Here's what your selfie style reveals about your personality

• More agreeable (i.e. friendly) people were more likely to take pictures from below.
• More conscientious people were less likely to reveal a private space in the background.
• People who were more open to new experiences were more likely to display positive emotions.
• Neurotic people were more likely to use the duck face in their photos.

But here's the catch: When students looked at the collection of selfies, they didn't pick up on most of these correlations. For example, they (incorrectly) thought that pressed lips predicted extraversion and openness and that being alone in a photo meant the person was neurotic. The only accurate observation they made was that positive emotion generally predicted openness to experience.
