AnalyzeWords is a service that performs linguistic analysis on any Twitter account in order to reveal the user's personality. Personality is broken down into emotional style (upbeat to depressed), social style ("plugged in" to "spacy valley girl"), and thinking style ("analytic" to "in-the-moment".)
The analysis is performed by analyzing the usually unnoticed text of "junk words", such as articles, pronouns, and prepositions. The analysis was developed by the University of Texas, Austin.
