What is Your Personality Type?. Do You Know?

A research was carried out at Northwestern University on Nature of Human Behavior. The research was carried out under the leadership of  Luis A.N Amaral. In this research, he has modeled four types of personalities found in the human behavior. What are those? Check under which category you are falling in?

Based on the research paper inputs, I tried to create a picture of four different types of personalities determined related to human behavior. To make it more understanding, I added some of the common traits against each personality type. 

This is not the first time that such papers were released. However, the study was based on a very small group of people and always remained controversial. In this study, the group size is too big. Whooping 1.5 Million survey responses were analyzed on 4 personality types and 5 character traits. 

Below personality types were categorized based on 5 character traits. 

• Role Model
• Reserved
• Self Centered
• Average

5 different character traits used to determine the above personalities are.

• Neuroticism: Frequently having negative emotions. 
• Extraversion: Talkative with dominance style.
• Openness: Appreciate others with open thoughts
• Agreeableness: Tendency to agree and go with others. 
• Conscientiousness: Careful, Punctual, Hard Working and Follow the Rules.
