I saw this article on a blog and it is genuine! Your email ID can say a lot about you! Here's the link to the article http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/Infotech/Internet_/Your_e-mail_address_can_reveal_your_personality/rssarticleshow/2987748.cms To quote " The panel's guesses agreed mostly with a personality survey the teenagers had completed when it came to qualities like openness, conscientiousness and narcissism, and diverged most on the trait of extroversion.

I would like to have seen some examples of different types of addresses and how they are perceived, given in the article. When they say email address I assume they really mean the user name, rather than the email service name.

The name of the journal it was published is put there - I'll check it out to see if the original study is available!@

I guess it may could be. But be careful of hackers, they can figure stuff out.

The article is simply about your id and what it shows about you - not about the type of emails you get etc!
