From the original article (as linked in a sibling comment), you can see the following result which is really interesting [1]. I do use the word 'fuck' when speaking and I've never been bothered by it but I can say that I don't think I've ever used in a facebook post. Which aligns with the study as I've previously done the Five Factor Inventory and have a low neuroticism score.

From the same study, Fuck is also highly correlated with age and gender. They also found a 25% less strong correlation between swear words and neuroticism, compared to a previous, given study. I'd imagine correlating swear words is especially hard because of their varied use. (For extreme happiness vs anger, for example)
