Abstract

Personality refers to a person’s distinctive ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving in a variety of contexts. These traits are what consistently characterize a person’s behavior. It influences how we come to decisions, work through issues, resolves disputes, and handle stress. The Myers-Briggs type indicator is currently the most popular psychological type assessment in use worldwide. This dataset was obtained via Kaggle. It enables us to positively deal with people’s diversity by allowing us to anticipate certain personality traits in specific individuals. Many IT businesses are employing candidates with strong interpersonal communication abilities in today’s society. To measure these, we developed a method to determine their personality, which can help in decision-making. Using different machine learning approaches like SVM, DT, and LR, several past research has attempted to categorize people into different personality types. LSTM, a deep learning model, is now being used to help classify people’s personalities. In contrast to more conventional feedforward neural networks, LSTMs feature feedback connections. This property allows LSTMs to process entire data sequences without taking into account each point in the series individually, instead maintaining useful information about earlier data in the sequence to help in the processing of incoming data points to effectively classify the user texts. Finally, this supports the management, selection, and advancement of policies within organizations.
