What’s your Twitter personality? Are you someone who shares content and links? Do you use Twitter to connect with other people? Is Twitter a conversation tool?
An interesting tool to determine your Twitter personality is Klout, which slots you into four different categories based on how often you tweet, who you follow, who follows you, and how you interact with your Twitter ecosystem.
To use Klout, insert your user name and click on “Go”. This produces a chart like this:
Here’s how Klout defines the different categories:
Connector - You are a constant source of information to your friends and co-workers. There is a good chance that you probably introduced several of your friends to Twitter. Your taste and opinion is respected and your judgment is trusted.
Persona – You have built a personal brand around your identity. There is a good chance that you work in social media or marketing but you might even be famous in real life. Being a persona is not just about having a ton of followers – to make it to the top right corner you need to engage with your audience. Make no mistake about it though, when you talk people listen.
Climber – You are building an audience and finding your voice. Engaging more with others and building trust will help you move towards the upper right corner and then into the Persona quadrant. On the flip side, however, corporate broadcasters and spammers often find themselves in the lower right corner with a relatively large audience but no influence.
Casual - You don’t take this Twitter stuff too seriously. People towards the lower left corner are probably very new to social media. Most people in this quadrant tend to engage with a small group of friends that they know in real life. If you’re in the upper right corner, you have succeeded in building a strong audience, but need to engage and be more active to jump to the next level.
