MBTI-BASED PERSONALITY PREDICTION FROM TEXT USING MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUES

Personality prediction research seeks to define and comprehend the nuanced differences in human behavioural tendencies, thought patterns, and emotional expressions. Utilizing an array of methodologies, including psychological assessments, behavioural observations, and computational modelling, researchers aim to anticipate and clarify an individuals distinctive personality traits and characteristics. Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) approaches are used to preprocess and translate text data into numerical features that can be predicted by machine learning models. The aim of this work is to predict the personality type of an individual linked to their posts and to explore the relevance of the test in the study and categorization of human behaviour using learning models. With the aid of a machine learning model and dataset, the main objective of this research is to determine a persons Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality type based on their postings. This involves utilizing various methodologies, including psychological assessments and computational modelling, to analyse and classify the unique personality traits and characteristics associated with each MBTI type. The research aims to contribute valuable insights into understanding human behaviour and leveraging machine learning for predictive personality analysis.

Problematic personality correlations associated with gist reading, financial pressure, and rejection fears

Amazon's MTurk is a popular source of data for personality researchers. However, recent papers suggests that Dark Triad and Dark Tetrad correlations are inflated within crowdsourcing samples. We argue that low pay exacerbates the need to get through a survey as quickly as possible. In combination with low pay, crowdsourced workers must also worry about their work being rejected if they appear incoherent. Consequently, participants are incentivized to rush through measures such as personality surveys while trying to maintain an image of cohesion. In two studies (N = 361), we found that gist reading in online surveys is common. Further, we found that fear of rejected work was highest on MTurk, and that MTurk samples showed higher psychopathy-Machiavellianism correlations than Prolific or student samples. Finally, when fear of rejection and gist reading were high, the relationship between Machiavellianism and psychopathy was inflated. In sum, we argue that researchers who pay low hourly wages and place workers under fear of rejected work may be creating an artificial inflation among correlations of overlapping but distinct personality assessments. Thus, gist reading may explain some of the variance with respect to the inflated correlations among related constructs, particularly in samples of MTurk workers.

Examining individual behavioural variation in wild adult bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas) suggests divergent personalities

Abstract Although many animal species demonstrate individual personalities, studying these traits in wild sharks has proven challenging. Past research focused mainly on captive or juvenile sharks. Our ethological study of 31 wild adult bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas) utilized an artificial provisioning site, amassing 2813 observations over 651 dives from October 2015 to January 2018 (27 months). Behavioural traits, including boldness-shyness and aggressiveness-placidity, were assessed using an ad hoc ethogram and an influencing factors table. This innovative approach not only allowed us to characterize individual shark behaviours but also to quantify their changes over time. Our findings suggest that adult bull sharks likely possess distinct personalities, spanning from extreme shyness to pronounced boldness, with varying levels of plasticity among individuals. Further exploration of shark personalities holds promise for advancing our comprehension of human–shark interactions and refining the management of potential aggressive behaviours exhibited by large shark species toward humans.

Exploring the Dynamic Interplay of Personality, Language Learning Strategies, and Environment in Indonesian EFL Learners' Success

Indonesian EFL learners are diverse in personalities, choices of language learning strategies (LLSs), learning environments, and many others, which may influence their success in EFL learning and performance. Considering the diversities, two elementary school students (ESSs) studying at a private Islamic elementary school (PIES) surpassed other participants from many schools in some English Olympiads around East Java, Indonesia. Hence, the present study was aimed at delving into the stories of two successful EFL learners in an Islamic elementary school in Bojonegoro, East Java, Indonesia. To gather the data, documentation on the participants' achievements artifacts (i.e., certificates, trophies, and medals) and semi-structured interviews to dig deeper into their EFL learning strategies to achieve success were conducted. The participants were requested to read the article draft to validate the data. Prior to the data gathering, both participants signed a letter of consent. The results revealed that each possessed distinct personalities that influenced their choices of EFL LLSs. These LLSs were boosted by the family and learning environment motifs, which further brought them to participate in and win the English Olympiads. Henceforth, it urges surroundings to aid ESSs in understanding their personalities, accommodates their LLSs, and provides a motivating environment.

