# How to get a personality read from your own exports

The short answer: export your data from Instagram, WhatsApp or Google, then load it into a tool that reads text for personality, or paste it into a general chatbot. The tools differ most in what they read, where your file goes, and what you get back. Every one of them, ours included, gives an inference, not a measurement.

## Step 1: export your data

- **Instagram**: Accounts Centre → Your information and permissions → Export your information, as JSON. The file usually arrives within 1–2 hours. [Step-by-step guide](https://psycheai.io/download-instagram-data).
- **WhatsApp**: open a chat → Export chat → Without media. Instant. [More](https://psycheai.io/whatsapp-chat-analysis).
- **Google**: Takeout with only My Activity, as JSON. Usually minutes. [More](https://psycheai.io/personality-report-from-google-takeout).

## Step 2: pick a tool

### 1. TypeMyVibe

Reads chats from several apps, and your history with AI assistants or public posts, and gives MBTI, Enneagram, Big Five and a moral alignment, quoting the lines behind each. Your chat is uploaded to its servers and, it says, deleted afterwards. **Best for:** several frameworks from one chat.

### 2. MosaicChats

Reads an Instagram DM export, or a single conversation: sentiment over time, each person’s share of the messages and a compatibility score. **Best for:** one relationship, as charts.

### 3. ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini

Upload a file and ask. Capable, but the raw export goes as it is, names and friends’ messages included, and a full Instagram export is usually more than a chatbot can take in at once. [What ChatGPT can see](https://psycheai.io/chatgpt-tell-me-about-myself).

### 4. PsycheAI (ours)

Reads a full Instagram export, or two or three WhatsApp chats, plus Google and Facebook if you like, in your own browser. Only a de-identified summary that you review is sent. You get a shareable Psyche Card, a full report with the evidence, Psyche Sync with friends and a coach that has read it. Your first card and report are free; there is no subscription and no account. **Best for:** a full picture of you, privately. [See the sample report](https://psycheai.io/sample-report).

## The limits, honestly

- **It is an inference.** No tool here, ours included, is a validated psychological test. Treat a result as a well-argued opinion, and look at the evidence it gives.
- **It sees only what you exported.** If you mostly talk in person or on another app, the reading is thinner, and a good tool says so.
- **Chosen chats are a biased sample.** The two or three people you pick are usually your closest, so the read of how social you are is weaker from chats alone.
- **Old data is old you.** Years of posts mix who you were with who you are; the most recent activity should count most.
- **Other people are in your data.** Your friends did not choose to be read. Prefer tools that read the file on your device and send as little of their words as possible.
- **It is not therapy.** These are tools for insight and reflection, not diagnosis or treatment.

## What to check before you upload

- Does the file leave your device, or only a summary?
- Are names and contacts removed first, and can you see what is sent?
- Is it kept, and is it used to train AI?
- Is it a one-off price, or a subscription?

## Questions

### Which export gives the best reading?

Instagram, because it holds years of posts, comments and messages. Two or three WhatsApp chats with people you talk to a lot are the fastest start. Google adds your interests.

### Is it safe to upload my export?

It depends on the tool. A raw export holds other people’s names and messages. PsycheAI reads it on your device and sends only a de-identified summary you have reviewed.

### How accurate is a personality read from data?

Useful, not exact. Behaviour is harder to fake than a questionnaire, but it is still an inference, so a good reading says how confident it is.
