"The Big Five model is a very big deal to psychologists, and has been for decades. At the moment, it is the most respected, widely studied method for accomplishing the tricky task of summing up someone’s personality.

It consists of five dimensions, and as the University of Oregon social psychologist Sanjay Srivastava explains on his website, each is perhaps best understood as containing a bundle of traits:

Extraversion.  The broad dimension of Extraversion encompasses such more specific traits as talkative, energetic, and assertive.

Agreeableness.  Includes traits like sympathetic, kind, and affectionate.

Conscientiousness.  Includes traits like organized, thorough, and planful.

Neuroticism.  Includes traits like tense, moody, and anxious.

Openness to Experience.  Includes traits like having wide interests, and being imaginative and insightful.

Researchers developed these five dimensions through statistical analysis — they found that people who plan a lot tend to also be organized, for example, and people who are sympathetic also tend to be kind.

These dimensions are mostly stable at the individual level. “If you take a bunch of 20-year-olds and rank them on extraversion, and then wait 20 years and measure them again, you’ll find the people who scored highest at age 20 will tend to be high at age 30,” explained Christopher Soto, a personality psychologist at Colby College. That said, “there are definitely also changes” — people can certainly become more extraverted or less neurotic over their lifespan.

So:

How good a grasp do you think you have on your own personality, in Big Five terms? In the below test, you can find out.

First, you’ll first be asked to rank yourself on each of the Big Five, on a scale of 0 to 100.

Then take a short version of the test, after which the test will reveal how you rank, your approximate percentile relative to the data collected from previous test-takers, and how your score compared to your estimate and to the average score .. ........"

I'll stick with the MBTI test, which has been the accepted educational and corporate standard for decades.

Ok. I thought it would be fun, that's all, not a serious debate.  Looking online both have been used widely and successfully for years and they actually are part of a big debate since they have differences and similarities.  

Just hoping to add a few fun threads to lighten things up,😊

Thanks for posting. 👍

Are both of you in the psychology field?

I thought this would be a nice light change from the serous "heavy" topics but now you got me curious about these 3 kinds of tests.

I'd love to know what you can tell us about these.😊

Thanks!👍

Oh no @Pliqueajour.  I just know of these tests from grad study years ago.  Thank you for sharing this additional test with us.  Please be advised that an error occurs in this thread when opening posts and replying.

          Hi, @itiswhatitis!   I believe what you're seeing is a browser error that shows up sometimes when we're replying to a thread.   It's not a problem with the thread itself but, rather, a compatibility issue between the site and the browser.    I see it quite often with Firefox but not with Chrome.

          Nice thread, @Pliqueajour!   It's a very good test, a refreshing change from the faux "quizzes" we usually see on various sites, and thanks for the intro to that part of the website...  I've never looked at "Science of Us," but I like it!

I don't get any errors here on this thread or any thread right now with my iPad.

thanks @itiswhatitis & @dooBdoo!
