| Curly fries correlated with high intelligence |
|
Words fail me.
Possibly because I have never eaten curly fries.

i should have thought another easy metric would be the amount of time a person spends playing games on facebook
... it would correlate inversely with intelligence
... seriously though, the like button is and always has been a way of profiling people, and we are just at the beginning!

Don't sweat it. Nobel Prizes correlate with intelligence too, but you probably don't have one of those either.

It is true, I do not have a Nobel prize.
Things might have been different if I had known about curly fries earlier.

I want the meta-statistic.
Number of "likes" clicked as a raw percentage of number of pages with Like button viewed ...
... correlates with what?
Aren't curly fries a regional preference, like brown eggs or colored cheddar?

And now this metric will no longer be valid as lots of people reading that article will now go and click Like on Curly fries.

I fear I may not be intelligent enough to answer that question.
I had never heard of Curly Fries until I read the cited article.
And my first thought was that he was a member of some new boy band.
The "smart one", obviously.

What's with the fascination of wanting to know everything about US? It's creepy, like some deviant peeping in your back window at night. One day they'll use this data to decide our fate...that day may have already arrived.

Does the position of being able to "Like" (which requires having a Facebook account) also reveal something about a person?
