API

IntroWelcome to Sentino API!

Welcome to Sentino API

A psychological personality API is a type of application programming interface (API) that allows developers to integrate personality assessments into their applications. This type of API is based on psychological theories of personality. Personality is a complex and multifaceted concept, and there are many different theories and approaches to understanding it. A psychological personality API allows developers to incorporate these theories and assessments into their applications, providing users with a way to assess and understand their own personality traits or those of others. This can be useful for a variety of purposes, including self-improvement, career development, and relationship building. Sentino Personality API is a data-driven, AI-powered service built to provide insights into human personality.

We have integrated vast psychological data and built a natural language interface for it. We have trained our models using the state-of-art NLP stack (e.g. Spacy, Transformers). This representation links the text to 20+ widely known validated inventories (Big 5, NEO-PI, RIASEC, ORVIS, ORAIS, DISC, etc.; the list can be further supplemented). We continuously keep researching and updating the models, striving for high accuracy.

That is why Sentino API is capable of analyzing various data sources (calls, messages, customer feedback, CVs, chat histories, surveys, forum and blog posts, and many more). Audio and video records (e.g. interviews) can also be scored following their processing with a text transcriber.

Sentino API was initially developed as a general psychological processor. This fact makes its adaptation to different application fields, industries, and verticals a rather straight-forward task.

One of the key advantages of the Sentino Personality API is its ability to process large amounts of text quickly and accurately. This means that developers can easily incorporate personality analysis capabilities into their apps without worrying about performance issues or slow processing times.

All end-points of Sentino API are explained in details. You can view code examples in the dedicated highlighted areas.

General Info

The key idea of Sentino API is to transform any type of information into psychologically meaningful representation and link it to validated personality inventories mentioned above.
When using it you will be able to:

  1. Transform and score text about a person (e.g. a self-description) into chosen personality inventories.
  2. Transform and score items about a person into chosen personality inventories.
  3. Score interview of a person (in the form of an an audio/video record) according to chosen personality inventories.
  4. Score LinkedIn profile of a person according to chosen personality inventories.
  5. Create a psychological profile of a person and continuously update it, by adding new information.

Sentino Personality API – Operation Levels

There are three main levels Sentino API operates on: iteminventory and person:

  • item is simply a statement about one’s self that usually starts with a personal pronoun “I/My” (e.g. “I am an introvert” or “My name is Robert.”). See Item endpoints for more details.
  • inventory is a set of items to measure particular traits of a person (e.g. Big-5, NEO-PI etc.). Sentino API supports a plenty of different inventories. See Inventories endpoints for more details.
  • person is treated as a composition of different items. Items can be extracted from questionnaires a person fills in, a person’s self-description or in other way. Please see Scoring and Person for more details.

If you use other language than English, you should provide ‘lang’ parameter to most of endpoints.

Example: SentinoBot

Sentino API provides a great flexibility to fit many domains where insights on personality are important.

One of the easiest ways to explore the API is to chat with SentinoBot. This bot is an AI-powered chatting tool built to leverage a lot of API’s functionality. One can see Sentino API in action by chatting with the bot via Facebook Messenger facebook.com/sentinobot.

Use Cases

One of the most common cases where Sentino API shines is getting Big 5 or NEO traits (or any others) from a text written by a person. Please note that the text should contain psychologically meaningful information. Otherwise, the statistical confidence level will be rather low. This is why it is important to understand where the text comes from.

Further, we will discuss two scenarios that are the most common. Both scenarios imply that you don’t want to keep a personal profile in the database. If you do want to continuously work with a person’s profile by updating it, check out the next use case: managing profile.

Big 5 traits from a text

Suppose, you have a self-description of a person, kindly provided by that person or maybe you have written some passages about yourself of other person. You want to analyze the text to understand what Big 5 traits it reveals about the person.

This can be easily done using the Score Text endpoint.

NEO traits from a questionnaire

Suppose, you asked a person well-posed questions and gathered the responses. In this case, you should use another endpoint: Score Items, that will bring you much higher confidence in the final scoring. However, you should keep in mind that ideally you should use a questionnaire specially designed to measure the inventory of interest.

Questionnaire for Big 5 and Neo

Usually, you can ask a person only a limited amount of questions and want to score concrete psychological traits.

  • What questions should you ask?
  • What are the best questions that provide you with the maximum information?

To solve this problem, you need to perform the following steps:

  1. Pick the inventory you are interested in. For example, NEO.
  2. Create a questionnaire by choosing a number of questions you intend to ask a person.
  3. Collect the data from a person, simply by asking a person these questions.
  4. Build a psychological profile. Use Score Items.

