by differing norms for social media use or many other factors. Prosocial words predicting lower IQ does however suggest interesting future work.

### Sensational Interests

In this study, SIQ is the easiest continuous variable to predict, even with an order of magnitude less training data than personality. The SIQ asks lists 28 discrete interests like ‘black magic’ and ‘the armed forces’. Very similar terms can be recovered from statuses: ‘zombie’, ‘blood’, ‘vampire’; ‘military’, ‘marines’, ‘training’. Personality tests, on the other hand, ask more abstract questions like ‘I shirk my duties’ for conscientiousness. Many of these duties seem to be extracted in Table \[words\_big5\]: ‘studying’, ‘busy’,‘obstacles’. But many more training examples are required for similar performance.

This is the first work to demonstrate an automatic system for predicting SIQ. Previous research relied on manually counting the number of sensational interests in statuses. The count was only correlated with militarism among men; the relationship was negative for women [@hagger2011social].

### Satisfaction With Life

Previous research cast doubt on the relationship between status updates and SWL [@wang2014can]. The number of positive words used on Facebook nationwide in a given day, week, or month, is inversely correlated with the SWL of that time period’s
