Taking Care of the Linguistic Features of Extraversion

چکیده
We study how Extraversion or Introversion influences people’s language production. A corpus of e-mail texts was gathered from individuals categorised via Eysenck’s EPQ-R personality test. One experiment analysed the corpus using existing content analysis tools, and found relatively weak effects of Extraversion. A second experiment used more sensitive bigram-based techniques from statistical natural language processing to replicate earlier findings, and uncover novel patterns of behaviour.

To what extent does the wording and syntactic form of people’s writing reflect their personalities?
