contents As a modern commodity, language has become a vast repository of socially and psychologically significant traits and concepts, reflecting the ways people encode pattern of thoughts, behaviors, and emotions into words. Text-based Automatic Personality Prediction (APP), seeks to infer personality from linguistic behavior, offering a scalable alternative to traditional psychometric assessments. Although text is inherently hierarchical, with the document-level capturing global features, the sentence-level encoding local semantics, and the word-level providing fine-grained lexical information, most existing approaches rely on shallow, sequential, or single-level representations that ignore the multi-level structure of written language. To address this, we propose HyperPersona, a framework that explicitly models the hierarchical organization of text (document, sentence, and word) through hypergraph structure, where a document and its sentences are represented as hyperedges, and the words are represented as nodes, enabling joint modeling of global, local, and lexical dependencies of text. Followed by a transformer-based graph encoder that learns interactions within and across these linguistic layers, yielding context-sensitive and structurally grounded feature representations for personality prediction. Experiments on the Big Five personality dimensions show that, while relying solely on text, HyperPersona effectively integrates multi-level linguistic cues, achieving superior performance compared to state-of-the-art baselines. These findings underscore the critical role of textual hierarchy in advancing human-like personality inference from natural language.
