A new report from the Polytechnic Institute of New York University has linked susceptibility to phishing scams to personality traits. Women who were (based on the questionnaire and personality assessment) categorized as neurotic were also found to be the likeliest to fall for a Phishing scam. Those with open personalities tended to share more on Facebook and have an increased vulnerability to privacy leaks. However, there was no correlation between men’s personality types and their vulnerability to Phishing. The study may offer important insights into how personality traits impact decision-making online and it may aid in the design of more effective computer interfaces.”]
