Episode 55: The Big 5 Personality Traits – Use This Instead of Rubbish (AKA Myers-Briggs)

Just gonna steal from Wikipedia to define the Big 5:

The Big Five personality traits is a suggested taxonomy, or grouping, for personality traits,^[1] developed from the 1980s onward in psychological trait theory.

Starting in the 1990s, the theory identified five factors by labels, for the US English population, typically referred to as:

• Openness to experience (inventive/curious vs. consistent/cautious)
• Conscientiousness (efficient/organized vs. extravagant/careless)
• Extraversion (outgoing/energetic vs. solitary/reserved)
• Agreeableness (friendly/compassionate vs. critical/rational)
• Neuroticism (sensitive/nervous vs. resilient/confident)

In short, it’s a system that is far more credible than the MBTI (aka Myers-Briggs).
