See How does the internet see you?
Want to see how internet characterize your name from a predetermined set of categories that an algorithmic process created from a massive corpus of data? Let the internet create a data portrait of your aggregated online identity

When you try it for your name at http://personas.media.mit.edu/personasWeb.html, make sure you have your internet browser in Full Screen mode. However you will find it colliding with other similar names, so be careful with the results. I also tried it for Justin Timberlake, the scan went for 27 pages before i gave up.
