Ever wondered why some people love doing duckfaces on their pictures? Or why they keep on doing the same angle over and over again?

The discovery:
-Duckfaces are linked to neuroticism and emotional instability
-Lower camera angles and brighter filters are linked to extroversion and openness
-Secrecy in the selfie’s locations are associated with conscientiousness and even paranoia, hinting the value of privacy.

Their personality traits and their predominant selfie poses were then correlated together.
