Quality of the data

It's a bit of a self-selecting sample. You're talking about people who will a) click on the quiz/app/thing called "My Personality" in the first place b) Click "Yes" to "Allow this app to rifle through my data"

So we're talking about thick narcissists. Although, come to think of it, that's the sort of demographic that advertisers would die for.
