Big Five (OCEAN model)
Costa & McCrae · 1985
What it is
Scientific model of personality in five dimensions: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism.
Method
It describes stable differences between people on five measurable axes. It serves as a realistic contrast to symbolic typologies.
Molino's review
Unlike the symbolic systems, the Big Five is statistically validated. It isn't a zodiac system, but it's the honest scientific reference for what we actually measure about personality.
