I am detecting psychology traits from a very large set of text and so far, I am able to extract the big 5 personality traits(extraversion, agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism). Therefore, I am trying to extract extra traits from the text, such as self-esteem (texts about romantic partners) trait and narcissists(texts about personal achievement).
So I am trying now to come up with new traits from the texts such as sense of purpose (https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/out-the-darkness/201307/the-power-purpose), is there any way to extract this feature? Also, is there any personality traits you can propose to include
PS: any recommendation for extracting new personality traits will be highly appreciated :)
Hello,
You may wish to look into the work of Lee and Ashton who have developed the HEXACO model that incorporates a sixth dimension, honesty-humility.
Lee, K., & Ashton, M. C. (2004). Psychometric properties of the HEXACO personality inventory. Multivariate behavioral research, 39(2), 329-358.
Lee, K., & Ashton, M. C. (2006). Further assessment of the HEXACO Personality Inventory: two new facet scales and an observer report form. Psychological assessment, 18(2), 182.
Good luck with your work.
@Adelheid Thank you for your input. For me, this is the first time I hear about such a model with the sixth dimension. Sure, I will consider it.
Can you please point where I can find an e-dictionary or e-library that categorize a collection of keywords with their assigned trait for HEXACO mode ?
Hello again,
you will find the scale on the internet (along with translated versions)...

I know the relevance of searching about psychollogical traits. It¨s one of great tradition in ps. history. However i think that effort shuold be complemented with a factorial or combinated focus. It´s more complex but more realistic. Both purposes may hve more succes in academic and professinal area.
Have a good day!
Henry
