I can't wait to see how many "I" types are must more "E" on Twitter. People are different when the veil of the screen is in front of them.

I prune my followers weekly to weed out spammers, scammers & marketing people. I unfollow the merely uninteresting and block anyone who's using Twitter as an overt marketing tool.

about 70 followers on Twitter... I'm not really actively seeking fame and fortune there, though. I try not to post more than once or twice a day so I don't bug anyone! :-)

I guess I should start being more interesting, huh?
You need to test the assumptions you make from this preliminary study by starting with an individual's follower count and attempting to predict their Myer-Briggs type.

Are you at all curious about how long people have been on Twitter?

Then, based on how that goes, I have a part two and a part three survey in mind to carry the data out further, both beyond twitter to other networks and into issues like demographics.
This is all very informal right now, but I'm hoping it leads to some very useful data I can share with everyone.

The only challenge with this is of course I have used other profiling tools that I feel are more consistent and accurate than Myers Briggs / Disc. I wonder if we did the Strengths Finder assessment from Marcus Buckingham if it would tell us more.
Also what about Social Intelligence / Emotional Intelligence levels? You would think that those that don't understand social norms / ettiquette may do worse? Conversely they may also attract a bunch of people with the same lack of social intelligence?
Regarding the Dunbar theory I think we also have to realize that people define relationships differently. I'm not sure about the 150 number, especially with so many technology tools at our disposal to manage multiple relationships.

I think it might be interesting to look at the ratios between following/followers rather than the actual numbers themselves - as you'll probably have problems controlling for time spent on Twitter. Finding a way to measure the way in which people use Twitter in relation to their personality type might also be interesting, though is obviously harder to quantify.

I have 6300 followers @kanter
I wrote a paper about 15 years ago using the Myers Briggs and Gardner's Intelligence theory as the basis for online community participation and designing online technical support programs. I can't find it -- I didn't have a large sample, I administered tests to sample of 100 online participants and conducted depth interviews. There were definitely some patterns as to who lurks who doesn't, who asks for help, how the help needs to strutured, and implications for online moderators. I'll be curious to see what you come up with.
