This thread introduces the preprint 《Roman Personality》, investigating whether ancient Romans possessed a personality structure similar to the modern "Big Five".
The core methodology involves collecting 8,032 texts from 88 BCE to 800 CE, extracting 3,516 personality adjectives, and combining 大语言模型 with topic modeling to identify actual descriptions of specific figures and recurring trait patterns.
The author notes this is a preprint led by their PhD student Meriel Burnett, and provides an interactive website for data exploration.
