We use the Big Five Model, also known OCEAN Model, as it is one of the most scientifically proven models of personality.

It covers five basic human personality traits (regardless of language or culture) derived from a statistical analysis of traits that co-occur in people’s descriptions of themselves or other people.

Behavioral genetics research has established that BIG 5 traits have a nearly 50% genetic influence.

Openness - 57%

Conscientiousness – 49%

Extraversion – 54%

Agreeableness – 42%

Neuroticism – 48%
