Big Five Personality Test

The bulk of academic research points to five relatively independent personality elements, commonly known as the Big Five. “Only five” in the sense that every other personality trait will have some correlation with one or more of these five key traits. If anyone discovers traits that do not, expect to see a Big Six or higher.

“Independent” means that what you score on one element says relatively little about what you will score on another. Most personality traits are dependent, meaning that what you score on one element will predict, to some degree, how you will score on certain other traits. This is why personality systems with dependent traits are less efficient.

The Global Five personality system is based on these five major elements. The Global Five adaptation of the Big Five consists of Extroversion, Emotional Stability, Orderliness, Accommodation, and Intellect. These elements make up the primary colors of personality; the interaction of the elements in each person yields their overall personality profile.
