For a number of months, I've occasionally tracked the progress of the Personas project at MIT. Inspired by a LinkedIn status update by Francois Gossieaux where he wondered whether his MIT profile was accurate, I decided to perform a test of my two web personas. The results are shown below. Interested in seeing your own web persona? Here is the MIT link.

Interesting - I like the philosophy behind the project - no pretence of giving the right answers but encouraging to reflect on the dynamic and changing picture of your multiple 'selves' and the Internet content. Neatly shown in a bar of coloured bands. Yet, a bit disconcerting to see a different representation each time you launch the test - it produced three completely different results for me. Makes me wonder who I really am and/or question the reliability of the project. Any explanation why the results are different each time? Thanks for sharing the link.
