The Big Five Personality Traits

The concept of the "Big Five" personality traits is taken from psychology and
includes five broad domains that describe personality. The Big Five personality
traits are openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and
neuroticism.
These five factors are assumed to represent the basic structure behind all
personality traits. They were defined and described by several different
researchers during multiple periods of research.
Employees are sometimes tested on the Big Five personality traits in
collaborative situations to determine what strong personality traits they can add to
a group dynamic.
Businesses need to understand their people as well as their operations and
processes. Understanding the personality components that drive the employee
behavior is a very useful informational data point for management.

The Myers-Briggs Personality Types

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment is a questionnaire that
measures the psychological preferences that influence how people perceive the
world and make decisions. The MBTI sorts psychological differences into four
opposite pairs, resulting in 16 possible personality types.
None of these types are good or bad; however, Briggs and Myers theorized that
societies as a whole naturally prefer one overall type.
The four type preferences are Extraversion vs. Introversion, Sensing vs. Intuition,
Thinking vs. Feeling, and Judgment vs. Perception. One possible classification of
a personality type could be ESTJ: extraversion (E), sensing (S), thinking (T),
judgment (J).
Myers-Briggs tests are frequently used in the areas of career counseling, team
building, group dynamics, professional development, marketing, leadership
training, executive coaching, life coaching, personal development, marriage
counseling, and workers' compensation claims.

Other Important Trait Theories

Some important personality trait theories are: Gordon Allport's dispositions, Hans
Eysenck's three fundamental traits and Michael Aston and Kibeom Lee's sixdimensional HEXACO model of personality structure.
Gordon Allport's disposition theory includes cardinal traits, central traits, and
secondary traits. Cardinal traits dominate an individual's behavior, central traits
are common to all individuals, and secondary traits are peripheral.
Hans Eysenck rejected the idea that there are "tiers" of personality traits,
theorizing instead that there are just three traits that describe human personality:
extroversion, neuroticism, and psychoticism.
The HEXACO model of personality identifies six factors of personality: Honesty,
Emotionality, Extroversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness to
Experience.
