Signal Patterns released a new Facebook application that accurately surveys and assesses personalities to improve online and real world relationships, and is now available to all Facebook users. You can get the Facebook app here.
In addition to the newly launched Facebook app, private beta invitations to Signal Patterns’ site (www.signalpatterns.com) are available on a limited basis to the first 200 people who sign up here. SignalPatterns.com offers an extended and more detailed personality assessment, as well as a music preferences survey and other features.
The company develops scientific-based social web applications that characterize and connect people in meaningful ways, enhancing your social graph in Facebook and hopefully also in the real world.
The new Personality Patterns Facebook app is a fun and insightful application offering Signal Patterns’ in-depth 45-score personality assessment algorithm, which is based on the trait-based “Big Five” theory. It assesses and connects people based on unique personality traits rather than rough “buckets” of personality types. The helpful and introspective social app enables people to learn more about themselves and how they can enhance their online and offline friendships, business associations and other relationships.
The Signal Patterns personality survey assesses 45 distinct personality traits, each representing not only a label, but also a degree, or a score, resulting in an extremely unique and extensive personality profile. The method is inherently different from more traditional type-based personality assessment methods like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI) that divide the entire population of people into a small number of uniform types. For example, when searching for similar people based on the MBTI, about 1/16 of all people would be considered “like you” (all people of the same type), whereas a detailed trait-based profile like Signal Patterns’ allows reaching into the long tail of personalities and finding others who are more similar to you than over 99% of the population.
In addition, Signal Patterns provides an audio-based “music personality” survey, where a person’s music preferences are ranked across 14 underlying music attributes (based on Signal Patterns’ proprietary FUSESSM model). Users can see their results at that detailed level, or at a less granular level, in the form of what Signal Pattern calls a badge, which can be deployed on a person’s Facebook profile, blog or web site. The badge is available at Signal Patterns’ hub site and offered with the Facebook app, too.
The new Personality Patterns Facebook app enables users to:
- Take the Signal Patterns personality survey
- View results (top 3 traits) via badge
- View personalized results (top 10 traits)
- View all your Facebook friends and see their results
- Compare your results to your friends’ results and other Signal Patterns members
- Discover “people like you” who have similar results as you
- Display your badge on your Facebook profile allowing others to compare to you
The Big Five of Personality with David Rosen:
Discussion
Great tips Brian, especially on your point about “assuming that you have one shot at getting someone excited about what you’re doing.”
I can’t stress enough the importance of crafting your escalator and/or elevator pitch and then rehearsing it over and over until it’s second nature and rolls off the tip of your tongue with ease. As one who shot some of those TC elevator pitches, and others before them, I’m amazed at how many people struggle with it, which is why rehearsing it over and over is critical. And show your passion and enthusiasm.
I encourage everyone to shoot and submit their elevator pitch videos to TC. It’s an excellent way to get feedback. And you’ll be that much better at it so when you have the opportunity to be on a broadcast television show or interviewed for online video, you’ll have that perfect soundbite that producers love.
