Project Overview:
1. Big Five Personality Traits Framework:
o Openness: Creativity, curiosity, imagination.
o Conscientiousness: Organization, reliability, and attention to detail.
o Extraversion: Sociability, assertiveness, and energy.
o Agreeableness: Trust, kindness, and teamwork.
o Neuroticism: Emotional stability and resilience.
2. How It Works:
o Input: Candidates open-ended responses (e.g., "Describe a situation where you
solved a problem").
o Processing: Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms analyze these
responses to detect patterns and words that indicate personality traits.
o Output:
Big Five Personality Traits scores (0-100%) for each trait.
A generated personality report with job role recommendations.
Steps to Implement the Project:
1. Data Collection
Collect a dataset of open-ended questions (e.g., Kaggle dataset linked above or create your own
survey).
Questions examples:
o "Describe how you manage stress at work?"
o "What motivates you to excel in your career?"
o "How do you handle conflicts in a team?"
2. Text Preprocessing
Use Python libraries (like NLTK, SpaCy) for:
Tokenization: Split responses into words or phrases.
Lemmatization: Convert words to their base forms.
Stop Words Removal: Ignore irrelevant words (e.g., "is," "the").
3. Feature Extraction
Use TF-IDF or word embeddings (e.g., Word2Vec, BERT) to convert text into numerical features
for analysis.
Focus on key words/phrases that indicate specific traits (e.g., "team player" -> Agreeableness,
"punctual" -> Conscientiousness).
4. Trait Prediction Model
Train a machine learning model using labeled data (where responses are already linked to Big
Five traits).
Models to consider:
o Logistic Regression, SVM, Random Forest (for basic models).
o Deep learning models like LSTMs or Transformers (e.g., BERT) for better accuracy in text
analysis.
5. Personality Scoring Algorithm
After training, use the model to assign a score (0-100%) for each Big Five trait based on the
candidate's responses.
6. Report Generation
Generate a detailed personality report:
o Include scores for each trait (e.g., "Conscientiousness: 85%").
o Provide textual insights like "Candidate is highly organized and detail-oriented, suitable
for managerial roles."
7. Job Role Recommendation
Map personality traits to job roles. For example:
o High Openness -> Creative fields (e.g., marketing, design).
o High Conscientiousness -> Structured roles (e.g., accounting, project management).
o High Extraversion -> Sales, public relations.
