Big Five Personality Assessment (OCEAN Model)
📋 About the Big Five
The Big Five personality model (also called OCEAN or Five-Factor Model) is the most scientifically validated framework for understanding human personality. Unlike type-based systems, the Big Five measures five continuous dimensions: Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism (OCEAN). Extensively used in academic psychology, organizational research, and clinical settings, the Big Five is considered the gold standard for personality assessment in scientific research and is increasingly adopted by employers seeking valid selection tools.
