Big Five Profile

Measure a person's dominant personality traits.

Big Five Profile is a personality assessment measuring five major personality traits based on the Five Factor model. It can be applied to all individuals, including young people.

The Five Factor model is a classical model in psychology and widely recognised as a benchmark in the analysis of personality. It highlights the main personality traits that define and differentiate people from an early age. These traits remain relatively stable throughout a person's lifetime, and are therefore unlikely to change making the Big Five Profile an assessment suitable for individuals of all ages, including adolescents.
