Phone movements can predict your personality

Mobile phone movement patterns say a lot about your personality type, say, researchers who used data from phone accelerometers - the tiny sensors tracking phone movement for step-counting and other apps - to predict people's personalities."Activities like how quickly or how far we walk, or when we pick up our phones during the night, often follow patterns and these patterns say a lot about our personality type," said Flora Salim, Associate Professor at RMIT University in Australia in the study published in the journal IEEE Explore. Previous studies have predicted personality types using phone calls and messaging activity logs, but this study showed adding accelerometer data to improved accuracy.
