Big Five Personality Model

The Big Five personality test is currently the most accepted personality model within the scientific community. In the 1950s, it emerged from the work of multiple different researchers who all obtained similar results when studying personality through each of their own methods. My results, which are based on the personality traits highlighted within the Big Five personality test, are as follows: my extroversion results were moderately high. This results suggests that, at times, I tend to be overly talkative, outgoing, sociable. My orderliness results showed to be moderately high as well. This suggests that I tend to be an organized, neat, and structured person throughout my daily life. My emotional stability results were low. This suggests that I tend to worry too often. According to my results, I tend to be overly insecure, emotional and anxious. My accommodation results were moderately low. This suggests that, at times, I can be overly selfish, uncooperative and difficult to work with, especially in groups.

After taking the Big Five Personality Assessment, I was able to decode certain aspects of my personality and analyze whether different strengths and weaknesses. One strength I found was me openness to experience. Being open to others and their ideas has broadened my horizons. I have found that I have so much to learn from others. Whether their ideas are positive or negative, they provide feedback which overall has increased my communication skills. This is a recent strength for me. With prior companies, change was delivered as bad news, we were not taught to work with our peers but rather compete. With my new company I am experiencing the opposite side of the spectrum. I am encouraged to communicate with anyone needed, regardless of

The five-factor model (FFM) is a contemporary construct describing personality. It incorporates five traits – openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism also referred to as OCEAN. Within each dimension, there are specific personality attributes, for example, openness includes subcategories of feelings and actions. The FFM was influenced by Cattell’s 16-factor model (1957) and shares traits with many other personality theories such as Eysenck’s PEN model. There has been an ongoing debate discussing how many factors appropriately represent the brain structure of personality, suggestions have varied from 2-7, recently Almagor et al. (1995) advocated that a 7-factor model unfolds when evaluative traits are involved. Costa & Mcrae (1992) claim that the FFM is the best theory of personality, however, the model has received much criticism. Through examining different aspects of the model its credibility can be explored.

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) is a test for people who are under suspicion for having any mental health problem. This test can not be found online and only can be taken under professional supervision, and the results can only be interpreted by the physiologist giving the test. I personally think that the test should be taken that way and not available online so people do not diagnose themselves then get false results. There is three versions of the test itself MMPI-2, MMPI-2-RF, and the MMPI-A. MMPI-2 is a test that has 567 true or false questions, then the MMPI-2-RF which is a newer, faster, and more widely used by physiologist. Last the MMPI-A is used more for teenagers. The MMPI-2 test is made up into 10 scales which

The Big Five is a personality test based off the FFM (five factor model) which looks at the five core traits people have. The test looks at openness to new experiences, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism and their opposites. It scales the individual to see what trait they are more likely to have based of how they act on a regular basis.

After taking the Big 5 Personality inventory exam I have discover quite a lot about myself. From greatest to least my scores fell as followed; Agreeableness (34), Conscientiousness (32), Extroversion (30), Openness to Experience (29), and Neuroticism (25). Viewing my scores and reflecting on them I have made many discoveries and revelations about my personality that I had never considered before. Each one of the scores told me something different about myself.
