Abstract

We show how reader’s annotation activity captured during an active reading session relates to their personality, as measured by the standard Five Factor Model. For 120 volunteers having usually the habit of reading, we gather personality data and annotation practices. We examine correlations between readers personality and such features of their annotative activities such as the total number of annotation acts, average number of annotation acts, number of textual annotation acts, number of graphical annotation acts, number of referential annotation acts and number of compounding annotation acts. Our results show significant relationships between personality traits and such features of annotation practices. Then we show how multivariate regression allows prediction of the readers personalities traits given their annotation activities.
