Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Big Five is a Big Deal because, out of the major personality inventories floating around, it is the only one that was created empirically, as opposed to the Enneagram and the MBTI. Psychological researchers took major adjectives out of the English dictionary, under the assumption that, if people are a certain way, language should eventually reflect that truth. They then had survey-takers sort all those adjectives into different categories, putting in one pile all the words that meant the same thing. It took a lot of math (trade secret: most of psychology is statistics), but eventually psychologists determined that those adjectives fell into 16 categories, which even more math refined into a basic five. Whether the 16-factor model or the 5-factor one is more accurate is still being debated by academic psychologists today. |
