ANALYSIS OF FUZZY C-MEANS IN PERSONALITY CLUSTERING BASED ON THE OCEAN MODEL

Personality is the pattern of an individual's behavior in daily life, reflected in their thoughts, feelings, and actions. The Big Five Personality Traits Model, known as OCEAN, helps to understand the complexity of human personality through five main traits. The identification and classification of personality, particularly among students, impacts academic performance, personal development, anxiety levels, and risky behaviors. Collaboration between educators, mental health professionals, and career advisors is crucial to creating an educational environment that supports students' holistic development. The Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) method is used to identify students' personalities with adequate accuracy. This study adopts the OCEAN model with FCM to efficiently identify and classify students' personalities. Data were obtained from 142 respondents, resulting in 27% of respondents being classified in cluster 1, 21% in cluster 2, 18% in cluster 3, 16% in cluster 4, and 18% in cluster 5. This study has important implications for students, educators, and educational institutions to understand that learning patterns, social interactions, and decision-making processes can be influenced by an individual's personality.