Association Between Diabetes and Personality Traits Among the Elderly in China: A Latent Class Analysis.

The present study aimed to identify individuals with different personalities using latent class analysis and further distinguish those with a high risk of diabetes among different clusters. Data were utilized from a large-scale, cross-sectional epidemiological survey conducted in 2018 across 23 provinces in China, employing a multi-stage, stratified sampling technique. Latent class cluster analysis was performed to identify distinct personality clusters based on a series of variables concerning life attitudes. Logistic regression was used to calculate adjusted odds ratios (AORs) after controlling for potential confounding variables, including age, gender, body mass index, smoking status, alcohol consumption, hypertension, and physical activity levels, to determine the association between these groups and diabetes. Four distinct personality clusters were identified, namely the energy-poor (2.0%), self-domination (61.3%), optimistic (21.3%), and irritable (15.4%) groups. The prevalence of diabetes in these groups was 14.6%, 9.7%, 9.3%, and 11.6%, respectively. After adjusting for potential confounders, the "energy-poor group" exhibited more odds of having diabetes as compared to the "optimistic group" (AOR 1.683, 95%CI: 1.052-2.693; P=0.030). This study identified an energy-poor group of individuals with a high risk of diabetes. Targeted interventions should consider the emotional and personality characteristics of the elderly.

The plasticity of ChatGPT's mentalizing abilities: personalization for personality structures.

This study evaluated the potential of ChatGPT, a large language model, to generate mentalizing-like abilities that are tailored to a specific personality structure and/or psychopathology. Mentalization is the ability to understand and interpret one's own and others' mental states, including thoughts, feelings, and intentions. Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Schizoid Personality Disorder (SPD) are characterized by distinct patterns of emotional regulation. Individuals with BPD tend to experience intense and unstable emotions, while individuals with SPD tend to experience flattened or detached emotions. We used ChatGPT's free version 23.3 and assessed the extent to which its responses akin to emotional awareness (EA) were customized to the distinctive personality structure-character characterized by Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Schizoid Personality Disorder (SPD), employing the Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale (LEAS). ChatGPT was able to accurately describe the emotional reactions of individuals with BPD as more intense, complex, and rich than those with SPD. This finding suggests that ChatGPT can generate mentalizing-like responses consistent with a range of psychopathologies in line with clinical and theoretical knowledge. However, the study also raises concerns regarding the potential for stigmas or biases related to mental diagnoses to impact the validity and usefulness of chatbot-based clinical interventions. We emphasize the need for the responsible development and deployment of chatbot-based interventions in mental health, which considers diverse theoretical frameworks.

Religious Diversity Predicts Religions’ Population Growth in Tighter (vs. Looser) Cultures: A Study of Personality & Self-Reported Religion across 111 Countries

It is unclear whether religious affiliations and non-affiliations might grow differently in specific cultural environments populated by individuals with a particular personality profile, or how religious diversity in society might influence such growth. In the present study, mixed-effects analyses of moderated mediation conducted on online data collected from 111 countries (Valid N = 52) and across 4270 individuals (Valid N = 3632) showed that personality factors (Extraversion, Conscientiousness, and Agreeableness) could predict religiously affiliated populations growing faster between the years 2000 and 2015 in tighter (vs. looser) countries, which strictly impose social norms and have a low tolerance for deviant behaviors. This finding suggests that religious affiliations and non-affiliations might grow together in moderately tight–loose countries, supporting religious–secular pluralism. Moreover, the faster growth of religions in tighter cultures was stronger in countries ranking higher on the Religious Diversity Index (RDI), showing that all varieties of religions and faiths might become useful in tighter cultures for keeping an interest in religion alive among individuals with distinct personality profiles while ensuring the pervasiveness of social norms in society, toward furthering multi-religious pluralism and the growth of religious affiliations.