Managing Profiles

This is a scenario in which you want to keep a psychological profile of a person up to date. You can easily keep adding new information (items) and get the profile updated.

These are the actions to be performed:

  • Create a person. You will simply get an ID to operate with
  • Add “items” about a person (like self-description or item-response pairs)
  • Get person’s profile based on Big5, NEO, or other inventories (depending on your needs)
  • Add more items in the similar way
  • Get the profile automatically updated
  • Delete a profile if you do not plan to use it anymore

The ability to update a profile based on new items makes adding new information absolutely price-efficient. Within the commercial plan, you only pay for the newly added text.

When you delete a person, no personal information is kept any longer (for commercial plan).

Scoring

Endpoints presented here are aimed to transform textual information about a person into psychologically meaningful representation. For example, if you have a description of a person or answers to psychologically meaningful questions, you can understand what traits (Big 5 and others) a person possesses.

Metrics

Each scoring consists of the metrics discussed below.

MetricRangeExplanation
score[-1,+1]response score for a given inventory. It is directly proportional to the probability of person answering “yes”/”no”
quantile[ 0,+1]reflects belonging to some percent of the whole population
confidence[ 0,+1]degree of certainty in the result (is proportional to the number of items provided)
confidence_textfive-level confidence: “very low”, “low”, “normal”, “high”, “very high” (directly proportional to confidence)

If you need to track one person over a long time period, it is more reliable to use score. Keep an eye on the confidence. If it is “very low”, normally it means that results should be taken with a grain of salt.

1. Score Text

Using this endpoint, you can easily extract psychologically meaningful information from a self-description of a person given in a natural language.

Technically, the text is split into sentences. Each sentence is then labeled with a corresponding topic (see the section Item Classification) and inventory (like Big5, NEO, etc., see the section Item inventories).

In order to get a deeper understanding of this endpoint, you can try Self-Description Analysis – a visual tool that gives a glimpse on it.

  "text": "I am very calm and steady. I generally keep my cool in challenging situations.",
  "lang": "en"
}'








The command returns JSON structured like this:

{
    "text": "I am very calm and steady. I generally keep my cool in challenging situations.",
    "inventories": [
        "big5"
    ],

                "confidence_text": "normal"
            },...
    },
    "lang": "en"
}

The text data is accurately scored with the help of our AI-powered tool. You receive the applicant’s personality profile based on the BIG-5, RIASEC, NEO, BFAS or other suitable validated and globally recognized psychological scales. This profile is issued in a clearly arranged form comprising numerical score, and brief but insightful text description. Currently, we are working hard on visualization of the results obtained in a user-friendly infographic form and provision of recommendations based on scoring performed.

The data provided by our tool forms a reliable basis for making unbiased personality-related decisions.

2. Score Answer

This endpoint is used to extract psychologically relevant information from a person’s response to one individual question.

5. Score Inventory

This endpoint facilitates the automated processing of results obtained from respondents when they complete standardized personality questionnaires. By providing the API with the complete list of questions from a specific questionnaire and the person’s responses in either the ‘question-answer’ or ‘item-response’ format, you can receive a comprehensive quantification of the results, along with the statistical confidence level associated with each result.

The following parameters are used here:

ParameterDescription
inventoriesinventories to be used for scoring
itemsthe list of items for scoring
langpreferable language

Currently, two item types are supported here:

Item typeDescription
question-answerA question-answer pair is the simplest structural unit of everyday human communication in any context and a valuable source of personality-related information (e.g. “question”: “Are you orderly?”, “answer”: “Let me think. Nope.”).
Note: This item type is sometimes called “text-context” by technical personnel.
item-responseAn item-response is a typical element of various personality assessments, where item is any statement, and response is a degree of agreement or disagreement with this statement from “strongly agree” through “neutral” to “strongly disagree” (e.g. “item”: “I rebel against authorities”, “response”: “agree”).

Here is an example of the relevant API query:

HTTP Request POST https://api.sentino.org/api/score/inventory

}

6. Score Items (Score Facts in v3 and earlier versions)

This endpoint holds the highest level of versatility as items serve as the fundamental building blocks, from which other intricate elements for analysis (such as larger texts, interviews, and social media profiles) are constructed. If versatility is what you seek, then this endpoint is precisely what you need.

Items

Item is a piece of information about a person. There are three types of items currently supported:

Item typeDescription
textThis is a short description of a person. It should preferably come from “Please describe yourself in a couple of sentences” question or a simple self-statement e.g. “I am an extravert.”
question-answerA question-answer pair is the simplest structural unit of everyday human communication in any context and a valuable source of personality-related information (e.g. “question”: “Are you orderly?”, “answer”: “Let me think. Nope.”).
Note: This item type is sometimes called “text-context” by technical personnel.
item-responseAn item-response is a typical element of various personality assessments, where item is any statement, and response is a degree of agreement or disagreement with this statement (e.g. “item”: “I rebel against authorities”, “response”: “agree”).
Note: Please see the available “Responses” in the table below.

