Big 5

Five dominant traits

The Big 5 refers to five personality traits that psychologists use to describe human personality: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism.

The model dominates personality research and assessment: The job screening included a Big 5 inventory.

In African safari contexts, the Big Five are the lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and Cape buffalo—historically the most dangerous animals to hunt on foot.