19세기 말 서원 훼철령 이후 대응과 변화

The Chugyechu clan gradually promoted royal family promotion projects by taking advantage of the royal family's preferential policies starting from the reign of King Yeongjo. As a result, their status as an aristocratic family was strengthened after the mid-19th century. After tracing, the Chu family was divided into Joseon and China, and after the Japanese invasions of Korea, the Chu Yu-gye family settled in Korea. However, because there was no distinct person, as generations passed, the clan was divided and the family lineage became weaker.
 However, after the mid-19th century, the scattered descendants were integrated to form a major head family, the family lineage was established, and the family's status steadily increased through various ancestral rite businesses. As a result, after destroying the headquarters, Daewongun was able to gather the public opinion of Cho clans and Confucian scholars across the country and launch a campaign to track down the Order of Munmyojong. Although Munmyojong failed, it served as an opportunity to publicize the chase throughout the country. Afterwards, Jo's descendants expanded their social network by interacting with influential families in each region through political and social connections, and each family carried out separate projects to honor their ancestors. As a result, Inheungseowon was rebuilt in Yeongnam in 1938 with the active cooperation of prominent families and Confucian scholars. After Daewongun's order to demolish the Seowon, the reconstruction of the Chugyechu Seowon in a situation where the Seowon was hardly rebuilt shows that the status of the Chugye Scandal has increased accordingly. The improvement of the status of the Chugyechu clan was possible not only because of projects to honor ancestors, but also because of the enlightenment and active social activities of descendants.

Deletion of Gtf2i via Systemic Administration of AAV-PHP.eB Virus Increases Social Behavior in a Mouse Model of a Neurodevelopmental Disorder.

Williams syndrome (WS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by distinctive cognitive and personality profiles which also impacts various physiological systems. The syndrome arises from the deletion of about 25 genes located on chromosome 7q11.23, including Gtf2i. Prior research indicated a strong association between pre-natal Gtf2i deletion, and the hyper-social phenotypes observed in WS, as well as myelination deficits. As most studies addressed pre-natal Gtf2i deletion in mouse models, post-natal neuronal roles of Gtf2i were unknown. To investigate the impact of post-natal deletion of neuronal Gtf2i on hyper-sociability, we intravenously injected an AAV-PHP.eB virus expressing Cre-recombinase under the control of αCaMKII, a promoter in a mouse model with floxed Gtf2i. This targeted deletion was performed in young mice, allowing for precise and efficient brain-wide infection leading to the exclusive removal of Gtf2i from excitatory neurons. As a result of such gene deletion, the mice displayed hyper-sociability, increased anxiety, impaired cognition, and hyper-mobility, relative to controls. These findings highlight the potential of systemic viral manipulation as a gene-editing technique to modulate behavior-regulating genes during the post-natal stage, thus presenting novel therapeutic approaches for addressing neurodevelopmental dysfunction.

Maintaining Identity of the Built Environments of Religious Cities: Impact of Expansions at the Historic Karbala, Iraq

The architectural landscape of the city of Karbala is a rich heritage which has the possibility to be used in the development and shaping of the urban fabric of the city. It demonstrates the richness of Islamic architecture and the rhythmic movement of architectural styles. Its importance in creating a distinct personality in all social, cultural, architectural, and environmental aspects is uncontested However, recent developments have witnessed a loss of the local style which is a major issue to be resolved. Any development of this area requires good planning methods and policies that deal with the cultural heritage that represents the memory of the society that must be preserved and dealt with carefully and cautiously. This paper examines this issue to unravel the reasons that have led to the deterioration of the urban and cultural identity of the homogeneous fabric of the city. Modern developments have affected its homogeneity that have led to a loss of its unity of concept, resulting in an urban and architectural chaos. In fact, the contemporary scene represents the disintegration of the bonds that link the parts of the city to the civilized existence of the culturally and economically dependent community in addition to urban interdependence. The research employs a set of methods were used in the identity analysis of the traditional urban fabric through the use of a questionnaire form as a method to collect data and information from a specific group of individuals closely related to the study site, as well as to understand and analyze the set of questions posed, as well as observation and analysis of the site based on random demolitions of the urban fabric compared to the experts' opinions that it should be preserved. The findings confirm the view that each city has its character and personality based on the general concept that it has grown up on. Preserving them will give the city a balance in its urban expansion, without falling into urban disasters that may cost the city. It could destroy its cultural and economic treasury together and may destroy its historical cultural heritage in an irreplaceable manner.

