Forward, the Light Brigade!'
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho'(though) the soldiers knew
Some one had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.
If they were to check Cim's likes, they would find that he hates Walmart employees and the baby Jesus.
Liberal and artistic, spontaneous and flexible, shy and reserved, emotional, assertive and competitive.
5/5 not bad I'd say.
Because I'm one hell of a butler.

I can't find the link where you test it? (Your algorithms may now assume that I'm blind and/or stupid!)
To be honest, Facebook is largely about letting people know you by publishing your interests so you can maybe discover that other people you know have the same interests. That's kind of what it's meant for, with all the pros and cons that come with it. Of course people will make assumptions - they will make the same assumptions if they get to know you by conventional means as well, or if you wear a particular t-shirt or have a particular ringtone etc.
Let's see, I often like cute things, Star Trek, MLP, anime and geek related stuff. It wouldn't take a genius to work out that I'm a geek, and by extension of the typical geek traits: single, shy, quiet, working in a technical job etc. And that by common brony traits I might be fairly kind and caring and enjoy popular "internet stuff". From the traits I've seen it might also assume I have depression, but it'd be wrong there.
Or maybe it'd take an Ignorant and Suspicious Human approach of "hurr durr it's an adult male who likes MLP, let's assume he's a pedo". In which case, if law enforcement - or worse still, the media - then worked off the same assumptions, it could ruin lives. Very chilling indeed in that case, but if there's one small blessing, a machine isn't a human. It'd probably go by real patterns and I've not heard of many (actually, any) documented cases of bronies grooming kids or whatever else people might assume if they were given a basic fact of "30 year old man who avidly follows a show for 7 year old girls" and no other context.
But even still, let's say that by some odd stroke of statistics, 40% of people who like both cheese and ducks have a criminal record. Suddenly, everyone who likes cheese and ducks is tailed by police and has their internet access monitored. Not good.
Question is, do we try to fight it, or do we accept this kind of thing as an inevitable part of the information age?
Random idea, but if they used stumbleupon interests instead of facebook, it might be more accurate to what a person "is."

Aye, but no one wants to be that honest.
