The Big Five personality model, also known as the Five Factor Model, was created by reducing a large list of adjectives that describe personality traits into five broad dimensions: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. This was achieved through factor analysis of personality-related adjectives found in the dictionary.
