In this example, if the Prez visited your profile with his profile viewing options set to ‘Private profile characteristics’, you would see that someone with a generic picture, whose ‘characteristic’ was ‘President of the United States’ had viewed your profile. This basically anonymizes who you are, but still shows what you are. The second option for how your visit is displayed to LinkedIn users whose profile you have visited is ‘Private profile characteristics’. His ‘headline’ is “President of the United States”. For example, here is Barack Obama’s LinkedIn profile.

The default is “Your name and headline.” This will show the person you visited your full name, and whatever you have entered at the top of your profile. This will open the profile viewing options section, which allows you to choose how your visit will be displayed to the person whose LinkedIn profile you are visiting even when you are logged in to LinkedIn.
