Could we tell which personalities are more distractable from their working memory performance?
At Neuromatch Academy, we hypothesized certain personalities were more distractable, measured by poorer working memory, and proceeded to check via clustering (KMeans, PCA, TSNE) and building a prediction model. Disappointingly, the results were not significant. We'd need to quantify distractability better. Presentation
