ANIMUS
Overview
ANIMUS explores a new model for psychological evaluation and profiling.
Goals
A high-dimensional model for psychological profiling and visualisation through methods of pyschological data encoding.
Current State
Frameworks
- OCEAN psychology framework — Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism. A base model for representing psychological data.
- LIWC psycholinguistic dictionary — Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count. A linguistic encoding model used to process raw text and assign psychological trait weighting.
The plan is to bridge the gap between LIWC text processing and a custom OCEAN data representation.
Use myself as Case_0 and leverage the existing data I have (Journal entries +), as well as developing new data collection methods (i.e. Conversational Agent Entries) to fomrulate ANIMUS_0 (Me).
