This one fits in the Captain Obvious category – or, because it was a formal study conducted by university researchers, let’s call it Dr. Obvious – but a new study shows that you can detect narcissism by examining a person’s Facebook page.
Really?
Best bit from the article:
“The researchers found that the number of Facebook friends and wallposts that individuals have on their profile pages correlates with narcissism. Buffardi said this is consistent with how narcissists behave in the real-world, with numerous yet shallow relationships. Narcissists are also more likely to choose glamorous, self-promoting pictures for their main profile photos, she said, while others are more likely to use snapshots.”
No kidding.
