What is Personality?
The dynamic organization within the individual of those psychophysical systems that determine his unique adjustments to his environment. - Gordon Allport.
– The sum total of ways in which an individual reacts and interacts with others, the measurable traits a person exhibits
Measuring Personality– Helpful in hiring decisions– Most common method: self-reporting surveys– Observer-ratings surveys provide an independent
assessment of personality – often better predictors
What is the Big Five?
Personality Traits or Personality Dimensions An integration of personality research that
represents the various personality descriptions in one common framework.
Individual differences in social and emotional life organized into a five-factor model of personality
“broad abstract level and each dimension summarized a larger number of … personality characteristics”.

LIMITATION
LIMITED SCOPEthe Big Five does not explain all of human personality, the five factors are not independent.
METHODOLOGICAL ISSUES
solutions may be viable in a single dataset, only the five factor structure consistently replicates across different studies
THEORETICAL STATUSit is merely an empirical(OBSERVATION) ,the scope of Big Five as an explanatory or predictive theory.
CRITICS
How Do the Big Five Traits Predict Behavior? Research has shown this to be a better framework. Certain traits have been shown to strongly relate to
higher job performance:– Highly conscientious people develop more job
knowledge, exert greater effort, and have better performance.
– Other Big Five Traits also have implications for work.• Emotional stability is related to job satisfaction.• Extroverts tend to be happier in their jobs and have good
social skills.• Open people are more creative and can be good leaders.• Agreeable people are good in social settings.
