BIO-ACOUSTIC PERSONALITY
Your Voice Reveals Who You Are
1,000+ engines analyze involuntary vocal biomarkers to map your personality
across 10 scientific frameworks. No questionnaire. No self-report bias.
Just your voice.
The gold standard in personality psychology. Five dimensions measured from vocal energy, pitch variation, speech rate, and prosodic patterns.
Openness
Pitch variability, vocabulary richness, creative pauses
Conscientiousness
Speech regularity, precise articulation, structured rhythm
Extraversion
Higher energy, faster rate, wider pitch range, fewer pauses
Agreeableness
Vocal warmth, lower spectral centroid, prosodic mirroring
Neuroticism
Jitter elevation, pitch instability, filled pauses, vocal tension
The Big Five extended with a critical 6th dimension: Honesty-Humility. Detected through vocal sincerity markers and speech authenticity patterns.
Honesty-Humility
Vocal sincerity, absence of impression management cues, natural prosody
Emotionality
Vocal expressiveness, pitch reactivity, emotional leakage patterns
+ 4 shared dimensions with Big Five (X, A, C, O)
Beyond basic type detection. ORAVYS computes your full Enneagram profile including wings, instinctual variants, and tritype from vocal biomarkers.
Core Type
9 types detected from prosodic motivation patterns
Wing
Adjacent type influence (e.g., 9w1 or 9w8) from probability distribution
Instinctual Variant
Self-Preservation (stable rhythm), Social (projected energy), Sexual (intensity peaks)
Tritype
Top type per center: Body (8-9-1), Head (5-6-7), Heart (2-3-4)
Growth / Stress
Direction detected from voice state shifts during recording
The most widely used corporate personality framework. Communication style detected from speech dynamics, energy projection, and pacing patterns.
Dominance
Fast pace, assertive volume, declarative intonation, minimal hedging
Influence
Wide pitch range, high energy, enthusiasm bursts, animated prosody
Steadiness
Regular rhythm, moderate pace, warm tone, consistent energy
Conscientiousness
Measured pace, precise articulation, analytical pauses, controlled delivery
Far beyond basic "happy/sad/angry." ORAVYS detects 40 discrete emotions from acoustic biomarkers, grouped into HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW intensity tiers.
HIGH
Amusement, Determination, Contentment, Distress...
PRESENT
Pride, Relief, Contemplation, Doubt...
TRACES
Nostalgia, Envy, Shame, Ecstasy...
Your personality is not static. ORAVYS tracks how you shift between states every 5 seconds, mapping cognitive load, stress responses, and emotional transitions.
Cognitive Load
0-100 score from filled pauses, rate changes, pitch resets
Baseline Deviation
Z-score comparison to YOUR personal vocal pattern, not a universal norm
Narrative Graph
SVG trajectory with per-segment explanation of what changed and why
Measures Machiavellianism, Narcissism, and Psychopathy from vocal patterns: strategic flatness, dominant projection, and affective suppression markers.
Machiavellianism
Controlled prosody, calculated pauses, strategic emotional suppression
Narcissism
Dominant vocal projection, self-assured rhythm, dramatic pitch range
Psychopathy
Flat affect, reduced prosody, monotonic quality, counter-intuitive calm
Four attachment patterns detected from vocal affect regulation: stability, anxiety markers, emotional withdrawal, and approach-avoidance dynamics.
Secure
Balanced pitch, steady rhythm, warm harmonics, natural expression
Anxious
Elevated pitch, higher jitter, urgency markers, energy lability
Avoidant
Compressed pitch, lower energy, disengaged rhythm, over-control
Disorganized
Vocal instability, irregular rhythm, conflicting tension patterns
Five EQ dimensions estimated from vocal congruence, regulation markers, and prosodic flexibility. Composite score with tier classification.
Self-Awareness
Vocal congruence between pitch and intensity patterns
Self-Regulation
Low jitter, amplitude stability, controlled speech rate
Empathy
Vocal flexibility, warm HNR, patient prosodic patterns
Four leadership communication patterns from vocal dominance, warmth, and energy indices. Identifies primary and secondary style with communication profile.
Transformational
Wide pitch, high energy, expressive prosody, charismatic presence
Transactional
Steady rate, controlled intensity, predictable rhythm, clarity
Servant
Softer intensity, patient pace, warm vocal quality, flexibility
Authoritative
Commanding projection, dominant register, forceful articulation
How Voice Personality Works
1
Record
30 seconds of natural speech. Read a passage or speak freely.
2
Analyze
1,000+ engines extract involuntary biomarkers: micro-tremors, harmonics, prosody, formants.
3
Profile
Your personality mapped across 10 frameworks with temporal narrative and baseline comparison.
Why Voice Beats Questionnaires
Traditional Questionnaires
- Self-report bias (people answer who they want to be)
- Social desirability distortion
- Static snapshot (same result regardless of state)
- 20-60 minutes to complete
- Easy to fake or game
ORAVYS Voice Analysis
- Involuntary biomarkers (cannot be consciously controlled)
- Physiological ground truth from vocal fold physics
- Dynamic: captures state shifts in real-time
- 30 seconds of natural speech
- Resistant to deception (micro-tremors don't lie)
The Science
Voice-based personality detection relies on the fact that personality traits produce
consistent patterns in vocal production. Extraversion correlates with higher energy and
wider pitch range. Neuroticism manifests as micro-tremor elevation and pitch instability.
Conscientiousness appears as regular speech rhythm and precise articulation. These are
involuntary physiological signatures that cannot be faked or suppressed.
