Abstract

Personal traits are often concealed within the minutiae of one’s daily life. A deeper understanding of an individual requires sustained interaction with each other. However, in certain social settings, we must quickly reveal ourselves within a group and engage in conversation to "break the ice." This necessitates using symbolic "tags" to describe oneself, such as personality types identified by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). With its popularity in recent years, showcasing individual traits in interactions. Building on this, we propose an innovative interactive artwork whose research question is how artwork can utilize visualization techniques to create images that embody personalities based on the MBTI classification. Utilizing the Design-Based Research (DBR) method, we combine MBTI with style transfer technology to visually express personal characteristics, aptly termed "personality tags." In a user test, we invited 12 users to experience our work. Eleven of them believed that the generated images partially reflected their personality. Based on this, we believe this artwork underscores the potential of style transfer to enhance graphical visualization and personal expression.
