Abstract

Sandra Matz, Yin Wah Fiona Chan, and Michael Kosinsky survey models of personality. They cover a wide range of personality models including the most popular Five Factor Model (FFM). The authors stress the importance of the underlying assumptions, which lead to each model. The discussion includes also the relationships between the models and the suitability of the models for automatic detection of personality through digital footprints.
