Abstract

The Myers–Briggs Personality Type Indicator (MBTI) is used to identify people’s personalities using a questionnaire, which takes a long time and effort. Due to the abundance of data about a person present in social networks, finding their type utilizing this data will yield better results. By using machine learning techniques, this data can be used to identify various aspects of a person’s personality. The MBTI dataset from Kaggle was used for building the model. The naive Bayes technique is adapted for making the classification model that gives a person’s MBTI type. Synthetic Minority Over-Sampling Technique (SMOTE) and random under-sampling are used to sample the data to attain a balance. The hundred recent tweets of the user are scraped, preprocessed, and applied to the model, which gives their MBTI type and its description.
