DESCRIPTION:In 2007 I founded a Facebook application called myPersonality 
 that allowed users to take real psychological questionnaires used in actua
 l scientific research. Since then\, more than 6 million people took a pers
 onality questionnaire and 30% of those gave permission to access their Fac
 ebook profile. I will discuss how researchers can collect their own data\,
  and some examples of research we've done so far.\n\nFor reading group pro
