The Big Five Factor 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.

As mentioned in (Lussier, R. N., & Achua, C. F. 2013 Pg. 37). The Big Five Model of Personality gives traits of an effective leaders which are surgency, agreeableness, adjustment, conscientious and openness to experience. My organization wants these traits to be imbibed in its employees.

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 Five Factor model uses the following traits: neuroticism, extraversion, and agreeableness, openness and conscientiousness to rate someone’s traits on a scale of effectiveness as a leader. Each trait is explained below:

The Five Factor Model (FFM) has been the dominant dimensions of personality. According to Big Five model, there are five dimensions including Extroversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Emotional Stability, and Openness to stability. The impact of those dimensions on employee interaction within the team will be illustrated as follows.

The factors of the Big Five are neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness and conscientiousness (Schultz, 2015, p. 231).

As we huddle close together like penguins trying to stay warm for the winter inside a small compacted elevator, the music plays at a low peaceful tone. Standing inside an elevator with five other strangers we continue to avoid eye contact at all costs to suspend judgment. Placing our hands behind our back, gripping the railings that line the elevator walls all the while moving closer to the corner of the elevator to avoid all physical contact is something the average human being does. As for my mother, she reacts completely different.

The Five Factor Model, which utilizes the following Big five personality traits: Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism, is used to interpret an individual’s personality. It has been said that you can look at a person’s territory, whether it be their bedroom or any other space that only they inhabit, and use the Five Factor Model to judge what their personality may be like from their personal spaces. Room A and Room B are the two spaces I will be using to describe the personality that belongs to each of the occupants. Starting with Room A, judging from the bright green walls along with the colorful comforter, pillows, and decorated laptop, I would say that they are an outgoing person who would score rather high in Extraversion and Openness. Along with the vibrant colors, there are many things that are put on display, including books, art, little knick knacks, all of which are organized and everything seems to have a rightful place. Additionally, here are two laundry baskets which add to the feeling of a highly organized environment. Having an organized room points towards them possessing high Conscientiousness because this level of coordination indicates that they are determined and have a strong will to succeed. All the components of the room I have already mentioned also tell me that this person’s space shows them as an individual high in Agreeableness. The room gives off a warm vibe that’s open and sincere, just like the person the room

To understand personality there are three main aspects that must be looked at: LArsen and Buss Definition of personality, The Six Domains of knowledge of personality, and Costa and McCrae's Five Factor Theory. In this essay I will first break down larsen and Buss definition and connect it to the domains, then connect the domains to the five factor thoery (FFT).

The Big Five model uses five broad dimensions to determine personality. Using this model, individuals are rated low, moderate, or high in relation to their propensity to exhibit the dimensions of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to experience (Kinicki & Kreitner, 2006). The characteristics of an individual who scores positively in the extraversion dimension are sociable, friendly, fun-loving, and talkative (John, 2009). Positive ratings in agreeableness reflect that an individual is good natured, sympathetic, forgiving and courteous (John, 2009). Dependable, responsible and persistent are characteristics of a

These results from the study suggest that extraversion is the most important trait of leaders and effective leadership since it is more strongly related to leader emergence than to leader effectiveness and explains why this trait facets are predictive measure for predicting leadership. Openness to Experience is the most controversial and least understood due to creativity and sociopolitical attitudes and its unreliability to applies criteria. The Big Five traits predicted leader emergence slightly better than leadership effectiveness, but the rank order of the traits’ influence on leadership varied. The Big Five traits predicted student leadership better than leadership in business and government or military settings. This study’s meta-analysis results show that Extraversion, Conscientiousness, Openness, and Neuroticism are useful traits that relate to leadership, which give validation for the five-factor model significance in leadership research. There are situational factors that moderate the validity of personality in predicting leadership, which is why the literature on various leadership theories gives suggestions for moderators of the leadership traits effectiveness. This study was not the first meta-analysis to examine the relationship between personality traits and leadership, but it does advance knowledge beyond Lord et al, but leadership criteria became perceptual in nature and distinguished leader emergence from leadership effectiveness from this study

The five factor model presents the different personality of an individual’s behavior in an organization. A person’s personality helps the manager in understanding the behavior of that person in the work place and how well they may fit in the organization. The big five personality traits are:
