Big Five Personality Test

The Big Five personality test is a widely accepted personality test theory. The Big Five personality test, also known as the OCEAN personality test, is based on the Big Five model that defines human personality as the combination of 5 personality traits or factors – Openness, Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, Extraversion and Neuroticism (making the acronym – OCEAN). The Big Five personality test is based on a continuum wherein individuals are ranked on a scale between two extreme ends.

The Big Five personality test describes people based on their standing on five broad personality traits. The Big Five personality test is commonly used in the corporate world as it is known to predict important job-related outcomes, such as job performance, a person’s potential for burnout, his/her trainability and subsequent job satisfaction.
