## Abstract (arXiv)

Accessing people's personality traits has always been a challenging task. On the other hand, acquiring personality traits based on behavioral data is one of the growing interest of human beings. Numerous researches showed that people spend a large amount of time on social networks and show behaviors that create some personality patterns in cyberspace. One of these social networks that have been widely welcomed in some countries, including Iran, is Telegram. The basis of this research is automatically identifying users' personalities based on their behavior on Telegram. For this purpose, messages from Telegram group users are extracted, and then the personality traits of each member according to the NEO Personality Inventory are identified. For personality analysis, the study is employed three approaches, including; Cosine Similarity, Bayes, and MLP algorithms. Finally, this study provides a recommender system that uses the Cosine similarity algorithm to explore and recommend relevant Telegram channels to members according to the extracted personalities. The results show a 65.42% satisfaction rate for the recommender system based on the proposed personality analysis.
