Five Factor Personality Theory, explained #shorts

Economist Tyler Cowen on understanding human behavior using psychology.

The biggest thing that has helped me with my business is realizing that people are people not numbers! You have to listen to them and work with them.

My daughter has a T-shirt that said, "Jars are for pickles and I am not a jar."

Agree. Personality is nuanced. Im pretty outgoing around likeminded people but around people i have nothing in common with i'm realky quiet

20 years ago when I worked at a large Wells Fargo headquarters, they personality tested us at least 3 different ways in the 3 years I was there. When they got to the color one, I opted out due to religious beliefs; I showed the dir. that if you put the words "color" and "personality" in the Amazon book search box, it brought up books primarily in the Occult category. I opted out of the animal association test as well.

I've seen so much victim mentality with Myers Briggs. It's heartbreaking the self-inflicted isolation, oppression and gaslighting.

[simonesmit]

I agree. In tests I always come out as an extreme introvert, but in interactions most people think I'm an extrovert.

I find them useful because as an INTJ, I don’t understand or relate to most people very well. When I understand a person’s perfected communication style, I can work with them much more effectively. People that don’t like catagorization are usually feelers and people persons. I am neither

Thanks for explaining it very simple and understandable ❤❤

Problem is, lay people (i.e. persons who don't have a degree in psychology) have no idea how to differentiate between a good and a bad test, and have no idea how good tests were developed and tested (c.f. validity, reliability, objectivity).

In the last decades, modern psychology has said goodbye to simple categorical personae type models, thus the mentioned Big-5-model (a so called dimensional model in contrast to the old categorical models) gives a much much better representation of a person as a whole. Unfortunately, the model is widely misunderstood or misused. To describe a person akin to the model, you have to
a) use all 5 dimensions (i.e. extraversion, openness etc.) AND
b) take a look, how low or how high the person scored on each dimension.

It's never black and white, it's always a grayish conglomerate.

Furthermore, the 5 dimensions were not just made up (like in a bad test with questions drawn from thin air), but were the end product of a very, very long process of testing and aggregation.

OCEAN is super useful and scientifically tested. It doesn't tell you everything about a person, but it can tell you a lot.

Simple categorization promotes psychobabble.

[L.I.T.H.I.U.M]

My problem with these tests are the questions. They're always too simple and vague.

[TheAngiepangie]

The Big 5 is the only empirically backed personality assessment, isn’t it?

[jaykubisanidiot]

Yup... Everyone is only a combination of those 5 things

[simbad]

There's psychology and there's manipulation

[sallyreim]

Exactly right. We are infinitely diverse.

[dalerohling]

I’ll never hire someone who is deemed “agreeable”. Do you agree?

[nuqwestr]

HEXACO six-factor personality model, the personality is best described by six dimensions. These are: Honesty-humility, Emotionality, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness and Openness to experience.

[SameAsAnyOtherStranger]

It's called the OCEAN model. How can that go without saying? I'm seeing more and more content that states well founded ideas in a form stripped of it's generally accepted context to seem like it's some new idea.
