Personality Typo

Googling, I find there has been a little work on Social Media and Personality Typing.

But mostly it’s on using existing personality type models with an attempt to define people into categories by their social media use.

Here’s a new approach;

(a) Take a person’s complete social media (FB, Instagram, Linkedin, Periscope, Tweets, etc) input and consumption, and

(b) also take all the things that a person will do on the web, outside of social media, that can be automatically measured (such as purchasing, consuming information like wiki, and anything else).

(c) then use learning algorithms to look for patterns of relationships between (a) and (b)

We might find that there are groupings of links between the two and these might define new categories of personality types that are more discrete than the 19th and 20th century models that were thought up in an era before computers and when simplistic models were a necessity.
