Abstract

We present a novel corpus for personality prediction in Italian, containing a
larger number of authors and a different genre compared to previously available
resources. The corpus is built exploiting Distant Supervision, assigning Myers-
Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) labels to YouTube comments, and can lend itself to
a variety of experiments. We report on preliminary experiments on Personal-ITY,
which can serve as a baseline for future work, showing that some types are easier
to predict than others, and discussing the perks of cross-dataset prediction.
