Personality Inventory
Personal factors may affect Samantha’s performance. There are two related,
but conceptually distinct five-factor models, although many psychologists refer to the two
interchangeably. I don’t think Samantha’s personality test suggests that she will be a
successful manager Costa and McCrae's "OCEAN model" is based on factor analyses of
questionnaires. It is hierarchical, in that the five factors are derived from factor analyses
of lower-order facets. Goldberg's "Big Five," by contrast, are based primarily on factor
The Big Five in the lexical tradition, most vigorously advocated by Goldberg
and colleagues, are based upon the lexical hypothesis: that those individual differences
that are most salient and socially relevant will come to be encoded into the natural
language. Therefore, the Big Five are based upon factor analyses of all (or a large
unabridged dictionary. The Big Five are meant to provide a comprehensive description of
phenotypic personality traits. They are not necessarily meant to have a biological basis.
Factors in Management
Samantha May or may not be a good Manager. Thus, Managers are in charge of
employees. Samantha may have a low performing employee. This employee may affect
the department as a whole. This factor may affect Samthas promotion as a Store Manager.
Could be promoted to a department. She has to prove she can manage her personal issues,
before being promoted. She may receive a promotion through a Job Analysis. Through
observation, she may be chosen for that particular promotion. This model is very
important for executives, to identify personal traits about managers and or employees.
In closing, Goldberg's Big Five, unlike Costa and McCrae's OCEAN model are
not hierarchical. Instead, each pair of Goldberg's factors forms a circle in two-
Circumflex, or AB5C (Hofstee, de Raad, & Goldberg, 1992). Pairs of factors form a
circle because many items (usually adjectives) have large correlations, or "loadings," on
two factors, rather than just one. The loadings are used as x- and y-coordinates to
determine the item's angular location in two-dimensional space. Once its angular location
is determined, the item is projected onto the perimeter of a circle. Items have been
generated that represent all possible "blends" of pairs of the Big Five factors. Proponents
of the circular Big Five model claim that there are many interstitial items, not that each
group of items forms a circumflex. However, the first two Big Five factors map onto the
program. She was supposed to receive a printout of her results but got only the first page
of the packet. This page indicated that she scored moderately high in Openness to
Experience and Agreeableness, very high in Conscientiousness and Extraversion, and low
in Neuroticism. However, the page offered no analysis of these findings because the
