Abstract

This paper proposes a model for analyzing personality data. The model involves three levels of data analysis of personality data. Level I uses observations. Level II describes the level I statements with concepts, trait adjectives, or summaries. Level III is a word picture which takes the level II abstractions and creates a personality portrait or generalized description of a person.
