“…Despite some known limits (Eysenck, 1991;Paunonen & Jackson, 2000), over the last 50 years the Big Five model has become a standard in psychology and experiments using the Big Five have shown that personality traits influence many aspects of task-related individual behaviour. For example, the success of most interpersonal tasks depends on the personalities of the participants, and personality traits influence leadership ability (Hogan, Curphy, & Hogan, 1994), general job performance (Furnham, Jackson, & Miller, 1999), attitude toward machines (Sigurdsson, 1991), sales ability , teacher effectiveness (Rushton, Murray, & Erdle, 1987), and academic ability and motivation (Furnham & Mitchell, 1991;Komarraju & Karau, 2005). However, to date there has been little work on the automatic recognition of personality traits (Argamon, Dhawle, Koppel, & Pennebaker, 2005;Mairesse & Walker, 2006a, 2006bOberlander & Nowson, 2006).…”

It is well known that utterances convey a great deal of information about the speaker in addition to their semantic content. One such type of information consists of cues to the speaker's personality traits, the most fundamental dimension of variation between humans. Recent work explores the automatic detection of other types of pragmatic variation in text and conversation, such as emotion, deception, speaker charisma, dominance, point of view, subjectivity, opinion and sentiment. Personality affects these other aspects of linguistic production, and thus personality recognition may be useful for these tasks, in addition to many other potential applications. However, to date, there is little work on the automatic recognition of personality traits. This article reports experimental results for recognition of all Big Five personality traits, in both conversation and text, utilising both self and observer ratings of personality. While other work reports classification results, we experiment with classification, regression and ranking models. For each model, we analyse the effect of different feature sets on accuracy. Results show that for some traits, any type of statistical model performs significantly better than the baseline, but ranking models perform best overall. We also present an experiment suggesting that ranking models are more accurate than multi-class classifiers for modelling personality. In addition, recognition models trained on observed personality perform better than models trained using selfreports, and the optimal feature set depends on the personality trait. A qualitative analysis of the learned models confirms previous findings linking language and personality, while revealing many new linguistic markers.

“…The first one is Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ). Many studies used EPQ in order to measure personality as separately or in correlation with other variables (Furnham, Jackson & Miller, 1999;Goh & Moore, 1977;Jackson & Lawty-Jones, 1996;Khosravi & Bigdely, 2008;Pazouki & Rastegar, 2009). …”

The idea which includes the five dimensions of personality has strong dominant in the field of personality studies. In this way, it has enjoyed wide spread popularity in applied organizational context. Although five factors were found in various studies, but its structure has not been accepted generally. The present study aims to explore the current studies regarding nature of five dimensions of personality, its application, its limitations, and the other related characteristics in order to revalue it. The current study confirms the suggested structure of such traits for the study of personality.

“…Much effort is currently put in research into the relationships between (cognitive) ability, personality, learning style and work performance (see, for example, Furnham et al, 1999;Austin et al, 2002;Zhang, 2003) to detect the relevant aspects and their dynamic behaviour. To draw more conclusions in this respect, we would need to extent the study with measurements of generic competences, such as learning style data.…”
