Ocean 5 (The Big Five) Assessment
Understand Yourself Better Through the Big Five Personality Model
Openness
Openness tells you how curious an individual is, if they are willing to try new things and if they are a creative thinker. Low scores indicate conventional behaviour, a conservative outlook and a preference for the familiar.
The Big Five personality assessment, often referred to as the OCEAN model, measures an individual's personality traits along five dimensions: Openness to experience, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. It's a widely used tool in psychology and business to understand personality and its impact on behavior.
Conscientiousness
Assess the extent to which a person shows strong determination and displays precision, punctuality, and reliability. Low scores are associated with being less organized, less exacting in their work and more relaxed in working towards their goals.
Agreeableness
Identify the degree to which an individual will want to help others, be sympathetic, and believe that others will do the same. Low scores indicate a willingness to fight for one’s own interests, scepticism and a critical nature.
Extraversion
Evaluate if a person is sociable, likes people, and enjoys large gatherings. High scorers tend to be assertive, talkative, active and cheerful. Low scores suggest the individual is more reserved, independent and even-paced.
Non-Negativity
Measure the degree to which the individual is emotionally stable, calm, can manage stress and has a positive outlook. Low scores indicate less ability to control impulses, worrying behaviors and a pessimistic outlook.
Unbiased Hiring
Make quick, objective and science-backed hiring decisions that focus on long term staff retention and engagement.
