The Entropy of Humour Predictions of Personality

Summary
The average funniness score of individuals is a by-product of scaling raw scores, the correlation between average scores and Big Five traits found significant correlation with Extroversion and Neuroticism. Correlation with raw scores found similar results in earlier studies, suggesting that the average funniness score is a major contributor to linking humour with two traits.
Then, scaled scores were aggregated in keyed groups of 5 high/low loadings and correlated with Big Five traits, correlation profiles showed a signature plateau pattern predominant across gender and age trends, most notedly, near zero dip in correlation with the same two traits. The existence of the signature pattern suggests the possibility of predicting Big Five traits in two steps. Computing the relative entropy (Kullback-Leibler diversion) provide assessment of the accuracy of prediction.
The age profiles showed jagged but generally declining correlation between Big Five and funniness, suggesting declining dependence of personality on age at adulthood.
Conclusion: Assessed relative entropy of predicting personality traits from funniness scores. Scores need to be scaled in order to improve prediction.
