If you’re on popular social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, you can probably group friends into categories based on their online behavior. There’s the vaguebooker (also known as the “sub-tweeter”). The humblebragger. The guy that won’t stop talking about politics. And the one who spoils every good scene on your favorite TV show (also known as the “spoiler”.) So what does your social media personality say about you?
However, one’s online behavior isn’t just a reflection of personality quirks; it can also tie into deeper psychological tendencies. For instance, those who consistently seek out new information and engage in lively debates might align with the MBTI personality type of ENTP or ENFP, known for their enthusiasm for exploration and discussion. Conversely, individuals who prefer to keep a low profile online and avoid conflict could lean more towards an ISTJ or ISFJ personality type, valuing stability and harmony in their social interactions. So, whether you’re the spoiler or the humblebragger, your social media habits can offer insights into your unique MBTI personality type.
This social behavior study by MyLife, was conducted among 890 adults ages 18 and older and there’s a good chance you fit into one of these personas. In fact, if you’re a young parent, there’s a 88% chance you are posting pictures of your kids or talking about parenting at least once a month. Not to mention 25% of users are “vaguebooking” by posting intentionally vague updates which encourage people to react and inquire for more details.
