Abstract

When someone goes against their own ideas and instead follows the ideas of others, they conform. In this work, we investigate the tendency of different personality types to conform. We use an agent-based model to simulate interactions between people with different personalities and goals. We look at how likely agents are to retain their original goal when they interact with other agents that have different goals. We found there are significant differences in tendency to conform between different personality types.
