As celebrities and some of the world’s best-known figures, they often build their profiles on being positive, engaged, and entertaining. But now some of Britain’s personalities have revealed they are actually giving out messages of anxiety, arrogance, and anger.

An analysis of tweets posted by celebrities and politicians has revealed that some are betraying their hard-earned public images by revealing their emotions in their posts to their thousands and millions of followers.

One Direction’s Harry Styles scores as highly for angry as he does for being upbeat according to the analysis of his tweets. While X Factor judge Simon Cowell may be known for his caustic comments to contestants on the talent show, his tweets reveal he is predominantly upbeat, analytical, and personable. One Direction’s Harry Styles, on the other hand, known for his cheeky persona, appears to be angry.

Analyze Words, a website developed by researchers, uses the posts of Twitter users to reveal the main emotions they are portraying. The tool analyzes the most recent tweets to rate them for emotional, social, and personal style, and gives scores for 11 traits including how worried or angry celebrities are, as well as how upbeat and ‘plugged in’ they appear. Each person is then given a score from very low to very high for each of the categories.

Taylor Swift scores highly for depressed using the tool, as well as upbeat, following her more recent posts. Some of the findings are quite surprising and challenge the public image of well-known figures. The most pronounced trait for Stephen Fry is one of arrogance or distant, with the comedian and presenter scoring very high for this category compared to a low score for personable. Harry Styles, perhaps surprisingly, is almost as angry as he is upbeat according to the tool – which rates him ‘very high’ for both attributes.

Simon Cowell has been rated highly for the upbeat tone of his Twitter posts. His former girlfriend, musician Taylor Swift, scores highly for depressed as well as upbeat. And UKIP leader Nigel Farage, known for his fiery speeches, is predominantly upbeat, with a very high score for positivity. His rating for anger is low.

The tool also appears to pick up on current emotions personalities may be experiencing. For presenter Caroline Flack, the strain of appearing on Strictly Come Dancing could be starting to show as she scored very high for worried, as well as upbeat.

Kim Kardashian has scored highly for how upbeat and ‘plugged in’ she appears in her Twitter posts. Pope Francis scored the highest possible score of 100 for the upbeat tone of his tweets, Analyze Words found. Nigel Farage, leader of UKIP, was ranked very high for upbeat. Madonna scores one of the highest for angry, with a very high rating for her 91/100 score in the category. She rates low for personable and analytic.

While Kim Kardashian’s finely tuned image appears to be paying off, as she achieved high scores for upbeat and how plugged in, or how relevant to popular culture, her posts are. David Cameron may also be looking to improve his connection with voters following the results, as the Prime Minister scores highly for arrogant/distant. But he has achieved an almost 100 per cent score for being upbeat.

Analysis of the world’s religious leaders reveals a lot of positivity, with Pope Francis achieving the highest possible score of 100 for upbeat. The Dalai Lama was just behind with 99. The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, however, achieves a high score for arrogant/distant.
