Ever since I tried my hand at Facebook, I've always wondered what's the percentage of people out there who do not put up their profiles or put up a missing profile or partial profile image. Are males or females more likely to put up their pictures? Ok lah I'm one of those who still puts up his little Star Wars Mr. Potato Head Photo but soon soon, will change that once I get the right image up :) Anyways I did a little survey and after collating some data over the last few weeks, I have come up with some surprising stats. This part is a little technical but you will need to understand it first. Tried not to get duplicates but there maybe a small magin of error for duplicate counts. Also Gender is basically decided from the name (John's a Male) or photo in the event I can't tell based on the name (Leslie can go both ways) also I have to based on the photo and the person may have used a different photo which may have again a small percentage of error, but I figured it's probably negligible. I decided to split up the groups into 4 main categories. (A) - Good Images (can see the person photo, some maybe small but still can see) (B) - Missing (those that have not put up any image yet) (C) - Hidden (those with image but cannot see face, eg use a photo or cartoon, showing back, bend head etc.) (D) - Partial (those with images but face partially hidden, eg by hand, scarf, hat, some object etc.) So here are the results ....... Total number of subjects - 2967 (Males = 1438, Females = 1529) Total Percentage of GOOD Cases (Type A) - 69.87% (Males = 68.57%, Females = 71.09%) It's a very close figure, almost 70% of subjects put up a good image. Of the other Types the total percentage is (B) - 7.38% (Males = 6.19%, Females = 8.50%) (C) - 13.41% (Males = 15.02%, Females = 11.90%) (D) - 9.34% (Males = 10.22%, Females = 8.50%) Not much difference I can see except maybe Males are slightly more likey to partially hide or totally use a different picture as their profile while Females may have a tendency to just leave their profiles blank. So I wonder if you are on any of those social networking sites are your list of friends that have Good Profile Images about 70%?
