Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 'Big Five' personality dimensions, also known as the Five-Factor Model, represent the aggregated clusters representing most known personality traits. They include openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. While they may be desirable traits in a job applicant, they do not represent all personality traits needed for an ideal job applicant. These traits are also considered to be a mix of both hereditary and environmental factors.
