It is not the most respected model, but for sure most pushed in the past 20 years into the throats of psychologists... In reality is a rather useless test... They took 2 scales from temperament research, 1 scale from intelligence research and 2 from social compliance characteristics, a bit here, a bit there... So poor model but advertised using all social power of McCrae and Costa, simply was pushed onto the market... Results - thousands were tested with rather empty outcomes, and predictive power is very weak, it can predict only what people already know. Big Five was used by Cambridge Analytica using the Facebook and dating agencies, to collect massive samples, without any consent of participants... Not very professional... But very efficient to promote the academic career of Big5-vers...
