  • Hey EskimoPieLoves324b21, how hireable do you think you are?

  • Hey guys, Julia here for DNews

  • Once upon a time, in the early days of the internet. People used the platform to play

  • around with identity, you could be whoever you wanted to be. You could even be different

  • people! It was so much fun. Sadly.. those days are gone. According to researchers from

  • the University of Washington most people today say their online persona and their offline

  • self are pretty similar.

  • There are a number of studies that show how much first impressions matter. One of the

  • first things people see about us online is our username or email address. And man. Does

  • it matter. Which means that how you present yourself online, says a lot about you.

  • We concern ourselves so much with the big parts of our online persona, like our profile

  • picture or our bio, yet a lot can be inferred from something as small as an email address.

  • One study published in the Journal of Research in Personality calledHow extraverted is

  • honey.bunny77@hotmail.de?” found that people are actually pretty good at inferring personality

  • from email addresses.

  • Researchers looked at almost 600 e-mail addresses of young adults. They collected data from

  • personality tests that judged traits like neuroticism, openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness,

  • and narcissism and extraversion. The researchers then asked 100 other people what their impressions

  • of those people’s personalities were. They found that most people’s impressions were

  • pretty much the same based only on e-mail address alone.

  • Which you know, personality psychology is a little controversial, but the study at least

  • showed there are certain stereotypes at play with email addresses and those stereotypes

  • affect how people see you.

  • Which matters a lot when youre trying to land a job. One study published in the journal

  • Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking found that your email address makes a difference

  • when applying to jobs. It kind of sounds like a no-duh thing, but there actually hasn’t

  • been a lot of empirical evidence to back it up.

  • 73 professional recruiters looked at fake resumes, the resumes had a mix of things like

  • spelling errors, different typefaces and informal and formal email addresses. The recruiters

  • judged the applicants on intelligence and the 6 personality traits I mentioned earlier.

  • The study found that a less than professional email address like luv_u_sanne@hotmail.com,

  • was just as hurtful as spelling mistakes.

  • Even which email service you use says a lot about you. It could indicate howtech savvy

  • you are. Mailchimp did a survey that found that gmail and hotmail users tend be used

  • by the young adults with a median age of 31. Yeah I know Hotmail is so passe to us in the

  • Statesbut it’s still popular by young people abroad. Gmail users use Google Chrome

  • and like tech stuff. If you use a yahoo address youre probably around settling down age,

  • like 34, you like religion and maybe interested in recruitment and staffing. (and youre

  • probably no fun at parties) If your email ends in an AOL.com or Comcast.com you might

  • be in your mid 40s and are interested in the finer things in life like good food and gardening.

  • So whether we like it or not, our email addresses say a lot about us.

  • So much science to learn, you guys! So much I couldn’t possibly fit it all into one

  • episode. Fortunately, well have a chance to talk MORE science on Thursday April 9 at

  • 2 PM, pacific 5 eastern. That’s when were hanging out with Mitchell Moffit and Greg

  • Brown from ASAPScience and Joe Hanson from It's Okay to Be Smart! RSVP with the link

  • in the description because you do not want to miss it.
