For the those who use Twitter: http://tweetpsych.com/ 

 

"TweetPsych uses two linguistic analysis algorithms (RID and LIWC) to
build a psychological profile of a person based on the content of their
tweets. The service analyzes your last 1000 tweets and works best on
users who have posted more than 1000 updates. It also works best on
accounts that are operated by a single user and use Twitter in a
conversational manner, rather than simply a content distribution
platform."

 

I doubt they've done validity studies, but it's an interesting idea...
if one does not go beyond the data.
