2. This network is an estimate of the research space: a network connecting fields that tend to share authors.

It is the latest addition to https://t.co/HCN0cVwiVr, a platform exploring scientific impact using methods that eschew away from rankings.

Very interesting paper about how populist authoritarian leaders have targeted universities eroding academic freedom — as seen in Hungary and Turkey, but also in Mexico with AMLO and CIDE.

✅✅ A reminder by Dr. Rahaf Ajaj:

She wasn’t on the Stanford list… but she made it to the Nobel stage. 🏅

Mary E. Brunkow, one of this year’s Nobel Prize winners in Medicine, has only 34 published papers and an H-index of 21.

She never appeared in Stanford’s ranking of the world’s top 2% of scientists.
She didn’t chase citations, metrics, or the spotlight.

Yet, she became part of a discovery that changed how humanity understands the immune system.

Today, while many are busy chasing numbers, titles, and rankings —
she reminds us what truly matters in science: the question.

🔹 She wasn’t running after the lists.
🔹 She was running after the truth.

Because in the end, it’s not about how many papers you publish…
It’s about how deeply your idea can reshape the world.

Focus on your idea, not your ranking.

Are you interested in hierarchical dimensionality analysis? Here's our new "Taxonomic Graph Analysis" used to model the IPIP-NEO Personality Hierarchy. The project is led by Andrew Samo and Alexander Christensen, with the collaboration of Luis Garrido, Paco Abad, Sam McAbee, and me!

In our preprint (link in the comments) we introduce a new approach to understanding personality structure: Taxonomic Graph Analysis (TGA), is a comprehensive network psychometrics approach that identifies hierarchical personality structures from the bottom up rather than imposing existing theoretical models. We applied TGA to the open-source 300-item IPIP-NEO dataset with over 149,000 participants and reveal a three-level structure of personality:

28 first-level dimensions (facets)
6 second-level dimensions (traits)
3 third-level dimensions (meta-traits)

What makes this approach very interesting is how it addresses longstanding methodological challenges in personality assessment:

Local independence violations
Wording effects
Dimensionality assessment
Structural robustness

While some dimensions aligned with traditional IPIP-NEO structure, we found significant deviations. The emergence of novel dimensions like "Sociability," "Integrity," and "Impulsivity" at the second level and a "Disinhibition" meta-trait at the third level represents a major departure from the traditional five-factor model.

Our research effectively integrates empirical findings scattered across personality literature into a coherent hierarchical structure. This data-driven framework demonstrates TGA's value for investigating complex psychological constructs and offers a rigorous new perspective on personality taxonomy.

This work exemplifies how innovative psychometric methods can reshape our understanding of fundamental psychological constructs. Its implications extend beyond personality assessment to potentially revolutionize how we conceptualize and measure human traits across psychology.

Humans are biased.
AI trained on human knowledge is also biased.
