Why profiling personas

- CSI and Criminal Minds

- Glass Bead Game ”language to play with content of culture”

- Jung ”Archetypes” and idea of ”Individuation”

What to profile

• Think

• Feel

• Behave

(as we have seen in the definition of personality)• Values? • Expectations? • Decision and Thinking

Patterns? • Argument Styles? • Ways of Resolving

Conflicts?

Personality theories

• In type theory is a representation of a particular pattern of basic elements. Special attention is devoted to what the individuals have in common.

• In trait theory it is a compendium of traits or characteristic ways of behaving, thinking and feeling. The focus here is on the differences between individuals.

• These two theories, as the two sides of the same coin, are interchangeable and integrated with each other.

• I Ching• Zodiac• Even Bigger 3• Eysenck • Strelau • Freud • Plato • Galen • Wundt• Types of fun (Lazzaro)

• Descriptive: concern is with finding the

regularities in behavior rather than explaining them

A Taxonomy of Personality Tests

• Objective: Objective personality tests are usually

self-report inventories. Self-report inventories are paper-and-pen tests that require people to answer questions about their typical behavior.

• The MMPI-2The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory was originally

developed to help psychologists diagnose psychological disorders. To interpret the MMPI-2, psychologists divide the answers to questions into fourteen subscales. Ten of these subscales give information about different aspects of the test taker’s personality. The other four subscales are validity subscales, which indicate whether the test taker was careless or deceptive when answering questions. A score on any single subscale doesn’t provide a clear indication of a specific psychological disorder. Rather, the score profile, or pattern of responses across subscales, indicates specific psychological disorders.

• The 16PF The Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF) is a test that

assesses sixteen basic dimensions of personality. It consists of a list of 187 questions.

• NEO The NEO Personality Inventory measures the Big Five traits:

extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism.

• Projective: Projective personality tests

require subjects to respond to ambiguous stimuli, such as pictures and phrases, that can be interpreted in many different ways. Projective tests are based on the projective hypothesis, which is the idea that people interpret ambiguous stimuli in ways that reveal their concerns, needs, conflicts, desires, and feelings. .

• The Rorschach Test TATThe Rorschach test consists of a series of ten inkblots.

Psychologists ask subjects to look at the inkblots and describe what they see, and the psychologists then use complex scoring systems to interpret the subjects’ responses. Scores are based on various characteristics of responses, such as the originality of the response and the area of the blot described in the response. The Rorschach gives psychologists information about the subject’s personality traits and the situational stresses the subject may be experiencing.

• TAT The Thematic Apperception Test consists of a series of pictures

containing a variety of characters and scenes. Psychologists ask subjects to make up stories about each picture and look for themes that run through the subjects’ responses. For example, a person with a high need for achievement may consistently come up with stories that have achievement-related themes.

Kabbalah• It involves manipulation and permutation of the Hebrew

language. What it brings about, in Abulafia's accounts, is often a kind of stream of free association which plays within the concepts and words being permuted.

• Central to Kabbalah is an emanationist theology whereby  God is said to manifest or reveal Himself in the form of ten archetypal attributes or characteristics, "spheres" or "regions", the  ten Sefirot. 

• God in His essence, as the  En Sof or "infinite", is unknowable.  It is only through the Sefirot that God becomes knowable.  Yet the Sefirot, the attributes of God, the ten essences that refer to the ten aspects of the Divine Personality, are still one with, and inseparable from, the En Sof or essence of God.  They should not be thought of as mediating stages between the Absolute and Creation, but rather as phases of manifestation of and in Divinity itself; equivalent to the Christian triune or three-in-one God.

Carl Gustav Jung

• According to Jung's theory of Psychological Types we are all different in fundamental ways. One's ability to process different information is limited by their particular type. These types are sixteen.

People can be either Extroverts or Introverts, depending on the direction of their activity; Thinking, Feeling, Sensing, Intuitive, according to their own information pathways; Judging or Perceiving, depending on the method in which they process received information.

Carl Gustav Jung• Extroverts vs. Introverts

Extroverts are directed towards the objective world whereas Introverts are directed towards the subjective world. The most common differences between Extroverts and Introverts are shown below:

Extroverts(E)

• say what they think

• are interested in new people

• easily break unwanted relations

Introverts(I)

• are interested in their own thoughts and feelings

• need to have own territory

• often appear reserved, quiet and thoughtful

• usually do not have many friends

• have difficulties in making new contacts

• like concentration and quiet

• do not like unexpected visits and therefore do not make them

• work well alone

Carl Gustav Jung• Sensing vs. Intuition

Sensing is an ability to deal with information on the basis of its physical qualities and its affection by other information. Intuition is an ability to deal with the information on the basis of its hidden potential and its possible existence. The most common differences between Sensing and Intuitive types are shown below:

Sensing types(S)

• see everyone and sense everything

• live in the here and now

• quickly adapt to any situation

• worry about the future more than the present

• are interested in everything new and unusual

• do not like routine

• are attracted more to the theory than the practice

• often have doubts

Carl Gustav Jung• Thinking vs. Feeling

Thinking is an ability to deal with information on the basis of its structure and its function. Feeling is an ability to deal with information on the basis of its initial energetic condition and its interactions. The most common differences between Thinking and Feeling type are shown below:

Thinking types(T)

