NEW YORK — A tweet can tell a lot about a person. President Donald Trump, who has sent off more than 35,000 missives on the microblogging service, has been diagnosed as creative and competitive, yet neurotic through his Twitter posts, a new study finds.
Researchers in Australia and Germany looked at the president’s use of language in 3,200 tweets posted before October of last year, hoping to find patterns of personality reflected in his messages.
Trump’s use of language and expression of personality through the platform was compared to that of 105 other notable business leaders and moguls, including Apple’s Tim Cook, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, and Tesla’s Elon Musk.
The analysis showed that Trump, who has over 30 million Twitter followers, has tendencies of an individual with a Schumpeterian personality.
Named for famed economist Joseph Schumpeter, those with a Schumpeterian personality tend to be very innovative in thought, change-oriented, competitive, and rule-breaking. The personality type is very common among entrepreneurial types.
Unfortunately, it would also seem that the president displays numerous neuroses, and has a low state of overall well-being.
“These traits are rather untypical for entrepreneurs since working as an entrepreneur may not only require emotional stability and optimism but also be able to increase happiness due to procedural utility,” says researcher Martin Obschonka, who adds that neurotic traits aren’t all bad, in a press release.
The researchers speculate that Trump’s high levels of neuroticism may have served as motivation to succeed in both business and politics.
“If social distinction is a core principle of the entrepreneurial personality, then we clearly see this principle reflected in his unusual personality profile,” says Fisch. “Many experts agree that really successful entrepreneurs not only dare to be different – they are different.”
As far as Trump’s personality traits serve him in governance, the jury is still out, the researchers note.
The study’s findings were published in the journal Small Business Economics.
1. Donald Trump saved the USA when he beat Hillary Clinton. She and George Soros were going to finish the job started by Soros and Obama. We would have lost our place in the world to China.
2. President Trump saved our children and grandchildren’s future when he freed them from the slavery of financial ruin, forced by the dreadful Paris Accords (that had nothing to do with the environment; was just an excuse to fool the masses).
3. President Trump struck a blow for decency when he (a) stopped pressing for men to have open access to all women’s/girls bathrooms, and (b) ended the “nightmare” of openly transgendered serving in the military.
4. President Trump saved taxpayers BILLIONS A YEAR by stopping the promise of guaranteed sexual reassignment surgeries of $250,000 each soldier (which would go to $500,000 AND UP when the weird doctors who do this type of surgery found out the US Military (funded by the ever burdened US taxpayer) was guaranteeing the fees!! Price through the roof!
5. President Trump is increasing our personal safety by fighting MS-13, challenging the notion of sanctuary cities, and ignoring BLM (funded by Soros).
6. President Trump is increasing our financial future by cutting burdensome regulations and making it profitable for businesses to (again) operate in the USA.
7. President Trump is saving the rights of our LEGAL immigrants by cutting down on the number of ILLEGAL immigrants (we know the difference) and DEPORTING the ILLEGALS while (intelligently) signing a bill to allow for 15,000 TEMPORARY SEASONAL WORKERS, which is how the USA has efficiently operated for years, providing low cost food supplies to the USA and others countries around the world, while providing a living wage for the workers.
When Trump beat Hillary, he gave the USA a fighting chance to recover from past errors. I was so grateful that I didn’t expect him to do a single additional thing. However, LOOK at the further great works he is accomplishing! He may be a little rough around the edges, but the transformation of the USA is truly a miracle! We have NEVER seen anything like this since Lincoln, Roosevelt, or Reagan!
Well said! Thank God! #MAGA !
