Abstract
In this brief manuscript, I’ve attempted to introduce the field of computational personality analysis from a broad theoretical and critical perspective and by presenting several case studies and my knowledge and experience. It is clear that this field is taking its first steps and that it should make further steps in order to study human personality as a complex phenomenon through computational tools.

This process of abstraction may be modeled using a variety of mathematical tools such as the hypergraph, which is a generalization of a graph in which an edge can connect several vertices. If an edge represents certain semantic relations between entities, we may group and abstract vertices connected by the same edge.
