> What's the right way to understand and model personality? With data. Personality is a union of speech, writing, facial expression and body language. Until all of the nuances of these factors are measured across a diverse population in a unified dataset, our models will be primitive. The hardest part of collecting this data is that you want it in up-close and personal day-to-day interactions, from the vantage point of other humans. So the first requisite is discrete and high-res body cameras, but then the real challenge is how to make this type of study double-blind. (How to place the cameras without people knowing they’re wearing them). The models will flow from the data.
