Facebook profile predicts job performance

Posted: Updated:

Could your Facebook profile dictate your job success?  

A new study from Northern Illinois University's College of Business suggests just that. 
Within a matter of minutes, researchers on the study could look at a person's Facebook page and determine that person's taste in books and music as well as how social they are. 

The study also says Facebook information may be stronger than personality and I-Q measures that are currently used by human resource departments. 
Researchers say the study must be done again to see if the same results can be achieved.
