53. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF GEOGRAPHICAL PERSONALITY DIVERSITY WITHIN THE EUROPEAN UNION FOR ITS LAWS
Psychometrics enables the precise analysis of human personality traits (e.g. in the justice system, mediations, recruitment processes), but also the analysis of geographical diversity of personality traits. The development of ICT has radically increased the number of opportunities to use these long-standing study methods. A spectacular example of related risks is the use of psychometric methods in political marketing, and revealing the influence of profiling millions of Internet users on election results in various countries. In order to counteract such e.g. risks, profiling of EU citizens has been included in the new uniform legal framework. However, since psychometric studies show territorial personality diversity, it is also worth considering how GIS could be used to update them, and how such differences could be considered in processes of European and national law-making and law application.
