How do you learn someone’s intrinsic traits?
You can’t ask a customer something like…
Those intrinsic traits include what motivates you,
what you believe, and your fundamental needs.
“Welcome to my store,
would you like to take a
personality test?”

That hasn’t been widely applicable before, because
where do you get those linguistic footprints?
Now, you can do that with social media and digital
communications –
we have the big data we need!
Computers can derive people’s traits from
linguistic footprints.

Don’t necessarily
think it’s important

Very open: to
experiencing new
things and a love of
novel things
An idealist: a very picky perfectionist who
wants things to be done just right
Value
cooperation,
harmony, and
others and their
opinions
