A copywriter’s experiment on how people judge your social media profile pictures
Have you ever been sucked in by these Facebook tests? A friend shared this one and I just had to have a go – it’s fun right? And the results of this photo analysis where totally amazing for my ego. My 17-year-old found my attitude age hilarious. I dare you to judge me – how old do you think I am? No rewards will be given but here’s a clue – the above is very flattering.
This little Facebook test (probably more fake than a Kardashian), made me think about how people judge your social media profile pictures. So I did some research using www.photofeeler.com (which is awesome fun – try it) and here are the results.

My current LinkedIn social media profile picture
This is my current LinkedIn picture which I also use for my Clever Copywriting School profile picture and on my ‘About’ page. I ran the photo feeler test for both ‘Business’ and ‘Social’ to see the comparison. I have my occupation listed as ‘copywriter’.
According to the 10 independent people who gave their opinion, I’m not very competent, likeable or influential in a business sense, but it’s an awesome photo socially – I’m confident and fun.
My current Facebook social media profile picture
My new gorgeous little lizard Betty is the focus of my Facebook profile picture. Again, I ran the photo feeler test for both ‘Business’ and ‘Social’ to see the comparison. My occupation is again listed as ‘copywriter’.
It seems I’m much more likeable and influential when holding a cute little lizard. And it’s kicking butt on the social side (but don’t tell my daughter she’s right as she’s the one who told me to use it for my profile pic).
So I played with old social media profile pictures just for fun
Since I was playing and experimenting, I decided to get judged on my past social media profile pictures that I’d used for both Facebook and LinkedIn. Here are the results. I’m thinking I need to find a photographer for some professional business shots.
