As the literature demonstrates, designersâ?? personality influences design activities like different ways to represent environments\nand/or products, technological advances, etc.. Nevertheless, an exhaustive analysis on the influence of personality on design\nactivities involving different representations is missing.This research explores this gap by studying this influence on specific design\nactivities, the shape-based ones (i.e., analysis of specific shapes and highlighting of functions suggested by them). People showing\ndifferent personalities undergo tests where they carry out design activities exploiting several representations.The results confirm\nthe influence of personality on shape-based design activities and allow highlighting different keys to interpret and exploit these\nresults. Thanks to the results of this study, researchers can increase their knowledge about subjective aspects of design as well as\nabout how these aspects coexist with classic and emerging representations. As well, designers can try to maximize the effectiveness\nof their efforts by selecting the best combinations of personality, representations, and characteristics of the expected design results\ntime by time.
