Big Five
Safari's top targets
Big Five typically names a recognized grouping of five dominant entities.
In wildlife, it refers to Africa's premier game animals: lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros, and Cape buffalo.
In business, it has denoted the largest firms in various industries—accounting, banking, publishing, or tech.
In personality psychology, the Big Five model measures openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism.
The Big Five personality assessment is widely used in hiring. (Lowercase big five is the generic form.)
