Extending Five Factor model to Chatbot Personality

When it comes to human personalities, I relate to the five personality traits theory aka five factor model (FFM). I will not go too detail into this as this blog is more focused on how this model can be extended to defining/designing chatbot personality.

The Five factor model defines the taxonomy for personality traitsby using the below five factors as listed below –

• Openness to experience
  – defined by the degree of curiosity, creativity and preference for novelty and variety involved. It is also described as the extent to which a person is imaginative or independent and depicts a personal preference for a variety of activities over a strict routine.
• Conscientiousness– defined by the degree of efficient and organized. This is usually reflected by the planned vs spontaneous behaviors. In other words, low conscientiousness means more flexibility and spontaneity but can also appear low reliability.
• Extraversion– defined by the degree of outgoing and energetic. This is usually reflected by more positive emotions, assertiveness and sociability.
• Agreeableness
  – defined by the degree of friendly and compassionate.This is usually reflected by the measure of trust, helpful and even the level of submissiveness. Low agreeableness also seen as most often competitive/challenging and as argumentative.
• Neuroticism– defined by the degree of sensitiveness, emotional stability and impulse control. Higher neuroticism is viewed as more unstable, and insecure.
