IBM will now give you, for free, the same software that Google, The CIA and The NSA use to listen to your voice and text and analyze your perversions.

See this chart:




This is YOU based on one of your emails. This is YOU based on one of your phone concersations. IBM's software makes this and thousands of personality harvesting diagrams about you, for free now.

IBM'S Watson (The super giga computer that beat all of the chess masters) Cloud Software called
"BLUEMIX" is an online amalgam of IBM's left-over stuff that the spy agencies and corporate clients
didn't take 100% ownership of. Their software can listen to a little bit of your text, your wofes text, your bosses text or any one of your enemies audio or written words and figure out in what ways they are a pervert, what kind of depression they have, what time of the day they can be bribed, when they like sex, if they are an abuser..pretty much all of your inner secrets from just a few lines of text or a single phone call. You can blackmail people, force them to buy things, trick them into sex, screw over your boss, mess with your neighbor, catch your partner cheating.. the possibilities are endless...

Analyze your thoughts and personality through your voice input.

IBM Watson augments traditional social media analytics with cognitive algorithms to bring businesses more powerful discoveries and outline new ways of creating and consuming social media insights. As a core element of the IBM Watson platform, Personality Insights helps businesses to understand their customers in entirely new ways. It can automatically extract, from potentially noisy social media, portraits of individuals that reflect their personal characteristics. The service offers a set of core analytics for discovering actionable insights about people and entities. Such derived insights can then be used to guide highly personalized engagements and interactions to better tailor your products, services, campaigns, and other communications for your audience.

Personality Insights analytics are developed based on the psychology of language in combination with data analytics algorithms. Personality Insights extracts three types of personal characteristics from the data a person generates in social media or within their written digital communications:

• Big Five personality characteristics represent the most widely used model for generally describing how a person engages with the world. The model includes five primary characteristics, or dimensions:

• Agreeableness is a person's tendency to be compassionate and cooperative toward others.

• Conscientiousness is a person's tendency to act in an organized or thoughtful way.

• Extraversion is a person's tendency to seek stimulation in the company of others.

• Emotional Range, also referred to as Neuroticism or Natural Reactions, is the extent to which a person's emotions are sensitive to his or her environment.

• Openness is the extent to which a person is open to experiencing a variety of activities.

Each of these top-level dimension has six facets that further characterize an individual according to the dimension.

• Needs describe which aspects of a product will resonate with a person. The model includes twelve characteristic needs: Excitement, Harmony, Curiosity, Ideal, Closeness, Self-expression, Liberty, Love, Practicality, Stability, Challenge, and Structure.

• Values describe motivating factors that influence a person's decision-making. The model includes five dimensions of human values: Self-transcendence / Helping others, Conservation / Tradition, Hedonism / Taking pleasure in life, Self-enhancement / Achieving success, and Open to change / Excitement

Big Five

The first personality model, Big Five, was developed by Costa and Norman is the most widely used model to generally describe how a person engages with the world (see The science behind the Personality Insights service for more information). The model includes five primary dimensions:

Each top-level dimension has six subdimensions, or facets, that further characterize an individual according to the dimension. The following sections introduce the dimensions and provide detailed information about their facets. Each section includes three tables that provide the following information:

The first table, Facets, lists the dimension's facets and provides a brief description of individuals who score highly in each facet.

The second table, Range of characteristics, presents general descriptions that might apply to individuals whose scores evidence more of less of each facet of the dimension, as well as terms that might describe such individuals.

Note: The document PI-Facet-Characteristics.pdf provides a convenient single-page table that includes the Range of characteristics tables for the facets of all five dimensions.

The third table, Primary and secondary dimensions, presents information that relates the dimension to other dimensions, describing combinations of personality characteristics. In this table, the rows represent the dimension that is identified as the individual's primary characteristic, and the columns provide terms that might describe people whose scores on the remaining secondary dimensions are higher or lower. The table provides interesting insight into how primary and secondary characteristics might interrelate to represent an individual's composite personality.

Note: The document PI-Dimension-Characteristics.pdf provides a convenient single-page table that includes the Primary and secondary characteristics tables for all five dimensions.
