Using computer simulations, scientists also determined the personality types best suited for stays of up to 28 years on the Red Planet.

To answer these questions and better determine the behavioral and psychological interactions of future Martian settlers, the team employed a computer modeling approach called Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) simulation. 

What personality types function best on Mars

The ABM simulations used by the team allowed them to account for the interactions between settlers by considering four basic personality types based on resilience and coping ability. These four types were defined as agreeable, sociable, reactive and neurotic.

The team defined agreeables as "individuals with the lowest degree of competitiveness, low aggressiveness, and not fixated on stringent routine," while socials were "individuals with a medium degree of competitiveness, extroverted, require social interaction, but are not fixated on stringent routines." People with a medium degree of competitiveness and competitive interpersonal orientation and who are fixated on stringent routines were classed as reactives. The final group, "individuals with a high degree of competitiveness, highly aggressive interpersonal characteristics, and challenged ability to adapt to boredom or a change in routine," were classed as neurotics. 

In the models, Red Planet settlements started with an equal number of these four personality types. In all the tests, the researchers pointed out that the agreeable personality types were the only Mars settlers to last the duration of every single run. 

"We also found that the agreeable personality type was the one more likely to survive," the team wrote. "The stress caused by accidents, as well as from interacting with other settlers, takes a toll, and agreeable personality types were assessed to be the most enduring for the long term, whereas neurotics showed least adaptation capacity."

mekkora meglepi: az együttműködő embertípusnak van a legnagyobb esélye a túlélésre ( a Marson is) :)
