Abstract: In this study, Deep Learning technologies are used to recognize personalities from CVs or resumes. The system for
automating the evaluation of candidates' overall qualifications throughout the recruiting process is presented in this work.
Based on the submitted CV or resume, which is assessed by an artificial intelligence algorithm, the system verifies the
professional skills. The list comprises of terms that are pertinent to the position and best align with the applicant's qualifications.
Recruiters may swiftly scan big candidate pools using the tool, which was created based on this study, to look for prospective job
matches. This system's key benefit is that it automates the appropriateness evaluation procedure, freeing recruiters to
concentrate on other crucial activities. Another benefit is that it gives applicant profiles to help employers and employees match
up for open positions. When reviewing a CV, for instance, if a candidate hasn't completed a personality test but has been hired
in the past successfully, the CV will automatically receive a score based on that evaluation.
Keywords: NLP, Big five model, Classifier, Machine-learning, personality prediction

I. INTRODUCTION
As a distinction in an individual's traits or behaviors of thinking, feeling, and acting, personality is defined. A person's personality
greatly affects their life and shapes the decisions they make. In the world of employment, picking the best applicant from among a
vast field of rivals is a crucial decision. The objective of this study is to anticipate a person's personality in a workplace setting for
academic recruiting. Traditional research and forecasts take a lot of consumers' time. In the recruiting process, an interview is
frequently followed by an aptitude test. These routine procedures take time and may result in the biased selection of job candidates.
It takes time to predict personality using psychometric tests and questionnaires. The proposed system conducts an electronic
aptitude test and personality assessment to predict the job seeker's personality and help select the best candidate based on his or her
skills, exam performance, and decision-making abilities, in contrast to the current online recruitment system, which only reviews the
submitted resume and nominates the candidates.

A. Big Five Factor Model [1]

The proposed system conducts an electronic aptitude test and personality assessment to predict the job seeker's personality and help
select the best candidate based on his or her skills, exam performance, and decision-making abilities, in contrast to the current online
recruitment system, which only reviews the submitted resume and nominates the candidates.
The five-factor model of personality is a five broad trait dimension consisting of the following five factors:
1) Openness to Experience- Curious by nature, intellectual person, creatively inclined and always open to new ideas.
2) Conscientiousness- A person who is organized, neat, reliable at work, with a performance-oriented approach, and trustworthy.
3) Extraversion- Person with preferences Outgoing, communicative, amiable, appreciates friendly circumstances.
4) Agreeableness- friendly, open-minded, tender, trusting, hospitable and pleasant.
5) Neuroticism- Anxious, irascible, unstable, and overemotional.

B. MBTI Personality Traits [2]

Determine a person's personality type, inclinations, and tendencies with the Myers-Briggs Personality Indicator. As a result of their
work with Carl Jung's theory of character types, Isabel Myers and her mother Katherine Briggs created it. One of the most popular
mental tools now in use is this one. Four categories make up the Myers-Briggs Personality Indicator (MBTI):
- Sensation/Intuition - Introversion/Extraversion
- Thinking and Feeling - Assessing and Perceiving
This test is also unreliable because it has been demonstrated that repeating the exam can change a person's personality scores.
Related work is presented in Section II, and the proposed approach as well as information on the model's training and testing are
presented in Section III. We give the findings and outcomes in section IV. Section Section V - Conclusions - VI lists the references
used.

II. RELATED WORKS

By generating meta-credits from tweets, Kalghatgi et al. [3] developed a neural network technique based on a Big Five inquiry to
visualize the nature of singularities based on tweets shared through the social media platform Twitter. They are also employed in the
analysis of their own social research. Data mining from social media tweets was done by the developers using a four-step procedure
that included pre-processing, transformation, and bracketing. Despite the fact that neural networks are used to predict character,
phoney data, programmed analysis of tweets, and reliance on Twitter are insufficient to forecast a person's character; rather, only
anomalies and patterns can do so. Afzal Juneja Ayub Zubeda et al [4] discussed a business that evaluated resumes and CVs using
machine learning and natural language processing (NLP). This paradigm places CV in the context provided by the organization's
metrics. The authors advise organisations to take into account a candidate's GitHub and LinkedIn profiles in addition to their resume
in order to gain a deeper knowledge of them and make it simpler for them to identify a suitable fit in terms of abilities, character,
and especially talents. Using Natural Language Processing and machine learning, Md. Tanzim Reza et al. [5] analysed resumes of
individuals by transforming the resume into an HTML page and then breaking it down into HTML code to extract parts and talents.