Venture capital investment selection: an exploratory assessment of the role of entrepreneur personality traits

ABSTRACT The objective of this study is to investigate which entrepreneur traits are preferred by venture capitalists (VCs) in their investment selection for funds with financial and impact goals. This explorative study draws on the Big-Five framework in management, connects these with VCs’ investment selections and assesses VCs’ biases using newly gathered empirical data from VCs in the Netherlands. Our results reveal that financial and impact VCs portfolios seem to confirm the importance of education and experience and seek distinct entrepreneur personality traits. This study shows that, in addition to considering the traditional hard traits, entrepreneur soft traits influence the selection process and are impacted by a VC fund’s purpose. The findings on the entrepreneur personality traits may help to give substance to the often alluded to “gut feeling” of VCs in investment decisions.

Muînüddin Çiştî'nin Hint Yarımadası’ndaki Tasavvufi Etkilerine Dair Bir Değerlendirme: Çiştiyye Tarikatı Örneği

This article aimed to analyse the life and works of Mu'in al-Din Ḥasan Ibn Sayyid Giyaseddin as- Sijzī al-Chishti (d. 633/1236) as well as the effects of the Chishti Tariqa of which he was the founder, in the Indian Subcontinent. The importance and effects of Chishti Tariqa, the first and largest sect of India, in the spread of Islam and the construction of the basic structure of Islamic civilisation and culture are mentioned. The Chishti Tariqa emerged around 930 CE in Chishti, a small town near Herat, Afghanistan, and this tariqa got its name from its founder Mu'in al-Din Chishti. The essential condition of the Chishti Tariqa is a life in accordance with the Qur'an and Sunnah, that is, following the Sharia. According to Mu'in al-Din Chishti, Sufism without Sharia is superstitious. People who follow the path of Sufism without following the Shari'a cannot enjoy spiritual life in any way. Mu'in al-Din Chishti settled the Chishti order in Lahore and Ajmer in India in the middle of the 12th century. Mu'in al-Din Chishti is among the most well-known scholars, thinkers and sufis in the Indian subcontinent. In addition, Mu'in al-Din Chishti has a distinguished personality in social life. He saw the religious life as a service to the creatures and inculcated his followers to be in the social life and to serve the creatures. For this reason, he considered meeting the needs of the needy and feeding the hungry as a requirement of obedience to Allah and never neglected this. Due to his influence in India, Mu'in al-Din Chishti was given titles such as "Merciful to the Poor, Sun of India and Spiritual Sultan of India". He first stayed in Bukhara and Samarkand for a while for his education and then went to Baghdad. Mu'in al-Din Chishti also visited many important Islamic science centres of the period, such as Damascus, Mecca, Medina, Hamadan, Tabriz, Herat, Nishapur, Isfahan, Gorgan, Sabzevar, Balkh, and came to Lahore in India via Ghazni. Mu'in al-Din Chishti was also an influential Islamic scholar who devoted himself to the spread of Islam. Due to his invitation, many people accepted Islam in groups. The rulers of the period were disturbed due to the increasing number of Mu'in al-Din Chishti's influence circle and the people around him. The Hindu Raja, the king of the period, who thought his authority would be in danger, started to persecute Mu'in al-Din Chishti and his followers in various ways. However, Mu'in al-Din's influence on the people increased continuously despite all these problems. According to historical records, approximately nine million non-Muslims became Muslims in India under the influence of Mu'in al-Din Chishti. The study aimed to delineate Mu'in al-Din Chishti's life, scientific personality, works, influences and sect, lineage, mystical views, his travels for science, the Islamic scholars he met during his travels and learned knowledge, and his societal influences. Chishti's sufi doctrines were discussed through essential concepts in his works and the sect's method. In addition, the article also described the relations of Chishti with the rulers of his own time, the difficulties he encountered during his guidance of the people, and the reasons for these difficulties.

