Summary
The average funniness score of individuals is a by-product of scaling raw scores, the correlation between average scores and Big Five traits found significant correlation with Extroversion and Neuroticism. Correlation with raw scores found similar results in earlier studies, suggesting that the average funniness score is a major contributor to linking humour with two traits.
Then, scaled scores were aggregated in keyed groups of 5 high/low loadings and correlated with Big Five traits, correlation profiles showed a signature plateau pattern predominant across gender and age trends, most notedly, near zero dip in correlation with the same two traits. The existence of the signature pattern suggests the possibility of predicting Big Five traits in two steps. Computing the relative entropy (Kullback-Leibler diversion) provide assessment of the accuracy of prediction.
The age profiles showed jagged but generally declining correlation between Big Five and funniness, suggesting declining dependence of personality on age at adulthood.
Conclusion: Assessed relative entropy of predicting personality traits from funniness scores. Scores need to be scaled in order to improve prediction.

Summary
A mathematical model of animal behaviour was suggested in 1995, it combined priming and homeostatic mechanisms into one dynamic nonlinear systems.
Projecting the model over human behaviour led to a cybernetic theory of aging, where the brain acts as an information channel with diminishing bandwidth: Anecdotal age related changes in human perception could be explained by the age related reduction in bandwidth.
Analyzing funniness raw scores is a convenient way of testing the predicted changes. 100 Humorous sentences were classified in four age trends and tested for internal consistency. Comparing with 100 Big Five personality scores, funniness scores showed higher internal consistency. Significant correlation coefficients were found between humour and two traits, confirming earlier research.
Conclusion: Humour/funniness raw scores could be more reliable than personality self-assessment in identifying individual personality traits.

Humor is probably a uniquely human characteristic, here humor is defined as A sudden falsification of perceived threat. The falsification presumes the perception of a lie, humans can recognize a lie, animals maybe not.

US Patent #7644060 issued on Jan. 5, 2010

An artificial psychology dialog player is a software program that picks a sentence line from a repertoire according to probabilistic rules and artificial personality states. The model of personality has four motivational dimensions, one of which (the emotions) is always paired with one of the remaining three (feeding, sociosexual and parenting motivations); each pair is identified with a stage of human age.

The purpose is to confirm the humor/age link and to seek humor/personality link in order to support a patent application.

A humor appreciation internet survey with 40 humor lines and 20/50 Big 5 (B5) personality items ran for the span of 2008. The humor/age link of the previous survey was confirmed and evidence was found that humor scores are correlated mainly with the emotional stability factor of the B5, while cognitive scores (differential) are linked with the remaining four cognitive factors. The correlation coefficients were too small to show specifics of factor links it was thought hat this is due to the small number of participants.

The purpose is to explore the statistical basis for a possible patent application based on the 4D model.

Two humor appreciation internet surveys ran in 2007, the humor lines were interpreted according to the 4D model and the scores analyzed against age and gender variation. The analysis supported age prediction with statistical significance but no significant gender difference. The statistics in effect provided initial validation.

To describe a hypothesis of personality structure where the dimensions derived by factor analysis can be interpreted in dual cognitive and motivational context.

Comparing the descriptions of the four drives (4D) with the dimensions of some well known personality models reveals a more complex structure than the simple two dimensional tables shows. The novelty is to interpret in two contexts: cognition and motivation, some dimensions appear to be referenced in a cognitive manner, others in motivational manner and the remaining seem mixed or rotated between the two.

To explain an intuitive rationale behind linking humor type preference to post adulthood age.

Humans are considered mature and accountable usually at age 18 yet their behavior keeps developing afterwards. Post adulthood age related behavioral development cannot be attributed to cognition otherwise it would be a legal issue, e.g. a systematic factor in determining the guilt or innocence beyond adulthood. Behavioral development has to be attributed to motivation.

The purpose is to present arguments that support the duality of cognition and motivation

Cognition alone cannot mimic human behavior; not only because cognition is static but also because cognition requires motivation in order to define its context.
