Posted: Updated:
WOIO -

How many times a day do you 'Like' a friend's picture or status on Facebook? Well, you may be revealing a lot about yourself with a few simple clicks!

The University of Cambridge looked at the Facebook profiles of more than 58,000 people. The study found it's possible to predict potentially private traits just by analyzing Facebook 'Likes!'

Those traits include a person's race, sexual orientation, political leanings, religion, intelligence, emotional stability and even if they abuse drugs or alcohol!

You can see what your 'Likes' are saying about you by visiting Cambridge's "you are what you like.com" and logging in with your Facebook profile!
