Abstract
PurposeThe purposes of this paper are to (1) explore how personality traits pertaining to the dominance influence steadiness compliance model manifest themselves in terms of user interaction behavior on social media and (2) examine whether social interaction data on social media platforms can predict user personality.Design/methodology/approachSocial interaction data was collected from 198 users of Sina Weibo, a popular social media platform in China. Their personality traits were also measured via questionnaire. Machine learning techniques were applied to predict the personality traits based on the social interaction data.FindingsThe results demonstrated that the proposed classifiers had high prediction accuracy, indicating that our approach is reliable and can be used with social interaction data on social media platforms to predict user personality. “Reposting,” “being reposted,” “commenting” and “being commented on” were found to be the key interaction features that reflected Weibo users' personalities, whereas “liking” was not found to be a key feature.Originality/valueThe findings of this study are expected to enrich personality prediction research based on social media data and to provide insights into the potential of employing social media data for the purpose of personality prediction in the context of the Weibo social media platform in China.

Abstract
Enterprises need to obtain information about not only specific customer preferences, but also, more importantly, customers' psychological characteristics that significantly influence their consumption behaviors and response to intelligent-based marketing activities. If enterprises want to implement more precise intelligent selling activities for customers, customers' personality information will serve as a highly valued reference. The automatic detection method proposed in this study is based on techniques such as text semantic mining and machine learning to conduct personality type prediction on the target by collecting and analyzing the target's social media data. In the test, 5,858 statuses were obtained, 815 of which were labeled, with 122 effective tags. In general, when n = 5, the labeling rate can reach 60-80%. The status property classifier (SPC) proposed in this study can predict the personality type (PT) of the user publishing the status set with a high degree of accuracy by conducting text semantic mining on the status set.
