Facebook knows everything about us because we tell Facebook everything, knowingly or, in most cases, without knowing it. Our tastes, likes, friends we have, people we follow, the pages and friends with whom we are most in contact are all things known to Facebook.
If we want to know how Facebook sees us, there are some external tools and applications that, by checking our profile and that of friends, manage to extract a different type of interesting information and statistics.
1) The first of these tools is Data Selfie (no longer exists) which by analyzing a person's Facebook profile manages to pull out a series of statistics and also the Big Five graph. The Big Five is a very popular psychology test that sees people according to some personality variables: extrovert-introvert, pleasant-unpleasant, conscientious-negligent, neurotic-established (emotionally) and open-close (mental). The Five application does nothing but show us how we are according to an analysis of the profile and what we have published and also shows us the closest friends to us. In addition to friends, the profiles of some big world personalities such as Barak Obama and Mark Zuckerberg are also shown. Unfortunately, this test only works for those who write in English.
2) The test to know who you are based on Facebook "likes" is on Apply Magic Sauce, which is discussed in another article.
3) Wolfram Alpha provides a tool for analyzing your Facebook profile in order to generate a complete report with all the aggregated data of your account .
You can then dig deep and see how many times the status has been updated since the beginning, the total number of written comments, the photo most liked by friends and much more. To start, you need to connect your Facebook account by pressing the " Get Started " button. Then you need to provide an email address to sign up for the search engine. After giving the necessary authorizations, you only have to wait a few minutes to see all the extracted information. The report generates a series of statistical information on everything that has appeared on your bulletin board since the beginning of the story, that is, by registering on Facebook.
In addition to basic information such as age, date of birth, residence, etc., there are various pie charts and data regarding: status updates, published links, number of photos in which you have been tagged, and so on. Especially those who use Facebook a lot will be able to read information about the most used applications and games, the days of the week in which they write the most, the activity during the year and then lots of info on friends to see where they come from, the percentages of engaged or free friends, male and female, employed or unemployed, the most common name, average age and provenance.
4) Friend Chart is an app in Excel that I have already talked about in the past to see Facebook friends' statistics and graphs.
