Summary

There is little doubt that the Five-Factor Model (FFM) of personality traits (the “Big Five”) is currently the dominant paradigm in personality research and one of the most influential models in all of psychology. Digman’s 1990 review on the topic has become one of the most highly cited articles in the history of the Annual Review of Psychology, with over 8,500 citations. Barrick and Mount’s 1991 meta-analysis of job performance and the FFM – itself cited 11,000 times – brought personality back into the mainstream of Industrial/Organizational Psychology. The FFM has led to novel and compelling reformulations of the personality disorders that have influenced DSM-V (Widiger & Trull, 2007). Cross-cultural collaborations have shown the universality of the FFM and demonstrated pervasive fallacies in national character stereotypes (Terracciano et al., 2005). Social Psychologist Harry Reis (personal communication, April 24, 2006) characterized the FFM as “the most scientifically rigorous taxonomy that behavioral science has,” and for his research on the FFM, Paul Costa was selected by the Division of General Psychology of the American Psychological Association to present the 2004 Arthur W. Staats Lecture for Contributions towards Unifying Psychology.
