Every person is unique in its own way; every person has a different personality. Personality detection gives an idea of behaviour of the person or gives an idea of how a person will react in a particular situation. Study of the relationship between word-use and personality traits has been successful in giving insight into human behaviour. Questionnaires is the most commonly used methods in the earlier times to detect personality traits from text but is not that effective. Due to emergence in technology different new methods are now available to detect personality of a person automatically. This paper is a summarized study of various methods used to automatically predict personality of a person from its text. Beginning with various methods used in earlier times to the methods newly emerged, this paper is a detailed study of all the different types of methods which are used for personality prediction along with different personality prediction models.
