The effect is stronger when large groups of like-minded people are present. In this paper, we analyze do personality types, according to the MBTI theory, affect various national indexes, such as the Human Development Index (HDI), GDP per capita, Gay Happiness Index (GHI), religiosity, democracy index, etc. This is done by using four different classifiers that try to classify a country in every index provided. A few other datasets, such asthe population in 1998 and surface area of a country, are used as reference points of classifiers with low classification rates. Results show that classification is possible using the national personality profile. The highest classification rates are connected with the GHI and average IQ of a country, while the lowest is scored with the reference datasets and the military budget per capita index.  \nKeywords—data mining, classification, 16personalities, MyersBriggs Type Indicator (MBTI), democracy index, GDP index, religiosity index, Human Development Index (HDI), GDP per capita, Gay Happiness Index (GHI), Global Peace Index (GPI)  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nPeople have always attempted to describe and categorize themselves in many ways. From the four temperaments of the Ancient civilizations – sanguine, choleric, melancholic and phlegmatic – to the latest advances in psychology, people have been restless in their pursuit of a reliable way to fit the complex human personality into a well-described model. Eventhough the current models can predict with a solid degree of confidence how people are likely to behave in specific situation, it is important to mention that, besides the personality, our actions are also influenced by the environment, experience, and individual goals.  \nThe father of analytical psychology, Carl Gustav Jung, developed the theory of psychological types, which states in the 1920s was used to develop the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) [1] . MBTI has become as one of the most popular personality indicators used today. According to the MBTI, the four possible pairs of personality traits are:  \n• Introversion (I) or Extraversion (E)  \n• Intuition (N) or Sensing (S)  \n• Thinking (T) or Feeling (F)  \n• Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)  \nThe theory of 16Personalities has introduced the fifth pair (Identity) of personality traits, Assertive (-A) or Turbulent ( -T), the aspect that underlies all others, showing how confident people are in their abilities and decisions.  \nBased on the test results of more than 54 million people worldwide, the distribution of personality types by each country is determined. This data is publicly available on the 16Personalities website, in the Country Profiles subpage. On the other hand, based on the world statistics research conducted, several social indexes are assigned to each country, including Democracy Index, GDP Index, Human Development Index, and Religiosity Index. In this paper, the percentage presence of 32 different personality types is used to classify countries in different classes with respect to eight different indexes, and it examines whether the personality types distribution has effect on the democracy, human development, religiosity, and GDP status of a country.  \nThe organization of the paper is as follows: section 2 provides a description of data and prediction models used, section 3 the experimental results obtaine","cbCain6fRlEmIWGM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCain6fRlEmIWGM","pdf",461288,5,"English","# Introduction\n# Research Method\n## Data","[{\"question\":\"What is the main research question of the paper?\",\"answer\":\"Whether national personality profiles, based on MBTI-derived types, affect various national indexes such as HDI, GDP per capita, and GHI.\"},{\"question\":\"How is personality data for each country obtained?\",\"answer\":\"Personality type distributions are taken from the 16Personalities website country profiles, using 32 personality-type attributes across 124 countries.\"},{\"question\":\"What models are used to analyze the relationship between personality profiles and indexes?\",\"answer\":\"The paper uses four different classifiers to classify a country for each provided index, and it compares performance using reference datasets with low classification rates.\"}]","Using classification to determine whether personality profiles of countries affect various national indexes | PDF",13,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":99},[100,104,108,112,116,121,126,129,133,136,140],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":92,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":113,"show_sort_weight":114,"slug":115},"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":117,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":118,"show_sort_weight":119,"slug":120},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":122,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":123,"show_sort_weight":124,"slug":125},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":86,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":127,"slug":128},30,"research-report",{"id":55,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":130,"show_sort_weight":131,"slug":132},"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":134,"show_sort_weight":131,"slug":135},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":137,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":138,"show_sort_weight":137,"slug":139},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":141,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":142,"show_sort_weight":92,"slug":143},19,"General","general"]
