The theoretical part defines different approaches to personality descriptions, with a special focus on the person-centered approach, variable-centered approach, and person-specific approach. The outputs of thematically relevant research studies are also summarized here. The empirical part describes the exploratory research, which aimed to examine the possibility of predicting the personality type of LinkedIn users in the context of the person-centered approach, based on an analysis of their profile and behavior associated with this professional social network. The standardized HEXACO-PI-R and 4Elements Personality Inventory® questionnaires were used in the research. Cluster analysis was performed on data from 118 participants who filled out the 4Elements Personality Inventory®. Based on that, 4 clusters that describes 52,2 % of the variance were formed. Furthermore, using multinomial logistic regression, two models predicting the probability of a person belonging to a certain cluster based on information about predictors were created. Another cluster analysis was performed on the data from HEXACO-PI-R, which created 6 clusters that...

New psychometric approaches to personality measurement - digital footprints analysis
Fousková, Petra ; Höschlová, Eva (advisor) ; Fabianová, Ivana (referee)
Digital technologies have become an inherent part of both our personal and professional lives. We send e-mails, share posts on social networks, take selfies. This has been bringing new opportunities for using different type of data than it was typical for psychometry in the past. This thesis deals with the possibilities of using digital footprints for personality traits and intelligence measurement. The first part of the thesis focuses on possibilities of personality traits estimation, or rather prediction, based on an analysis of text, photography and online user behaviour. The second part examines the extent to which is possible to estimate personality traits measured by Hogan Personal Inventory from digital footprints on the professional social network LinkedIn. The outcome from the proposed research could be potentially used as a source of information in the employee selection process.

Fousková, Petra ; Hojka, Vladimír (advisor) ; Krátký, Petr (referee)
ANALYSING OF TWO YEARS TRAINING MACROCYCLES (2006-2007 a 2007- 2008) RUNNER ON 1500 M Objectives: We focus on the contain of training unit, and types of endurance with respect to training sessions. We analyze special training exercises and methods in the season from the perspective of dynamic value changes and intensity workouts in that season. The main goal was to measure relationship between speed and endurance skills and evaluate their influence on the performance. Methods: In our thesis we have used the comparison analysis method of two years training cycles. We used percentage value for accurate quantifications, and qualitative analysis coming out from dividing whole running facility on general and special. We measure relationships between speed and endurance skills, and their influence on 1500 m distance. We analyze running log (OTU and STU), and following dynamic changes of these determinants. Results: We have described a training process of an advanced competitive runner in middle distance 1500 m at an efficiency level. We have found out that the general training was preferred rather than special training. This way we have reached a positive training effect, which culminated in both cases in the Czech national championship on track. Keywords: endurance, middle distance 1500 m, training...
