Which Twitter Personality Type Are You?

This study is based on real life twitter profile observations.

the newbie’ – You’ve just joined. You have no friends. Move onto ‘social climber’ mode. But if you’re popular already on facebook, you can afford to sit back, relax. Become ‘the arrogant one’ – your days as a newbie are numbered.

the social climber’ – Tons of following, not so many followers. You’re hoping that some twitwhores will connect back to you. Keep going – you’ll make it as a ‘web celebrity’ some day!

the arrogant one’ – Let’s face it – you are arrogant. Your ratio of followers to following is high but your absolute number of followers + followings are low to medium. You may also be classified as ‘lazy’. I would at this point throw some examples in but I don’t want to offend anyone @Dwane.

the lazy one’ – [ironic lack of description].

the bore’ – You’re naturally accumulating people that you are following but nobody wants to follow you. I’m sorry, you will just have to try harder…

the femme fatale’ – So you’re female, hot and you‘ve got this strange following of geeks. Lots of followers, less following. Exploit this niche while it lasts baby.

the blogger’ – Tons of followers and you seem to be following quite a few as well. You are balanced and doing well. You add real value to the internet and adsense – thanks for that.

the entrepreneur’ - Whatever your intentions, twitter may help your startup and business opportunities. Use it and love it.

the web celebrity’ – Well done, you’ve made it to the higher echelons of net society. You have the highest levels of followers and you tend to follow lots of other people to help you maintain that position. Now its time to sell your twitter profile on ebay and use it for advertising products on each tweet.

the "omigod i don't understand how twitter works!" first post, and never posts again ... 1 reciprocal follower - your friend who made you join twitter in the first place.
