16 Personalities

While back, my husband introduced me to this fun online personalities test called 16 personalities. I’ve taken the test, and my personalities type came back as Mediator (Code: INFP - Role: Diplomat)

There were difinitely some traits that sounded like me, and a lot of statement I can relate for sure. It’s definitely some fun test to do.

There was a one part that stated “INFP - compromising just 4% of the population”. This read me to think which traits are more popular than the others, but so far I haven’t found details on population breakdown. Later if I do find population breakdown of personalities trait, then I thought it would be interesting to make the plot proportional to the ratio.

Anyways, I thought I’d get all 16 personalities and plot them using circlize package as practice. The documentation on circlize was extremely helpful to get me started!

Below is the code I wrote for now, so I can remember what I have done in case I want to utilize circlize packages.

## Get 16 Different Personalities from 16 Personalities Website
personalities <-read_html("https://www.16personalities.com/personality-types")

per.df <- tibble(
  type = personalities %>% html_nodes(".type-item h4") %>% 
    html_text() %>% gsub(pattern="(“|”)",replacement=""),
  type.code = personalities %>% html_nodes("h5") %>% html_text(),
  short.descr = personalities %>% html_nodes(".type-snippet") %>% html_text(),
  img = personalities %>% html_nodes(".type-item img") %>% html_attr("src")
)

## Add few more details to table.
per.df <- per.df %>% mutate(type.code=substr(type.code,1,4), mind=substr(type.code,1,1),
                            energy = substr(type.code,2,2), nature = substr(type.code,3,3),
                            tactic = substr(type.code,4,4))

## There are 4 "Roles" based on followig rules ## I only really recently discovered case_when statment! 
### case_when statement is amazing! I've been writing crazy nested ifelse statement till very recently.
per.df <- per.df %>% mutate(roles = case_when(
  str_detect(.$type.code,".NT.") ~ "Analyst",
  str_detect(.$type.code,".NF.") ~ "Diplomat",
  str_detect(.$type.code,".S.J") ~ "Sentinels",
  str_detect(.$type.code,".S.P") ~ "Explorers"
))

Here comes exciting drawing with circlize package!

circos.clear() 
circos.par(start.degree=90)

## initialize
circos.initialize(factor=per.df$type, xlim=c(0,1))

## Layout basic tracks
circos.track(ylim=c(0,1), 
             panel.fun = function(x,y){
               circos.text(x=CELL_META$xcenter, y=CELL_META$ycenter,
                           labels=CELL_META$sector.index,
                           facing = "inside", 
                           niceFacing= TRUE, font=2)
             })

## I definitely think there's better way to write below....  
## But at the moment, I'm building it section by section...
highlight.sector(per.df$type[1:4], 
                 track.index = 1, 
                 text = per.df$roles[1],
                 facing = "bending.inside", niceFacing = TRUE, 
                 text.vjust = "15mm", cex = 1.5, col="#734C5F60")

highlight.sector(per.df$type[5:8], 
                 track.index = 1, 
                 text = per.df$roles[5],
                 facing = "bending.inside", niceFacing = TRUE, 
                 text.vjust = "15mm", cex = 1.5, col="#728D5660")


highlight.sector(per.df$type[9:12], 
                 track.index = 1, 
                 text = per.df$roles[9],
                 facing = "bending.inside", niceFacing = TRUE, 
                 text.vjust = "15mm", cex = 1.5, col="#51A9AB60")


highlight.sector(per.df$type[13:16], 
                 track.index = 1, 
                 text = per.df$roles[13],
                 facing = "bending.inside", niceFacing = TRUE, 
                 text.vjust = "15mm", cex = 1.5, col="#E5C82E60")

###  Now the inner track.  I want to place images.
circos.track(ylim=c(0,1), 
             panel.fun = function(x,y){
               circos.raster(image=image_read(per.df$img[CELL_META$sector.numeric.index]),
                             x=CELL_META$xcenter, y=CELL_META$ycenter, 
                             width="2.5cm", facing = "inside", niceFacing=TRUE)
             },bg.border = NA, track.height=0.3)

## Place another track with type code.
circos.track(ylim=c(0,1), 
             panel.fun = function(x,y){
               circos.text(x=CELL_META$xcenter, y=CELL_META$ycenter,
                           labels=per.df$type.code[CELL_META$sector.numeric.index],
                           facing = "inside", 
                           niceFacing= TRUE)
             },bg.border = NA , track.height=0.15)
