“…Another study by Daviet et al (2005) using the same questionnaire suggests that simulation of human behaviour continues to baffle both computers and human sciences. Multi-agent systems have already proved their efficiency to simulate complex interacting systems.…”

Aaron Wildavsky, the famous American political scientist was fond of saying that a theory should be judged not against an impossible standard of perfection but by how well it performs in comparison with rival theories (Grendstad and Selle 1997). The Taran Patel is Professor, Strategy and Management Department, Groupe ESC Rennes, 2, Rue Robert DArbrissel, Rennes 35065. France.This conceptual article explores different personality assessment tools like the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI) tool and the Five-Factor Model and compares them with a relatively new instrument called PerformanSe. We discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each of these instruments commonly used for personality assessment. If understanding and predicting behaviours of people is important to academic and practitioners alike, it is equally important that they understand the strengths and weaknesses of the different personality assessment tools available to them. Understanding the limitations of the tools available curbs their perfectionist impulse and encourages them to treat these tools with a critical eye. This understanding will not only prevent practitioners from taking wrong decisions in recruiting or promoting employees, but will also save them from legal disputes.same could be said about tools or instruments used for personality assessment. None of the personality assessment tools can claim to be perfect. Each comes with its own set of strengths and weaknesses. In this article we hope to cast a critical eye on the strengths and weaknesses of conventional and recent personality assessment tools so as to enable academics and practitioners to use the appropriate personality assessment instrument for the right purpose. We also hope to emphasize that blind reliance on these tools for vital recruitment and promotion might be erroneous.

Emotional agents - state of the art and applications

et al. 2015

last decade, intensive research on emotional intelligence has advanced significantly from its theoretical basis, analytical studies and processing technology to exploratory applications in a wide range of real-life domains. This paper brings new insights in the field of emotional, intelligent software agents. The first part is devoted to an overview of the state-of-the-art in emotional intelligence research with emphasis on emotional agents. A wide range of applications in different areas like modeling emotional agents, aspects of learning in emotional environments, interactive emotional systems and so on are presented. After that we suggest a systematic order of research steps with the idea of proposing an adequate framework for several possible real-life applications of emotional agents. We recognize that it is necessary to apply specific methods for dynamic data analysis in order to identify and discover new knowledge from available emotional information and data sets. The last part of the paper discusses research activities for designing an agent-based architecture, in which agents are capable of reasoning about and displaying some kind of emotions based on emotions detected in human speech, as well as online documents.
