Sasang typology, a personality framework, can predict user behavior in human-computer interaction (HCI). Different Sasang types exhibit distinct PC wallpaper and folder organization preferences, reflecting their personality traits.
Area of Science:
- Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
- Psychology
- User Experience (UX) Design
Background:
- User emotional satisfaction is crucial in HCI as it becomes more integrated into daily life.
- Personality traits are increasingly recognized as a key factor in HCI design.
- Sasang typology offers a potential framework for user segmentation in HCI.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate Sasang typology as a user segmentation method for HCI design.
- To analyze HCI usage patterns based on user personality and temperament, specifically focusing on PC wallpaper settings.
Main Methods:
- 104 participants completed a Sasang typology survey (QSCC II).
- Participants submitted images of their PC/laptop wallpaper.
- Folder organization and wallpaper settings were analyzed to classify computer usage patterns.
Main Results:
- So-Yang types organized folders meticulously and used default wallpapers, reflecting emotional stability and extroversion.
- So-Eum types showed less organization and preferred landscape wallpapers, indicating lower emotional stability and anxiety.
- So-Yang's wallpaper choices (family/social figures) align with their sociable nature, while So-Eum's landscape choices suggest a desire for emotional analogy.
Conclusions:
- Sasang typology can predict HCI usage patterns and user experiences.
- This framework enables the development of user-centered design methodologies that accommodate psychological environments.
- Understanding personality types can lead to more personalized and effective HCI designs.

An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...
