In modern psychology there are five dimensions of personality — extroversion, the ability to compromise, conscientiousness, emotional instability and openness to knowledge and new experience. Of these traits formed three types of personality — people who are very self-controlled, people are not able to control myself, and people with steady mentality. The analysis of big data helped the researchers to expand these categories.
Artificial intelligence researched data of questionnaires and questionnaires of more than half a million people around the world, information was collected for tens of years. Initially, the computer has identified 16 categories of personality, however, scientists have refined parameters and the number of types was reduced to four “typical”, “vicious” man, “egocentric” and “role model”.
“Typical” person characterizes the openness and high degree of extroversion, but low openness to new experiences. According to the researchers, women in this category more than men.
