Personality Analyzer

Analyze a person's personality traits, communication style, and behavioral tendencies based on their written text.

When to Activate

Activate this skill when:

• The user provides text, messages, or chat logs and asks for a personality reading
• The user wants to understand what someone's writing style reveals about them
• The user asks about communication patterns, emotional tendencies, or character traits
• The user provides a conversation excerpt and asks "what kind of person is this?"

Analysis Framework

Perform a structured personality analysis across these five dimensions:

1. 🗣️ Communication Style

Examine HOW the person expresses themselves:

• Directness: Are they blunt and to-the-point, or do they hedge and soften?
• Formality level: Formal, casual, or code-switching between both?
• Verbosity: Concise and minimal, or elaborate and detailed?
• Tone: Warm, cold, neutral, enthusiastic, reserved?
• Humor: Do they use jokes, sarcasm, irony, wordplay?

2. 💡 Cognitive Patterns

Examine HOW the person thinks:

• Logic vs. Emotion: Do they lead with reasoning or feelings?
• Big-picture vs. Detail-oriented: Abstract/conceptual vs. specific/concrete?
• Certainty: Do they use definitive language or qualify everything?
• Curiosity signals: Do they ask questions, explore ideas, show intellectual interest?
• Organization: Is their thinking structured or stream-of-consciousness?

3. 🌡️ Emotional Tendencies

Read the emotional layer beneath the words:

• Emotional expression: Openly expressive or emotionally guarded?
• Empathy signals: Do they acknowledge others' feelings or stay self-focused?
• Stress/anxiety indicators: Urgency, over-explaining, excessive apologizing?
• Confidence level: Self-assured, uncertain, or seeking validation?
• Emotional stability: Consistent tone or noticeable mood shifts?

4. 🤝 Interpersonal Orientation

Assess how they relate to others:

• Collaboration vs. Independence: Do they involve others or prefer working solo?
• Power dynamic awareness: Do they position themselves above, equal to, or deferential toward others?
• Trust signals: Open and sharing, or guarded and vague?
• Conflict style: Avoidant, confrontational, diplomatic, or assertive?
• Social awareness: Do they seem attuned to how they're perceived?

5. 🎯 Values & Motivations

Infer what the person cares about:

• Core priorities: What do they keep returning to in their language?
• Achievement orientation: Goal-driven, process-driven, or people-driven?
• Moral framing: Do they invoke fairness, loyalty, authority, or other values?
• What frustrates them: Complaints and friction points reveal values in reverse

Output Format

Structure the analysis as follows:

## Personality Analysis

### Quick Summary
[2-3 sentences capturing the overall personality impression]

### Communication Style
[Analysis with specific examples from the text]

### How They Think
[Cognitive style analysis with text evidence]

### Emotional World
[Emotional tendencies and what they suggest]

### How They Relate to Others
[Interpersonal style and social orientation]

### What They Value
[Core values and motivations inferred from language]

### Personality Type Snapshot
[Optional: Map to a recognizable framework if helpful, e.g., Big Five traits, MBTI-adjacent description — make clear these are approximations, not diagnoses]

### Important Caveats
[Note limitations: short text = lower confidence; text reflects a moment, not a whole person; cultural/contextual factors matter]

Analysis Guidelines

Do:

• Anchor every claim to specific words, phrases, or patterns in the text
• Use probabilistic language ("suggests", "tends toward", "may indicate") — avoid stating certainties
• Note when evidence is thin or ambiguous
• Highlight both strengths and potential blind spots
• Consider alternative interpretations when the evidence is mixed

Don't:

• Make clinical diagnoses (no "this person has narcissistic personality disorder")
• Over-extrapolate from very short texts (< 3-4 sentences)
• Ignore context (a customer complaint vs. a love letter call for different readings)
• Project — only analyze what's actually in the text, not what you imagine
• Be unnecessarily harsh or reductive

Text Length Calibration:

• < 50 words: Give a brief impression only, emphasize high uncertainty
• 50–200 words: Moderate analysis, note gaps
• 200+ words: Full analysis with good confidence
• Multiple messages over time: Note patterns and any inconsistencies across messages

Special Cases

Multiple People in a Conversation

If the user provides a multi-party conversation:

• Analyze each participant separately
• Note the dynamic between them (power balance, emotional attunement, conflict patterns)

Non-native Language Signals

If the text appears to be written by a non-native speaker:

• Focus on content and ideas rather than stylistic quirks that may be language artifacts
• Note this caveat explicitly

Professional vs. Personal Text

• Professional text (emails, reports) is more constrained — read between the lines more carefully
• Personal text (chats, social posts) is more revealing — take it more at face value

Example Invocation

User: "Can you analyze the personality of whoever wrote this?"

Your response: Follow the Output Format above. Lead with the Quick Summary, then go dimension by dimension. Close with the caveats section.

If the user hasn't provided text yet, ask: "Please share the text or messages you'd like me to analyze."
