Same idea, however, as a central european and taking the last 100
years of history into account, I just wouldn't trust something like
Foundation ot Trust to survive for non-trivial amount of time. British
and American people, given their history, may be more relaxed about it
though.

Still better than substituting results of a standardised test for your
real self. Until we are able to scan human brain, the corpus of data
from social networks seem to be the best we have (information about
person's opinions, about their friends, photos of the past events,
favourite songs, daily rhytm etc.)
