Introduction

The Big Five Personality Test (also known as the five factor model, or FFM for short) is a personality model derived from common language descriptors. The model emerged from the work of several Personality Psychologists operating largely independently during the early 1990’s.

The Big Five is named after the five general groupings of traits that make up one’s personality. Namely Openness, Conscientiousness, Extravesion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism.

    Your score falls in a mild or lower-middle range. Consider the result alongside your current context.
