Abstract

Technical personality is introduced and defined as a profile of the broad technical preferences of an individual. Intrinsic personality is the customary personality profile as measured by a standard personality test such as the Big Five personality test. The relationship between intrinsic and technical personalities is evaluated in this research. The proposed technical personality traits are defined, and statistical data about each technical trait is provided and evaluated in order to identify any correlation between intrinsic and technical personality traits. The result of this research provides a useful tool for self-discovery and can also confirm or dispel certain stereotypes in fields related to information technology.
