Recent studies showed that this is quite a difficult task, especially on commonly used Twitter data. Obtaining MBTI labels is also difficult, as human annotation requires trained psychologists, and automatic way of obtaining themis through long questionnaires of questionable usability for the task. In this paper, we present a method for collecting reliable MBTI labels via only four carefully selected questions that can be applied to any type of textual data.  \n1 Introduction  \nThe Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) model (Briggs-Myers and Myers, 1995) is one of the most widely used non-clinical psychometric models (ˇStajner and Yenikent, 2020) . It classifies people into two groups across four dimensions: extraversion/introversion (E/I), sensing/intuition (S/N), thinking/feeling (T/F), and judgement/perception (J/P) . This leads to a total of 16 personality types. The first three dimensions are based on the theoretical work of Carl Jung (1921), while the fourth dimension was added later by Myers and BriggsMyers (1995) . The MBTI personality framework has already been used for decades in educational and industry settings, e.g. for finding jobs that best resonate with the person's preferences for information processing (S/N and T/F dimensions), finding work organization types that best resonate with the person's preferred judgement processes (J/P dimension) thus leading to better job satisfaction, and for better matching work environments with the person's preferences (E/I dimension) to lower employee turnover (Briggs-Myers and Myers, 1995) .  \nThe original MBTI questionnaire contains 93 questions and is not freely available.1 Due to the  \n1[https://www.myersbriggs.org/using-type-as-a-](https://www.myersbriggs.org/using-type-as-a-)  \npopularity of MBTI framework (it is estimated that more than 2 million US adults complete the inventory every year),2 there is a number of freely available alternative MBTI questionnaires on the internet, with the 16personalities test3 being one of the most popular ones. According to the Myers-Briggs Foundation4 and the 16personality test website,5 both questionnaires satisfy the accepted standards for test validity and reliability. Nevertheless, the MBTI questionnaires have received a noticeable criticism from the academic community (Pittenger, 1993 ; Boyle, 1995) for not relying on a scientifically proven ([i.e. data-driven](i.e. data-driven)) background, but rather on qualitative measures such as observation and introspection. The other common criticism is the binary nature of the questionnaire as it is known that the majority of people usually lies somewhere in the middle of the scales (Pittenger, 1993) .  \nThe questionnaire-based personality detection has several weaknesses: it requires trained human assessors; it is prone to social desirability bias (Krumpal, 2011) and reference-group effect (Heine et al., 2002); it is questionable if answering questionnaires is a natural way of showing ones personality (as opposed to free writing or behaviour“when nobody watches”) . To detect MBTI typologies in a more natural way and without necessity for trained human assessors, many studies have attempted at building systems for automatic detection of MBTI personality types from text in the last several years. Attempts have been made for automatic detection of MBTI personality types from: tweets written in English (Plank and Hovy, 2015), six other Western European languages (Ver-  \nprofessional/versions-of-the-mbti-questionnaire/ 2[https://www.verywellmind.com/the-myers-briggs-type](https:","cbCaifQ2wWB2aBfb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifQ2wWB2aBfb","pdf",520588,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## MBTI model and its dimensions\n## Questionnaire limitations and criticisms\n## Challenges in automatic MBTI detection from text\n## Related work and dataset-specific issues","[{\"question\":\"Why is obtaining MBTI labels from texts difficult?\",\"answer\":\"MBTI labels are hard to obtain because human annotation typically needs trained psychologists, while traditional MBTI questionnaires are long and have usability concerns for this task.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the paper propose to collect reliable MBTI labels?\",\"answer\":\"The paper presents a method that collects reliable MBTI labels using only four carefully selected questions that can be applied to different kinds of textual data.\"},{\"question\":\"What weaknesses exist in questionnaire-based personality detection?\",\"answer\":\"Questionnaire-based detection requires trained assessors and can be affected by biases such as social desirability and reference-group effects, and it may not reflect natural personality expression.\"}]","How to Obtain Reliable Labels for MBTI Classification from Texts - Research Method and Annotation via Four Questions | PDF",1789660537,23]
