    ....according to a recent study.
    It’s not exactly official, but should also surprise no one: According to a new study the psychological profile of iPad owners can be summed up as “selfish elites” while have-not critics are “independent geeks.”

    Link.

    So, iPad owners, does that article accurately describe you? Or is it yet more begrudging psychobabble?

    Discuss. :D

    I followed to the links from that article to the guys blog where the orignal story came from and then in the first paragraph i seen this line
    From March through May of 2010 MyType surveyed over 20,000 of its users on Facebook about Apple’s iPad to reveal the personality traits

    Ah so his scientific survey is based on a, oh right a facebook survey.
    At this point i stopped reading his article and went back to real news sites like well eh the sun :D

    lol, Silly survey.. :)
    *puts on cynical hat on* MyType was probably paid by Apple to generate more hype for their products. :D

    Ah, classic.

    I would expect better from Wired magazine. Slow news day, and all that.
