Summary: By evaluating the five factors in the five-factor model of personality established by Eysenck-Eysenck and Costa-McCrae, we construct a knot model of a human mind in terms of 2-bridge knots so that the knot type of a mind-knot gives the personality. We relate the classification of the self-releasability relations of mind-links to a certain classification of links. The (normal) self-releasability relations for two mind-knots and three mind-knots are classified into 3 relations and 30 relations, respectively.
