Key result
Kinect camera movement analysis successfully assesses personality traits, best capturing extroversion and conscientiousness.
Why the study?
Traditional personality assessment scales and questionnaires have drawbacks including lack of veracity, repeat administration limits, and cultural biases, prompting the use of movement analysis as an objective predictor.
Does movement analysis using a Microsoft Kinect camera accurately assess personality traits in individuals?
Does movement analysis using a Microsoft Kinect camera accurately assess personality traits in individuals?
It is feasible to assess an individual's personality traits, particularly Extroversion and Conscientiousness, through automated movement analysis using a low-cost camera.

Hypothesis-generating for Kinect-based personality assessment in pilots; leaves open larger validation before research or clinical use.
Obtaining accurate and objective assessments of an individual's personality is vital in many areas including education, medicine, sports and management. Currently, most personality assessments are conducted using scales and questionnaires. Unfortunately, it has been observed that both scales and questionnaires present various drawbacks. Their limitations include the lack of veracity in the answers, limitations in the number of times they can be administered, or cultural biases. To solve these problems, several articles have been published in recent years proposing the use of movements that participants make during their evaluation as personality predictors. In this work, a multiple linear regression model was developed to assess the examinee's personality based on their movements. Movements were captured with the low-cost Microsoft Kinect camera, which facilitates its acceptance and implementation. To evaluate the performance of the proposed system, a pilot study was conducted aimed at assessing the personality traits defined by the Big-Five Personality Model. It was observed that the traits that best fit the model are Extroversion and Conscientiousness. In addition, several patterns that characterize the five personality traits were identified. These results show that it is feasible to assess an individual's personality through his or her movements and open up pathways for several research.

Delgado‐Gómez et al. (2022) studied Personality assessment. Movement analysis using Microsoft Kinect camera was evaluated on Personality traits defined by the Big-Five Personality Model. Movement analysis using a Microsoft Kinect camera and multiple linear regression successfully assessed personality traits, with Extroversion and Conscientiousness showing the best fit.
