More Personality! (IBM Watson thing)

Salutations.

Someone made the MBTI topic a while back, and I remembered this lil' setup. Basically, you paste words from speeches, or whatever written text you have, and this program sniffs through word choice and spits out some personality things.

I ran my IRC messages through IBM Watson Personality Insights and got an interesting result.

That seems to match me pretty well, except for the personality quirks that I insert under the guise of anonymity in the forums. Anyone else care to post their "insight"? link again I'm curious to know of others' findings. Are they "accurate"?

edit: disclaimer: I ran the entire IRC through and got a similar result. Perhaps this is baloney?

I put in a Hitler speech (this one, to be exact, minus the headers).

Re: More Personality! (IBM Watson thing)

For those curious about choosing their body of text:
Compare my above IRC pull to my Forum Posts from the past 1/2 year or so

You are a bit inconsiderate, somewhat critical and guarded.

You are unconcerned with art: you are less concerned with artistic or creative activities than most people who participated in our surveys. You are intermittent: you have a hard time sticking with difficult tasks for a long period of time. And you are proud: you hold yourself in high regard, satisfied with who you are.

You are motivated to seek out experiences that provide a strong feeling of efficiency.

You consider helping others to guide a large part of what you do: you think it is important to take care of the people around you. You are relatively unconcerned with tradition: you care more about making your own path than following what others have done.

So apparently I'm more guarded on the forums, more helpful, and more proud.

edit:

i dont have any large collections of text to run through this

619 posts' worth of text...

edit 2: I punched in my research paper, which is probably my best bet for getting reliable sentence structure.

You are shrewd and skeptical.

You are philosophical: you are open to and intrigued by new ideas and love to explore them. You are imaginative: you have a wild imagination. And you are unstructured: you do not make a lot of time for organization in your daily life.

You are motivated to seek out experiences that provide a strong feeling of organization.

You are relatively unconcerned with tradition: you care more about making your own path than following what others have done. You consider achieving success to guide a large part of what you do: you seek out opportunities to improve yourself and demonstrate that you are a capable person.

So now I'm shrewd, skeptical, philosophical, imaginative, unstructured, and motivated.

Re: More Personality! (IBM Watson thing)

IRC vs forum posts.

IRC:

You are a bit inconsiderate, skeptical and guarded.

You are unconcerned with art: you are less concerned with artistic or creative activities than most people who participated in our surveys. You are self-focused: you are more concerned with taking care of yourself than taking time for others. And you are laid-back: you appreciate a relaxed pace in life.

You are motivated to seek out experiences that provide a strong feeling of discovery.

You consider achieving success to guide a large part of what you do: you seek out opportunities to improve yourself and demonstrate that you are a capable person. You don't find helping others to be particularly motivating for you: you think people can handle their own business without interference.

You are likely to______
* Put health at risk
* Change careers

You are unlikely to______
* Buy eco-friendly
* Adapt to situations
* Buy healthy foods

Forums:

You are a bit indirect.

You are relatively unconcerned with helping others: you think people can handle their own business without interference. You value achieving success a bit more: you seek out opportunities to improve yourself and demonstrate that you are a capable person.

* Adapt to situations
* Buy healthy foods
* Re-share on social media

I took the liberty of dumping your posts into the thing using some code.

▼12345678908642's "read"

I also pecked out my entire forums stuff

▼ hummerz5's forums totally

OK I'm done running these stats. The last one was 87669 words.

▼but I want all my posts too!

I used a bookmark to run some code on my list of posts... each page. So, I went into the forum options and set my pagination to 1000 posts per page. The limit is 150, so I got 150. Each page, I ran the JS code, pasted that into the box, then ran it.

javascript:%20$("div.quotebox").remove();%20%20var%20elems%20=%20document.querySelectorAll(".postmsg");%20%20var%20words%20=%20"";%20for(var%20i%20=0;i<elems.length;i++){%20%20%20words%20+=%20"%20"%20+%20elems[i].textContent;%20}%20%20%20var%20r%20=%20prompt("go",%20words);

thanks

I didn't have anything that was very long to put in it, but I think it was kind of close.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=bookmarklet
basically, make a bookmark, edit the bookmark URL to the script, then run it while on the list of your posts (see profile), copypaste it into the thing, repeat on the next page.

Re: More Personality! (IBM Watson thing)

^A search through the logs.

Has anyone here actually received "You love all things art"? I wonder what sort of dialogue they expect. "I think the Mona Lisa is quite perfunctory in its neoclassicism of the renaissance era when compared to [etc]"? yes I know that was nonsense

As is with most personality questions, we're probably biased towards the EE-playing type, whatever that might be. In this case, we might get a better idea as to the general EE player then, I suppose.