• are interested in systems, structures, patterns

• expose everything to logical analysis

• are relatively cold and unemotional

• evaluate things by intellect and right or wrong

• have difficulties talking about feelings

• do not like to clear up arguments or quarrels

Feeling types(F)

• are interested in people and their feelings

• easily pass their own moods to others

• pay great attention to love and passion

• evaluate things by ethics and good or bad

• can be touchy or use emotional manipulation

• often give compliments to please people

Carl Gustav Jung• Perceiving vs. Judging

Perceiving types are motivated into activity by the changes in a situation. Judging types are motivated into activity by their decisions resulting from the changes in a situation. The most common differences between Perceiving and Judging types are shown below:

Perceiving types(P)

• act impulsively following the situation

• can start many things at once without finishing them properly

• prefer to have freedom from obligations

• are curious and like a fresh look at things

• work productivity depends on their mood

• often act without any preparation

Judging types(J)

• do not like to leave unanswered questions

• plan work ahead and tend to finish it

• do not like to change their decisions

• have relatively stable workability

• easily follow rules and discipline

MBTI

• The Myers Briggs Type Indicator instrument is a questionnaire based on the Myers Briggs model of personality.

• The Myers Briggs model of personality identifies your preferences, which are analogous to handedness. You have two hands. You use them both. But most people are either "right handed" or "left handed". That is, they have a natural inclination or preference for one hand.

• The Myers Briggs model of personality is based on four preferences (E or I, S or N, T or F and J or P). You combine the preferences to give your Myers Briggs personality type. Eg: having preferences for E and S and T and J gives a personality type of ESTJ. There are sixteen Myers Briggs personality types.

• You have a preference for one hand but use them both. Similarly, you have many facets to your Myers Briggs personality, prefer some but use all of them.

ARTISAN SPs, being CONCRETE in communicating and UTILITARIAN in implementing goals, can become highly skilled in TACTICAL VARIATION. Thus their most practiced and developed intelligent operations are usually promoting and operating (SPT expediting), or displaying and composing (SPF improvizing).

This is the "Sensation Seeking Personality" -- trusting in spontaniety and hungering for impact on others. They are usually hedonic about the present, optimistic about the future, cynical about the past, and their preferred time and place is the here and now. Educationally they go for arts and crafts, avocationally for techniques, and vocationally for operations work. They tend to be permissive as parents, playmates as spouses, and play oriented as children. There are many Artisans to be found in many places where the action is, at least 35% and as many as 40% of the population.

Keirsey Temperament Sorter

GUARDIAN SJs, being CONCRETE in communicating and COOPERATIVE in implementing goals, can become highly skilled in LOGISTICS. Thus their most practiced and developed intelligent operations are often supervising and inspecting (SJT adminstering), or supplying and protecting (SJF conserving).

Educationally they go for commerce, avocationally for regulations, and vocationally for materiel work. They tend to be enculturating as parents, helpmates as spouses, and conformity oriented as children. There are even more Guardians than Artisans around, at least 40% and as many as 45% of the population.

Keirsey Temperament Sorter

• IDEALIST NFs, being ABSTRACT in communicating and COOPERATIVE in implementing goals, can become highly skilled in DIPLOMATIC INTEGRATION. Thus their most practiced and developed intelligent operations are usually teaching and counseling (NFJ mentoring), or conferring and tutoring (NFP advocating). And they would if they could be sages in one of these forms of social development. The Idealist temperament have an instinct for interpersonal integration, learn ethics with ever increasing zeal, sometimes become diplomatic leaders, and often speak interpretively and metaphorically of the abstract world of their imagination.

• They are proud of themselves in the degree they are empathic in action, respect themselves in the degree they are benevolent, and feel confident of themselves in the degree they are authentic. Idealist types search for their unique identity, hunger for deep and meaningful relationships, wish for a little romance each day, trust their intuitive feelings implicitly, aspire for profundity. This is the "Identity Seeking Personality" -- credulous about the future, mystical about the past, and their preferred time and place are the future and the pathway. Educationally they go for the humanities, avocationally for ethics, and vocationally for personnel work.

• Social relationships: In their family interactions they strive for mutuality, provide spiritual intimacy for the mates, opportunity for fantasy for their children, and for themselves continuous self-renewal. Idealists do not abound, being as few as 8% and nor more than 10% of the population.

Keirsey Temperament Sorter

• RATIONAL NTs, being ABSTRACT in communicating and UTILITARIAN in implementing goals, can become highly skilled in STRATEGIC ANALYSIS. Thus their most practiced and developed intelligent operations tend to be marshalling and planning (NTJ organizing), or inventing and configuring (NTP engineering). And they would if they could be wizards in one of these forms of rational operation. They are proud of themselves in the degree they are competent in action, respect themselves in the degree they are autonomous, and feel confident of themselves in the degree they are strong willed. Ever in search of knowledge, this is the "Knowledge Seeking Personality" -- trusting in reason and hungering for achievement. They are usually pragmatic about the present, skeptical about the future, solipsistic about the past, and their preferred time and place are the interval and the intersection. Educationally they go for the sciences, avocationally for technology, and vocationally for systems work. Rationals tend to be individualizing as parents, mindmates as spouses, and learning oriented as children. Rationals are very infrequent, comprising as few as 5% and no more than 7% of the population.

They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions & who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything. They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.
