I visit my own profile at least once (usually several times) every time I get on an SE site. This is almost always SO, but I'll check my profile on every site where I've an account when I visit. I'll check in at least four times a week, usually five or six. My most common actions, in descending order of frequency:

  • Check flagging results. By a vast margin, this is what I use my profile for most often.
  • Examine details of reputation changes. I would do this much more frequently if my reputation volatility were high.
  • Look up comments which have pinged me. This is often a result of seeing only a partial comment in the notification area.
  • Search for a particular question, edit, answer, or comment I've made.
  • Check suggested edit results, when I have < 2000 rep. This is generally used only if one is rejected, which is a rarity. If I had more rejected suggested edits, I would check it much more frequently.

On someone else's profile:

  • Examine their questions, answers, or activity history. This is usually done to check if they've posted duplicate questions, or to get a sense of their general writing style and asking/answering abilities.
  • Look up contact information.
