“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. For more infor­ma­tion read the blog post or fol­low the cre­ator Dan Zarrella
