Summary / abstract
The OCEAN model, also called the five factor model or big five model, is an important component of modern personality theory in psychology. The model is composed of five main characteristics:
- Openness to experience
- Conscientiousness
- Extraversion
- Agreeableness
- Neuroticism
These characteristics vary from individual to individual and change only slightly over the course of a lifetime. Nevertheless, there are influences on the personality like genes and gender. Of course the character itself affects the environment as well and have an influence on the health, working life and relationship of the individuum. The outcome of an OCEAN model based test can be used in the program or project planning phase to delegate different tasks to the employees that fit the best.
Big idea
Definition of personality
“Personality refers to individual differences in characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving.” (Encyclopedia of psychology; Alan E. Kazdin PhD) Moreover, the definition of personality in psychology is not fixed. There are several theories that attempt to define a person's personality. The OCEAN model is widely used to define traits.
