"Can AI Accurately Predict Your MBTI Type? Exploring NLP & Machine Learning"

๐Ÿ” AI-Powered MBTI: Analyzing Personality with Machine Learning
๐Ÿš€ Exploring Personality Through AI

In recent years, AI and psychology have started converging in fascinating ways. One area Iโ€™ve been exploring is using machine learning to analyze and predict MBTI personality types based on data-driven insights.

As someone passionate about algorithms, data, and AI, I wanted to see how well AI could classify MBTI types using text analysis, statistical models, and deep learning. This post dives into the methodology, challenges, and insights from my work.

๐Ÿ”ข How Does AI Predict Personality?
1๏ธโƒฃ Data Collection & Preprocessing
To train an AI to classify MBTI types, we need data from text samples, preferably from social media, blogs, or structured MBTI datasets.

Scraped public MBTI-labeled datasets (e.g., Reddit, Twitter, Kaggle datasets).
Preprocessed text (tokenization, stopword removal, lemmatization).
Vectorized data using TF-IDF and word embeddings (Word2Vec, BERT).
2๏ธโƒฃ Feature Engineering
To improve prediction accuracy, I experimented with various NLP features:
โœ… Sentence structure, lexical richness, and tone analysis
โœ… Use of introvert vs. extrovert language patterns
โœ… Semantic similarity clustering with Word2Vec & transformer models

3๏ธโƒฃ Model Selection & Training
I tested multiple machine learning and deep learning models:

๐Ÿ“Š Naรฏve Bayes & Logistic Regression โ€“ Quick baseline models.
๐Ÿค– Random Forest & SVM โ€“ Performed well for structured MBTI features.
๐Ÿง  BERT-based transformers โ€“ Provided deeper context understanding.
โœ… The best-performing model used BERT fine-tuning, achieving higher accuracy in distinguishing personality types from raw text.
