Our team at IBM Research – Australia
is currently looking for people who have tweeted at least 200 original public
tweets to complete a 20 minute questionnaire about interpreting data from
visualizations.
Research shows that people with high levels of Conscientiousness or low levels
of Neuroticism (from the Big 5 OCEAN
personality traits) tend to be faster learners than people with high levels
of Neuroticism or low levels of Conscientiousness. Our goal is to determine
whether there is a similar relationship between users’ personality types, and
their ability to interpret information presented in visualization graphs. This
will then allow systems such as Watson Analytics to
automatically select the best visualizations to suit the user's personality
type.
Please email our lead scientist Lida Ghahremanlou with your Twitter handle if
you are interested in participating. There are only a fixed number of spots for
the study, but if your handle is accepted, you will receive an email link to
the questionnaire.
