There are works that study personality and task performance but there are no (or very few works) that study the balancing of personalities within teams that work together towards a common goal in computer-based tasks. This study investigates how personality compatibility in collaborative tasks affects performance, intra-group communication and participants’ emotions for computer-based tasks and introduces the challenges for research in this field. Using the DISC (dominance, inducement/influence, submission/steadiness, compliance) tool for personality assessment and team compatibility, 12 teams were created with either balanced or imbalanced personality compositions. Results showed statistical differences in emotions between the two experimental conditions and also differences in terms of time needed for the completion of the game. The present work showed the qualitative differences between cooperative tasks and revealed the challenges of studying further team compatibility for different tasks.

Player selection is one of the great challenges of professional soccer clubs. Despite extensive use of performance data, a large number of player transfers at the highest level of club soccer have less than satisfactory outcome. This study uses player performance and decision making data to estimate team performance in terms of goal differential and model the effects of team compatibility on player and team performance. In this methodology, players' attributes are assessed with respect to the potential contribution to team performance, given the attributes of surrounding players. The study is using a semi-Markov decision process to model game flow. Performance data from the English Premier League between seasons 2008/2009 and 2011/2012 is used to predict the outcome of 69 transfers. The model provides an average error of 7.86 in predicting teams' goal differential in a season with current squad and 18.91 in estimating the effect of a future transfer on team performance.
