[alicebot-general] Big Five personality traits

[Dr. Rich Wallace]

I use this model: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enneagram

I think you can debate the number (3, 4, 5, 9, 12, or 16) depending on
the theory, but it's great if you get the basic point, that there
exist other personality types besides your own.   Too many people
suffer from "BLM syndrome" ("Be Like Me") or "using themselves as a
proxy for others".  How many times have you heard, "I can't believe
so-and-so did that, I would *never* act that way."  Even people who
believe in astrology are better off than people who have BLM syndrome,
because at least they can accept that other people view and model the
world in different ways than themselves.

For bot building, personality types have at least two applications:
one is building a set of "stock" personalities that are easily
customized into individuals when combined with biographical data.  The
other is building personality tests into bots (like CLAUDIO) so that
the bot's personality can adapt to the client's type.

It remains an open question whether the "most compatible" bot should
be the same personality, or a "complimentary" one to the client, or
whether the client should have a "personality dial" on the bot.
