This might include affiliation, cooperation, empathy, friendliness, sensitivity, nurturance, tolerance, warmth, trusting, understanding, etc. This might include activity, assertiveness, attention-seeking, gregariousness, sociability, vigor, etc. And each of these five factors of personality includes hundreds if not thousands of personality traits-traits that are slight variations on an underlying theme (Goldberg, 1993).Īfter much research, a general consensus has been reached (at least among the majority of personality psychologists) that there are five higher-order personality traits (Goldberg, 1993). Each of these five factors is on a continuum where each of us has more or less of the five traits. Unfortunately, the research does not support the Myers-Briggs test or the idea of personality types ( Pittenger, 2005).Īfter decades of research, statistical techniques have largely led researchers back to the five-factor model of personality. For example, you might have heard about the Myers-Briggs Personality measure. And still other researchers suggested that there are personality types. Other early theories proposed more or less than five categories of personality. These five categories appear to be the same regardless of whether personality is measured with self-ratings, observer ratings, or peer ratings (Goldberg, 1993). Early statistical analysis of these common adjectives found that they clumped into five categories. Now we view these adjectives to be examples of personality traits. For example, we might say someone is responsible, creative, emotional, or outgoing. But even back then, we still used adjectives to describe people. Not too long ago we didn't even know we had personalities.
