suited to assess the emotional valence of viewer reactions”

Big, Deep Data: Facial Coding &

Big 5 Factor


The Problem

In general, “evidence indicates that demographic measures,

outside of education, are not an accurate predictor of consumer

behavior.”

Sales/Marketing Management (11/09)

Only 15% of major companies surveyed derive real value from creating segmentation typology.

(Marakon 2006)

Only 6% of marketers have excellent knowledge of

customers, 51% have fair to little knowledge.

(CMO Council 2008)


Solution: Big 5 Traits Model

“Surprisingly, most marketers have no idea how well the Big 5 can predict consumer behavior.

The Big 5 predict attitudes, values, self-concepts, and

motivations.”


Myers-Briggs Inadequate

The Elements

“The fifth element is mud.”

-Napoleon Bonaparte

Traits by State
