• Computer-based personality judgments are more accurate than those made by humans (2015, methodology): “Second, the way computers use information—through statistical modeling—generates consistent algorithms that optimize the judgmental accuracy, whereas humans are affected by various motivational biases (27).”
• Automatic personality assessment through social media language. (2015, background): “Specifically, informants can be more accurate judges of highly visible and socially desirable traits (e.g., attractiveness, intelligence; Vazire & Carlson, 2011), and they may have a similar advantage in judging traits such as agree-ableness and conscientiousness.”