Light and scanning electron microscopic characterization of the Egyptian buffalo hair in relation to age with analysis by SEM-EDX.

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate a relationship between the microstructure and measurements of Egyptian buffalo hair and age. The buffalo studied ranged in age from young to premature to adult (3-8 months, 1.5-3, 4-6, and 8-10 years). The hair was collected from the animals' withers. Cuticle elements were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), light microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. Hair shaft diameter increased with age, according to SEM and light microscopy measurements. The values of shaft diameter obtained by SEM of the same animal were 64%-67% of the values obtained by light microscopy due to shrinkage of the hair during the drying process. Additional microscopy measurements revealed that the width of the cortex and medulla increased with age, while the width of the cuticle decreased slightly. The medulla index of four different age groups ranged from 0.56 to 0.61 μm. The average distance between successive scale values increased from 4.83 μm in the young group to 8.86 μm between the ages of 8 and 10 years. The scale pattern had a distinct personality at each stage of age. The hair medulla was in the center and consisted of a mesh-like structure with large pores divided into smaller pores by septa. The cortex was a bundle of fibers that wrapped around the medulla. Light microscopy revealed small oval granules and large streak-like granules in the cortex. EDX spectra revealed that carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen were shown to be more abundant in all age groups of buffalo. In buffalo hair, oxygen was the second most abundant element after carbon. The carbon mass in the examined samples decreased slightly with age (42.31%, 39.18%, 38.88%, and 38.49%), while oxygen increased with age. We concluded that hair measurements varied with age, scale microstructure, and elements, so we estimated buffalo animals' ages up to 10 years. HIGHLIGHTS: The goal was to show a link between the microstructure and measurements of Egyptian buffalo hair and age. Hair shaft diameter increased with age, according to scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and light microscopy measurements. The hair shaft diameter obtained by light microscopy was higher than that obtained by scanning electron microscopy of the same animal; we hypothesized that the difference in hair shaft diameter measured by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy of the same animal was due to the shrinkage of the hair during the drying process. The width of the cortex and medulla increased with age, while the width of the cuticle decreased slightly. The average distance between successive scale values increased from 4.83 μm in the young group to 8.86 μm between 8 and 10 years old. At each stage of age, the scale pattern had a distinct personality. Carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen were found to be more abundant in the hair of buffalo of all ages and were detected using energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectra. After carbon, oxygen was the second most abundant element in buffalo hair. The carbon mass in the samples studied decreased slightly with age, while the oxygen mass increased. Hair measurements varied according to age, scale microstructure, and elements.

Malignant Self-Regard as an Overarching Framework for the Theory and Treatment of Depressive and Masochistic (Self-Defeating) Personalities.

Kernberg and McWilliams have spawned differing conceptualizations of the relationship between depressive and masochistic (self-defeating) personalities. Kernberg describes these personality styles as largely overlapping in features, whereas McWilliams accentuates important clinical differences that make up two distinct personalities. In this article, their theoretical perspectives are discussed and framed as more complementary than competitive. The malignant self-regard (MSR) construct is introduced and reviewed as an integrative self-representation that is shared by both depressive and masochistic personalities, as well as those often referred to as vulnerably narcissistic. We investigate developmental conflicts, motivations for perfectionism, countertransference patterns, and overall level of functioning as four primary clinical features through which a therapist may differentiate a depressive from a masochistic personality. We argue that depressive personalities tend to have more dependency-related conflicts and perfectionistic strivings motivated by lost object reunification, elicit more insidiously positive countertransference reactions in session, and are generally higher-functioning individuals. Masochistic personalities have more oedipal-related conflicts and perfectionistic strivings motivated by object control, elicit more aggressive countertransference reactions, and are relatively lower functioning. MSR is positioned as a bridge between Kernberg's and McWilliam's ideas. We close with a discussion of treatment implications for both disorders as well as how to understand and treat MSR.
