Sorry to disappoint, but that's impossible.

Socialization is an ambiguous, imprecise activity that demands infinitely many judgements, inferences, and preconceived rules & goals.

What can be interpreted as "jerk" behavior can also be caused by "dork" behavior, and vice-versa.

A joke at someone's expense might be expressing affinity for them or dissing them.

Adopting ebonics speech and tone in one context maybe in-group acceptable in one context, but insulting in another.

Ultimately, the algorithms need enough trial-and-error socializing experience to become, for lack of a better term, cool.
