Personality is one factor that dictates people's propensity to trust and their relationships with others. In previous work, we have shown that personality can be predicted relatively accurately by analyzing social media profiles. We demonstrated this using public data from facebook profiles and text from Twitter streams. As social situations are crucial in the formation of one's personality, one's…

This article reviews various studies reported in literature toward identification of personality using online social networks and suggests that the online social networking websites are, in fact, a relevant and valid means of communicating personality.
Personality Predictions Based on User Behavior on the Facebook Social Media Platform
TLDR
The goal of this paper is to investigate the predictability of the personality traits of Facebook users based on different features and measures of the Big 5 model, and examines the presence of structures of social networks and linguistic features relative to personality interactions using the myPersonality project data set.
Personality Prediction with Social Behavior by Analyzing Social Media Data – A Survey
TLDR
This survey aims at providing researchers with an overview of various strategies used for studies and research concentrating on predicting user personality and behavior using online social networking site content.
A user's personality prediction approach by mining network interaction behaviors on Facebook
TLDR
The dominance, inducement, submission, and compliance (DISC) theory was used to determine personality types and this research developed an approach for automatically predicting the personality types of network users based on their Facebook interactions.
Identifying and validating personality traits-based homophilies for an egocentric network
TLDR

TLDR
It is found that conscientiousness, agreeableness and extraversion were homophilous: people with higher similarity on these facets were more strongly connected and supported the idea that inherent attraction between individuals, on the basis of personality, drives the roles the authors play within their online social networks.
My Tweets Bring All the Traits to the Yard: Predicting Personality and Relational Traits in Online Social Networks

TLDR
It is argued that being able to predict user personality goes well beyond the initial goal of informing the design of new personalized applications as it, for example, expands current studies on privacy in social media.
Actions speak as loud as words: predicting relationships from social behavior data
TLDR
A new genre of behavioral features that are able to capture the "function" of a specific relationship without the help of textual features is presented, based on the statistical properties of communication patterns between individuals such as reciprocity, assortativity, attention and latency.
