The Big Five (OCEAN) model
The most scientifically validated personality model in psychology. Used in thousands of peer-reviewed studies since the 1980s.
The five dimensions
- Openness: Curiosity, creativity, preference for novelty vs routine
- Conscientiousness: Organization, discipline, goal-directed behavior
- Extraversion: Sociability, energy from others, assertiveness
- Agreeableness: Cooperation, trust, empathy for others
- Neuroticism: Emotional instability, anxiety, mood swings
Research facts
- Big Five traits are 40-60% heritable (twin studies, Jang et al. 1996)
- Conscientiousness is the strongest predictor of job performance
- Personality shifts with age: agreeableness and conscientiousness rise, neuroticism drops
- The Big Five is cross-culturally valid in 50+ countries
