It’s a pressing issue for any possessor of a 2014 smartphone and accompanying emoticon keyboard.
Mis-reading someone else’s emojis can prove to be very dangerous, just as using the wrong emoji yourself can send a completely unintended message… Did that emoji of a glass of red wine make your parents think you’re an alcoholic? Did that love-heart you just texted to your boyfriend, freak him out and make him think you want to move in together? Did sending the picture of the smiling poo to your sister-in-law make her think she needs to amp up her deodorant use.
A smiling emoji is not simply a demonstration of happiness; it’s actually a deep insight to your soul, what mark you will leave on the world and what kind of person you are.
Emojis are serious business, and if used incorrectly, can have detrimental consequences.
Enter stage left: Emojinalysis – a website that psychoanalyses a person’s use of emojis, saves them from future disastrous miscommunications and is a step up from the old Cosmopolitan ‘what kind of friend are you?’ quizzes.
With the tagline, “Show me your recently used emojis. I tell you what’s wrong with your life,” the blog was created by copywriter, Dan Brill. To participate in Emojinalysis, all you have to do is a screenshot your most recently used emojis (click the little clock symbol on the emoji keyboard), along with your first name and age. Then Brin will tell you what your emoji use says about you.
For example:

Some straight talking for Kate:
Confession time. What are your most commonly used emojis? What do you think your emojis would say about you?
