ABSTRACT
Lately Programming Psychology has opened up a vast area of study, where human, social and psychological factors of the programmer are studied in different computational areas. His behavior and how to relate with others are important aspects that influence performance of a developing team. In our daily work in education we have an obligation of shaping human resources to build a society with professionals participating in companies and corporations dedicated to industrial, social and economic development. Thus in searching for strategies to shape human resources and improve these group corporations we propose RAMSET a Role Assignment Methodology for Software Engineering Teams where we acknowledge the importance of relating personality with team roles, using sociometric techniques and psychometrics to aid in forming high performing teams for software development projects.

Recommendations
Towards individualized software engineering: empirical studies should collect psychometrics
CHASE '08: Proceedings of the 2008 international workshop on Cooperative and human aspects of software engineeringEven though software is developed by humans, research in software engineering primarily focuses on the technologies, methods and processes they use while disregarding the importance of the humans themselves. In this paper we argue that most studies in ...
Comparative Study of Personality Models in Software Engineering
WCI '15: Proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Women in Computing and InformaticsIn this review, we discuss and compare the previous studies based on human factors in the field of software engineering. Human factors are of utmost importance when we focus on the qualities of a software engineer as they can help predict various ...
The relationship of personality models and development tasks in software engineering
SIGSIM-CPR '14: Proceedings of the 52nd ACM conference on Computers and people researchUnderstanding the personality of software developers has been an ongoing topic in software engineering research. Software engineering researchers applied different theoretical models to understand software developers' personalities to better predict ...
