Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The five-factor model, also known as the Big Five personality traits, is now the most widely accepted personality theory in contemporary psychology. It has gained prominence over Eysenck's theories in recent years. Maslow's idea of self-actualization and neo-Freudian ego models, while still influential, are not considered direct competitors to Eysenck's theories. Cattell's 15 factor model, while significant, is not as widely accepted as the Big Five.