According to Sudhir Bagade et al's [7] proposal, sentiment analysis in social media may be used to modify current data. Here, it is
discovered that combining several categorization methods offers significantly superior characteristics; the programme can then be
examined for efficiency and performance.
M. R. Barrick et al. [8] They suggested the Big Five personality dimensions in 1991 as a way to determine someone's personality. In
particular, in the subfields of human choice, preparation and promotion, and execution assessment, the results discuss the benefits of
applying the 5-factor model of character to gather and convey the observed results that have diverse ideas for study and practise in
human psychology.

III. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY

A model for predicting personality is suggested in this study report. This model is created by first using a dataset that has been
further preprocessed. A deep learning model is trained following feature extraction. Based on the input personality traits, this trained
model is used to predict a person's personality. Based on this process, a workable project has been created that offers clear, user-
friendly results.
Figure 1 illustrates the proposed methodology.

A. Dataset
We made advantage of the Kaggle and GitHub datasets as well as live data gathered from CVs and resumes. The dataset is called
"mypersonality.csv". [9]
The dataset is organised into the following columns: "STATUS," "sentiNEG," "sentiPOS," "sentiNEU," "sentiCOMPOUND,"
"cEXT," "cNEU," "sAGR," "sCON," "sOPN," "DATE," "NETWORKSIZE," "BETWEENNESS," "DENSITY," "BROKERAGE,"
"NBROKERAGE," and "TRANSITIVITY." The candidate's corresponding social media post is called STATUS. It may just be
some plain text or a caption. Sentiments marked with "sentiNEG", "sentiPOS", "sentiNEU", or "sentiCOMPOUND" are positive,
negative, or neutral. The personality kinds are "Ext," "sNEU," "sAGR," "sCON," "sOPN," "cEXT," "cNEU," "cAGR," "cCON,"
and "cOPN." A person's "NETWORKSIZE", "BETWEENNESS," "NBETWEENNESS," "DENSITY," "BROKERAGE,"
"NBROKERAGE," and "TRANSITIVITY" are qualities.

B. Data Preprocessing
Following that, the input data set is processed to remove extraneous information, eliminate background noise, and convert
characters to lowercase.

C. Feature Extraction
All of the significant characteristics that include feelings are then removed. Only the emotionally laden words are chosen.

D. Model Trainining
After using categorization methods, an emotion lexicon is also utilised. Personality is categorised using techniques like Support
Vector Machine, KNN, Gaussian Naive Bayse, and LSTM (long-term short memory), a type of repeating neural network. Polarity
testing is carried out based on personality attributes, and the model is trained and evaluated using the training and testing data [10].
About 66% of the input data are utilised for the training models and 33% are used for the testing models when using the Sklearn
library [11].
The personality is then predicted, i.e., using the MBTI or Big Five Factor Theory. The Kaggle kernel output testaccount93/my
personality -p /path/to/dest is the API that is being utilised.
We should give the personality column in our dataset a name before creating the model. We applied ML techniques including
Logistic Regression, Naive Bayes, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and KNN to predict a participant's personality.
The difference between logistic regression and linear regression is that the former determines whether the forecast will be accurate
or inaccurate. It is regarded as one of the most well-known algorithms for resolving binary classification issues (true/false, yes/no)
[12].
Naive Bayes - The conditional probability is determined using the Bayes theorem. It serves as the foundation for the Naive Bayes
classifier, a set of guidelines that depend on the feature's assumptions being clear. Each element within the set of rules must comply
with the issues provides a comparable and objective assessment of the result.
KNN, or K-nearest Neighbour, is a technique for solving classification and regression issues. Of course, KNN and the adage "like
and like" are interchangeable. The rule set presupposes that similar record factors typically occur near together [2].
SVM - To do classification and regression analysis on the presented dataset, we mainly employed Support Vector Machine
(supervised), whose miles are used to handle relevant data. In the N-dimensional space (N-variety of characteristics), SVM is used
to locate a hyperplane that can rapidly describe the collected factors.
1) Random Forest- a technique for classification and regression that is extensively utilised. To deliver the answer, more than one
decision tree is used. We applied either bagging or bootstrap aggregation to train the random forest.
2) Long-Short- A recurrent extraordinary neural network called Term Memory (LSTM) permits learning of long-term data
dependability. This is made possible by the model's recurrent module, which is the cause. It is made up of a combination of 4
layers that communicate with one another [4].

