Test yourself with Cambridge Analytics!

Cambridge Analytics is in all the headlines now, mostly for compiling/stealing your profile from Facebook, and then doing some psychometric tricks to make you vote for Trump. Their system is from research done at the University of Cambridge's "Psychometrics Centre". Let us test their mechanics from there.

very masculine, and 30 to 39 years old, according to University of Cambridge's Psychometrics Centre. Actually, I'm just a tad older, but otherwise they got it pretty much right, except for the "organized" thing. I used to be, but since I retired, I spend half my life looking for things.
