I found it relatively inaccurate, but oddly, it was always very precise; i.e. when it got things wrong, it got them profoundly, diametrically wrong.
One thing I wonder is whether there is any logic to deal with confounding variables--for instance, if someone picks every photo that has a bike in it, maybe they just like bikes, and those data points should be excluded.
On the whole, though, the pairwise people have probably as good a shot at anyone at making a not-suck personality analyzer.

That's how I answered most questions. I like chocolate; I like nature; I like neater pictures over complex ones. I have no idea what all that means - may be someone does.
