Conference Papers

Abstract

In this paper, we present ongoing experiments and insights regarding automatic and human assessment of perceived personality. While within the INTERSPEECH Speaker Trait Challenge participants will train systems in order to recognize binary targets along the Big 5 personality trait, we will analyze and discuss properties of the data, the labeling scheme and the predictive quality. Conducting factor analyses, estimating reliability, and building regression models capturing dimensions of personality we compare all results to our own work and introduce a new extension of our personality database. In conclusion, this paper contributes in methodology and understanding on how to asses the perceived personality from an unknown speaker by humans and machines. Index Terms: extra-linguistic speech properties, personality modeling from speech, speaker characteristics

Personality test

A personality test is a method of assessing human personality constructs. Most personality assessment instruments (despite being loosely referred to as "personality tests") are in fact introspective (i.e., subjective) self-report questionnaire (Q-data, in terms of LOTS data) measures or reports from life records (L-data) such as rating scales. Attempts to construct actual performance tests of personality have been very limited even though Raymond Cattell with his colleague Frank Warburton compiled a list of over 2000 separate objective tests that could be used in constructing objective personality tests.

Big Five personality traits

The Big Five personality traits is a suggested taxonomy, or grouping, for personality traits, developed from the 1980s onward in psychological trait theory. Starting in the 1990s, the theory identified five factors by labels, for the US English population, typically referred to as: openness to experience (inventive/curious vs. consistent/cautious) conscientiousness (efficient/organized vs. extravagant/careless) extraversion (outgoing/energetic vs. solitary/reserved) agreeableness (friendly/compassionate vs.

Personality

Personality is a structure gathering interrelated behavioral, cognitive and emotional patterns that biological and environmental factors influence; these interrelated patterns are relatively stable over time periods, but they change over the entire lifetime. While there is no generally agreed-upon definition of personality, most theories focus on motivation and psychological interactions with the environment one is surrounded by. Trait-based personality theories, such as those defined by Raymond Cattell, define personality as traits that predict an individual's behavior.
