Frequently asked questions
What is the Big Five?
It is the most widely accepted personality model in scientific psychology. It describes personality with five traits everyone has to some degree: openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism (emotional instability).
Is there a good or bad result?
No. Each trait has advantages at both ends: people low in extraversion often focus better alone, and people high in agreeableness may find it hard to say no. The test is a curiosity and does not replace a psychological assessment.
