Admit it: The first thing you do after finding someone on social media is take a long, good look at their profile picture. After all, it can say a lot about a person.
承认吧,在社交网络上找到某人后,你会做的第一件事就是仔细地看他们的头像。毕竟这能透露关于这个人的很多信息。
To prove it, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania analyzed 60,000 Twitter users' photos and asked 429 people to fill out a personality questionnaire. Here's what they found, as illustrated by a few of our favorite social media loving celebs.
为这证明这一点,宾夕法尼亚大学的研究人员分析了六万名推特用户的头像,并请429人填写了性格调查问卷。他们的发现也在好几个我们最喜欢的网络红人身上得到验证。
If it's just your face ...
如果你的头像是自己的脸
You're conscientious. There's a reason you didn't go with the group shot from your last birthday party: You're trying to come off as older and more mature. You also prefer "orderliness, planned behavior, and self discipline" and chances are your picture is also light, colorful, and natural-looking.
你是个认真负责的人。你有理由在自己的生日派对上不和大家合影:你试着给人留下长大和变得更成熟的印象。你也喜欢“秩序、计划好的举止和自律”。你的头像可能也是明亮多彩的自然风光。
If it's a group of people ...
如果你的头像是一群人
You're extroverted. It might not be the most well-shot pic, but who cares when it shows off all your favorite people? You often come off as youthful in your picture and are photographed with other fun-loving people - but when you're the life of the party, we bet it's hard to find a pic that's not as such.
你是个性格外向的人。也许这不是照的最好的一张照片,但它展示的是你最喜欢的一群人,这又有什么关系呢?在你的照片里,你和别的有趣的人一起留影,给人留下年轻活力的印象。但当你在派对中时,我们敢打赌说要找到没这么多人的照片十分困难。
如果你的头像色彩缤纷
You're agreeable. Your photo also probably features smiling faces, but that's not the focal point. In fact, the quality of your photo is likely low in sharpness, blurry, and bright. But in general, it gives off a positive emotion since you tend to evoke social harmony and cooperation.
你是个和蔼可亲的人。也许你的照片里还有微笑的面庞,但那并不是关注点。实际上,你的照片锐度较低,显得比较模糊而明亮。但总体而言,这给人带来了积极向上的感觉,因为你试着促成和谐和合作的氛围。
If it's black and white ...
如果你的头像是黑白的
You're neurotic. Since your choice is basically the opposite of colorfulness, it's likely you're a little emotional and can be a bit negative at times. But perhaps grayscale just speaks to your dramatic side.
你是个神经质的人。由于你的选择和色彩缤纷相反,你很有可能有点情绪化,有些时候还会有点意志消沉。但也许这也展示了你戏剧般的一面。
如果你的头像充满艺术气息
You're open. We're talking high-contrast, saturated images. While usually you don't show your face, when you do, you're probably making a statement. These unique choices show you're intellectual and open to new experiences.
你是个思想开阔的人。这里我们指的是对比度高、饱和度高的图片。尽管你不怎么发自己的照片,但在你发照片时,你或许是想宣告些什么。这些独特的选择体现了你是个聪明且对喜欢接受新鲜事物的人。
