Thanks for doing this. It is hard to judge the data, but I just did a quick check for agreeableness, and it seems reasonable. The person rated highest for agreeableness top does in fact seem way more agreeable than the person at the bottom.

I'd be interested to learn what some of the headings really mean. For example, the only listing I'm near the top of is "Trust" (I'm #4) but I don't really know what that means in this context. I had a quick look at the IBM docs but couldn't figure it out.

Selfishly, it would also be pretty cool to be able to select a person and see their rankings across the categories :-)

Oh, and your "top 100 users" link on the front page is broken as it's not an absolute link.

- top 100 users link - fixed, thanks

- rankings across all the categories. good idea - shouldn't be hard to do, but don't have the time to implement it today :)

- as for what the headings mean, from what I understand they are related to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits - but yes, the IBM watson docs are very vague on this subject

You need to load your js files off https, by defalt your page does not work and you need to disable mixed content warnings for anything to load

Click Hedonism, ctrl f 'tokenadult', shrug at the sufficiently advanced technology indistinguishable from magic.

Purely in terms of the website, you have no back button from the list of users but also no support for browser history.

Otherwise cool!