Responses

There are many ways to response to a psychological item. However, most personality questionnaires use a 7-point scale from “strongly agree” through “neutral” to “strongly disagree”. That is why internally all responses are translated into these distinct seven groups. The table shows typical synonyms to the core responses.

ResponseScoreMeaning
strongly agree+3completely agree, exactly, absolutely, etc.
agree+2yes, sure, agreed, indeed, etc.
slightly agree+1guess so, maybe, I suppose so, etc.
neutral0neither, whatever, I don’t know, etc.
slightly disagree-1not really, not sure, etc.
disagree-2no, I disagree, I don’t think so, etc.
strongly disagree-3no way, totally disagree, absolutely not, etc.

Item Scoring

If you have previously collected well-structured items as described above, feed the API with your items and get the psychological portrait of a person.

      "response": "disagree"
    }
  ],
  "lang": "en"
}'









The command returns JSON structured like this:

{

            "interview": "A: Are you outgoing?\nB: Yes, sure."
        },
        {
            "question": "Tell me a little bit about yourself.",
            "answer": "Well, I am optimistic and outgoing."
        },
        {
            "item": "I do not like to chat.",
            "response": "disagree"
        }
    ],

                "confidence_text": "normal"
            },...
    },
    "lang": "en"
}

Soon to come: Time Stamp

A time stamp can be indicated for each individual item. This time stamp is required to account for time persistency of an item. For example, “I am in a bad mood now” is usually constrained in time, unlike “I am usually in a bad mood”. If a time stamp is not provided, it is set to the current time by the default.

Person

In this section you can find all the available endpoints for managing psychological profiles of individuals. The advantage of using these endpoints is the ability to continuously add new information about a person and retrieve their automatically updated profile.

Please note that, prior to use of these endpoints, you need to define what inventories you want to use and get updated for each person.

All the known items about a person are stored in the database. Once any new information about this person arrives, the corresponding profile is updated. The newly updated profile can be easily read out by querying profile.

Set up a profile

In order to use person-related endpoints, you need to set up the inventories of interest. Once you run the below-mentioned query, you can start “adding people” and the results for the pre-selected inventories will get automatically updated.

HTTP Request POST https://api.sentino.org/api/client/profile

Input JSON:

curl -X POST "https://api.sentino.org/api/client/profile"
-H "Authorization: Token sentino_api_token"
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d '{
  "inventories": ["big5", "neo"]
}'

The command returns JSON structured like this:

{
    "name": "default",
    "inventories": [
        "big5",
        "neo"
    ],
    "message": "inventories successfully added/updated"
}

Create a person

Please use the query described below to create a person. The query returns the ID of this person. All other person-related endpoints depend on this ID.

At this point no charges (even for commercial users) are applied.

HTTP Request POST https://api.sentino.org/api/person/create

Input JSON:

curl -X POST "https://api.sentino.org/api/person/create"
-H "Authorization: Token sentino_api_token"
-H "Content-Type: application/json"

The command returns JSON structured like this:

{
  "id": "dfefFdfewdfXDDf"
}

Add items

In order to add items, please execute the query described below.

Please use the ID of the previously created “person” to refer to the relevant individual. Then, provide as many items as you want.

Once the items are provided, the scoring will take place in accordance with a chosen inventory or chosen inventories. The charges (for commercial users) are applied at this particular phase. The price depends on the length of the “text” field and number of facets (traits) of the inventories you added before.

Whenever required, you can add new “items”. Subsequently, only the newly-added information is charged.

You need the following parameters to execute this query:

ParameterDescription
itemsitems to be added
langpreferable language

Currently, there are three types of supported items:

Item
type
Required fieldsDescription
texttextThis is a short description of a person. It should preferably come from “Please describe yourself in a couple of sentences” question or a simple self-statement e.g. “I am an extravert.”
question-answerquestion, answerA question-answer pair is the simplest structural unit of everyday human communication in any context and a valuable source of personality-related information (e.g. “question”: “Are you orderly?”, “answer”: “Let me think. Nope.”).
item-responseitem, responseAn item-response is a typical element of various personality assessments, where item is any statement, and response is a degree of agreement or disagreement with this statement (e.g. “item”: “I rebel against authorities”, “response”: “agree”).
linkedinurlThis is a link to the LinkedIn profile of an individual.

