Personality Types Revisited – a Literature-Informed and Data-Driven Approach to an Integration of Prototypical and Dimensional Constructs of Personality Description

Abstract: A new algorithmic approach to personality prototyping based on Big Five traits was applied to a large representative German dataset longitudinally including behavior, personality and health correlates. We applied latent profile analysis, the Ward/ k-means method, and spectral clustering algorithms. The results of the prototyping were evaluated using a large number of internal and external validity criteria including health, locus of control, self-esteem, impulsivity, risk-taking and wellbeing. The best-fitting… Show more

“…We found among internalizers a greater prevalence of an unfavourable or dysfunctional coping style (emotional and avoidant), which makes plausible the claim that the effort to focus on the emotion and to avoid the threatening situation that overflows the personal balance can be an explanatory mechanism for the association between internalizing personality type and perceived disturbance. This finding is in line with those of Gómez et al (2002), Gross et al (1998) and Uziel (2006) regarding the information processing biases typical of those who score high in neuroticism, and also in line with the typology of overcontrollers (Kerber, Roth and Herzberg, 2021).…”

“…Person-culture personality (PCP) fit was operationally defined as the similarity between each participant's personality profile and the average personality profile for the country in which they resided. We used cluster analysis, calculated based on average Euclidean distance (Gerlach et al, 2018;Kerber, Roth, & Herzberg, 2021) to quantify the similarity between each participant's personality profile and the average country-level personality profile. The average Euclidean distance between personality profiles was calculated using the following formula:…”
