where did the big five personality traits come from
Big Five personality traits The Big five personality traits was the model to comprehend the relationship between personality and academic behaviors.[5] This model was defined by several independent sets of researchers.[6] These researchers began by studying relationships between a large number of known personality traits. They reduced the lists of these traits (arbitrarily) by 5â€“10 fold and then used factor analysis to group the remaining traits (using data mostly based upon people's estimations, in self-report questionnaire and peer ratings) in order to find the underlying factors of personality.[7][8][9][10][11]
