The Big Five model, also known as the OCEAN model of personality traits, is a cornerstone in the landscape of personality research, offering a comprehensive framework for understanding human behavior and temperament. This model breaks down personality into five broad dimensions:

  • [O]penness (creativity and curiosity)
  • [C]onscientiousness (organization and dependability)
  • [E]xtraversion (sociability and enthusiasm)
  • [A]greeableness (compassion and cooperation)
  • [N]euroticism (emotional stability and resilience)

These dimensions encapsulate the vast complexity of human personality into manageable categories, making the Big Five a universally recognized and empirically validated personality model across cultures. Its dominance in the field comes from its ability to predict life outcomes such as job performance, relationship satisfaction, and even health-related behaviors.

Understanding these traits can help us navigate personal growth, improve our interactions with others, and make informed choices that align with our inherent dispositions. In essence, the OCEAN model offers a lens through which we can better understand the complexities of human personality in everyday life.

What you get

Your results, and their limits

As soon as you finish

You see your score on each scale the test measures, together with a short note on what that scale refers to and how to read the number. There is no charge.

Scores are read against adults generally. That is the one comparison group held for this test, so a score places you among adults as a whole rather than among people of your age, occupation or country.

What it will not tell you

It is not a diagnosis and not a clinical assessment. It will not tell you whether you are suited to a particular job or course, and a score is not a verdict on you.

Results depend on how carefully and honestly you answer. If a result concerns you, or you are struggling, speak to a doctor or a licensed psychologist. Terms of use.