HTTP Request POST https://api.sentino.org/api/person/<id>/item

Input JSON:

curl -X POST "https://api.sentino.org/api/person/<id>/itm"

-d '{
  "items": [
    {
      "text": "My name is John. I am an extravert.",
      "lang": "en"
    },
    {
      "text": "I do not like to chat.",

    },
    {
      "url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/deniss-stepanovs-2248111a/"
    }
  ]
}'

The command returns JSON structured like this:

{
  "id": "<id>",
  "message": "success"
}

















Person profile

This endpoint allows building a personal profile from individual items.

To get a person profile (as per Big5, NEO, RIASEC, etc.) simply use the following query.

Please note:

  • The correspondent inventories should be set up in advance
  • If no relevant items are provided you still get a default scoring (that depends on inventory)
  • No charges are applied at this point, since all the scoring was actually performed during the “item adding” phase

HTTP Request GET https://api.sentino.org/api/person/<id>/profile

Input command:

curl -X GET "https://api.sentino.org/person/<id>/profile"
-H "Authorization: Token sentino_api_token"

            "confidence_text": "low"
        },
  "via": {
      ...
  }
}

Delete a person

In order to delete a person, please run the query described below.

As the result of the query execution, the following happens:

Chatbot

Sentino chatbots are served as APIs and expect the token to be included in all requests to the server. Please refer to the Authentication section above to receive your own API token.

API_URL = "https://api.sentino.org".

API_TOKEN = "sentino_api_token".

Make sure to replace sentino_api_token with your unique API key.

In order to launch and further operate your tailor-made psychological chatbot you need to create the following elements:

  • A unique link intended for management of all the subsequent operations, endpoints, and requests.
  • A person (a virtual personality represented as a database) needed for data collection, processing, and updating.
  • A bot (your psychological assistant) with all the relevant features designed for personality-related conversations with individuals.
  • A chat (a separate conversation with a particular person) used for user engagement, as well as for data gathering and registration.

You can use four individual queries to create these elements. However, the easiest and the most convenient way to do this is described below. It allows using a single query to generate a link, a bot, a person, and a chat – all at a time.

First, you should specify all the chatbot parameters listed in the following table.

Bot ParameterDescription
General Info
namemeaningful name for your chatbot
scenarioсhoose “psy” scenario for a general-purpose psychological chatbot; use “hr” scenario for a psychological HR assistant
tagsadditional identifying info
settingslist of the required chatbot settings
inventorieslist of inventories to be used for the assessment (depends on the sections you need to include in final report)
Note: Currently, only “big5” and “mbti” inventories are available in demo mode.
n_personality_questionsnumber of personality-related questions to be asked by the chatbot
For HR Scenario
resumeCV of a person undergoing the job interview
job_titlename of the job opening
job_descriptionfunctional duties and responsibilities related to the job opening
company_titlecompany name
company_descriptionall the necessary company information
For PSY Scenario
questionslist of mandatory questions the bot should ask (option)
messageslist of obligatory messages the bot should include in each conversation
startedinitial greeting message
completedclosing farewell message
show_resultchoose “None” to hide the assessment results from the interviewee; use “True” to show the results to the respondent

Then, you should also define the relevant personality parameters listed below:

Personality ParameterDescription
inventorieslist of inventories to be used for scoring
Note: Currently, only “big5” and “mbti” inventories are available in demo mode.
namereal name or nickname of the individual
emaile-mail address of the individual

Item Analysis

Sentino API uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms to understand the written input of human language. To understand an item is to know how it relates to the known psychological inventories. This ensures that the resulting analysis is always based on the data of real people.

These endpoints will help you to get insights into the item itself, providing you with a multifaceted analysis. The main question is the following: what psychological traits are hidden behind an item?

Item classification

API strongly differentiates a psychologically meaningful information from the rest. This endpoint classifies the given item according to the following categories below. The result is a probability of belonging to a certain category with a range of [0, +1]). Probability higher than 0.5 is considered relevant.

Query Parameters

Basic categoriesDescription and typical item
is_psyAn item with a psychological meaning [0, 1] — I am an extrovert
is_itemAny meaningful item about a person [0, 1] — I am ambitious/I think so
is_moodIf item is related to mood expression [0, 1] — I feel happy now/I feel depressed now
valenceValence of the item [-1, +1] — I behave well/I behave badly
meanBias the item — I behave well/I behave badly

Item projection

The API allows analyzing a given self-statement (item) by projecting it onto specified personality inventory (projection correspondence range is [-1, +1]). You should choose a particular inventory from the list of personality inventories.

Keep in mind, it only makes sense for psychologically relevant statements.

This endpoint shows the projection of a given item onto a specified personality inventory.
