Hi, Organizational Psychologist here who works in a lab alongside my personality Psych research supervisor. I have never heard of this method, never read this in any of the literature, and am genuinely disgusted anyone got ethics approval to run this study. The only way we use ML to evaluate personality is using natural language due to the tenants of the lexical hypothesis. I have never seen anyone attempt to create a big five measure from facial recognition nor have I ever heard of any theoretical models for personality based on faces…except for phrenology