G. Input Personality Traits

We insert the parameters in accordance with the dataset's columns. The following terms are used: sEXT, sNEU, sAGR, sCON,
sOPN, cEXT, cNEU, cAGR, cCON, cOPN, DATE, NETWORKSIZE, BETWEENNESS, NBETWEENNESS, DENSITY,
BROKERAGE. Feature extraction from datasets with imputed data and data preprocessing.
Because STATUS and AUTHID are not necessary for the problem, they are not included in the data preparation. TRANSITIVITY
and NBROKERAGE. Positive, negative, and neutral attitudes are primarily employed. To obtain the utmost accuracy, some features
additionally undergo hot label coding.

H. Polarity Checking
Whether the terms submitted are positive or negative is determined through the polarity verification process. We grade it on a scale
of 1 to 10, with 1 denoting "disagree" (a bad word) and 10 denoting "agree" (a good word). The input is organised using it.

I. Personality Prediction Model

Applying the generated model to the input data ultimately results in the prediction of personality.
The model is trained using a variety of techniques, and a model is then chosen depending on how accurate the trained model is. We
achieved an accuracy of 0.69 and a precision of 0.74 using KNN classifiers. We also achieved 0.74 accuracy and 0.74 precision with
SVM. Gaussian Naive Bayes provided an accuracy and precision of 0.48 and 0.73, respectively. When feeding datasets into the
models and evaluating the models, we were able to improve accuracy with LSTM, which resulted in a loss reduction of 0.0809. The
most accurate algorithms are those using short-term memory, followed by SVM. The least reliable is achieved by Naive Bayes.
Figure 2 shows the performance comparison of the models.

Fig(2) performance comparison of models

The model used to predict personality is the LSTM since it has the best accuracy.

J. Predicted Personality
Personality is predicted by trained models. The output is a precise number that corresponds to the personality type. Any personality
type, including impolite, serious, smart, excellent, and satisfying, is acceptable. Numerous related applications can make advantage
of this projected personality.

IV. CONCLUSION
We have used the standard scores provided by the HR department in accordance with the work decision measures to offer human
subject evaluation in this article. The administrator can access the web-based resumes (CVs) that candidates fill out. Separate keys
are supplied to each applicant for the in-person exams. The system incorporates the CVs that applicants filled out to perform CV
assessment. The data was scored using an ML method. The results assist in highlighting the qualifications of the job applicants. As a
result, CV is selected for consideration throughout the recruiting process, and the HR department takes a just and impartial choice.
Additionally, information perception models determine how students' total performance is shown in relation to numerous factors.
This test enables the administration department and recruiters to accurately assess candidates' skills. Additionally, we may modify
the outdated framework to do sentiment analysis on data derived from social media. ML has many more display settings that can be
combined to offer far superior functionalities. Additionally, the application's features and performance may be tried out. Furthering
the growth of accuracy can benefit from deep learning calculations. The possibility to consider a multidisciplinary approach to
managing expectations that takes into consideration diverse biological signals is available at this point.
