Visualize Personality of Your Favourite Fictional Character
Introduction
The dataset I have used is from TidyTuesday by courtesy of tanya shapiro
Project collecting and analyzing data from the Open-Source Psychometrics Project. The datasets include information about characters from different universes and their respective personality traits.
About the Open-Source Psychometrics Project (excerpt from website):
This website provides a collection of interactive personality tests with detailed results that can be taken for personal entertainment or to learn more about personality assessment. These tests range from very serious and widely used scientific instruments popular psychology to self produced quizzes. A special focus is given to the strengths, weaknesses and validity of the various systems
Data set includes information on 890 characters total. Information for the entire project can also be downloaded directly from opensychometrics.org. Note, the full zip files are codified — i.e. characters and questions are expressed as varchar IDs and require lookups.
Let’s get started,
Code
p_stat <- readr::read_csv('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rfordatascience/tidytuesday/master/data/2022/2022-08-16/psych_stats.csv')Rows: 356489 Columns: 10
── Column specification ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Delimiter: ","
chr (6): char_id, char_name, uni_id, uni_name, question, personality
dbl (4): avg_rating, rank, rating_sd, number_ratings
ℹ Use `spec()` to retrieve the full column specification for this data.
ℹ Specify the column types or set `show_col_types = FALSE` to quiet this message.There are total 100 tv shows and movies. You can choose your favorite show or a movie. In this post I am analyzing the personality traits of characters from the famous tv show “Friends”.
Filter data for Friends
# A tibble: 6 × 10

# ℹ 2 more variables: rating_sd <dbl>, number_ratings <dbl>We are focusing on the variables personality and avg_rating. There is total 727 types of personalities. I have chosen the most common ones. Let’s make new tidy data frame.
Code
df1 <- fri |>
select(-char_id, -uni_id, -uni_name, -question, -rank, -rating_sd, -number_ratings) |>
filter(personality %in% c("expressive","emotional","opinionated","soft","awkward","bold","dramatic","playful","warm","spontaneous")) |>
pivot_wider(names_from = personality, values_from = avg_rating,values_fn = list(avg_rating = mean))
head(df1)# A tibble: 6 × 11
char_name opinionated emotional bold expressive dramatic playful warm

2 Rachel Green 64.6 85.7 75.3 83.1 78.3 75.9 64.9
3 Chandler Bing 64.9 56.4 59.6 75.7 72.2 80.2 60.6

6 Ross Geller 84.2 66.7 NA 60.6 77.0 NA 53.3
# ℹ 3 more variables: awkward <dbl>, spontaneous <dbl>, soft <dbl>Now, lets add images to this dataframe and make the data longer again.
Code
df1$image <- c("https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/characters/test-resources/pics/F/2.jpg",
"https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/characters/test-resources/pics/F/1.jpg",
"https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/characters/test-resources/pics/F/5.jpg",

"https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/characters/test-resources/pics/F/3.jpg",
"https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/characters/test-resources/pics/F/6.jpg")Code
d1 <- df1 |>
mutate(image = circle_crop(image)) |>
pivot_longer(cols = c("expressive","emotional","opinionated","soft","awkward","bold","dramatic","playful","warm","spontaneous"),
names_to = 'personality',
values_to = 'value')Now the plotting of graph.
