Big Five personality traits

I think about it with the phrase, don't teach me the data, help me use it.

Tally's profiling is based around established personality science, including the Big Five model, with additional dimensions around risk behaviour and emotional intelligence.

I'm not going to spend this episode teaching you the Big Five, because interestingly, Peter doesn't think you should have to learn it either.

That was one of the comments from our conversation that really landed with me.

The manager doesn't necessarily care what a particular score means academically.

We have covered these before on the show.

They're called the big five personality traits.

Sometimes they're known by the acronym OCEAN, but for Michael...

I'm Canadian, so the acronym I like is CANOO.

I'm definitely stealing that.

And we're going to lay out how these personality styles, which all of us have some of these and not all, may put you at risk for a narcissistic relationship, how your personality style may affect your experience in a narcissistic relationship, and how your particular personality styles may affect your healing process.

now there are internet versions of the tests that give you these results some of them have been called the ocean test online some are called the big five these are rough versions they're not the real thing the real thing is called the neo-pir you can only get that through a licensed psychologist but there are ways to get this online if you choose you don't have to though this particular personality test measures normal personality and not the more maladaptive personality styles like narcissism think of these as a spectrum right for any of these if you have a low score you're low in that particular personality trait high high your high score you're high in it and And the middle, which is where most of us are in many of these, kind of like tells us, kind of gives you a moderate level, sort of normal level of that functioning.

And we're going to break this down as we talk about these traits.

Every one of us though has one of these that is sort of our highest of the five.

Every way, I work on it.

So I figured we'd bring Danielle on to talk about first the big five personality traits and also how do you even begin to figure out what personality traits does your boss have? So let's go over the traits, shall we? Yes, let's.

All right.

So I remember them by ocean.

In my perception, it is not a question of nature versus nature, but of nurture and nurture.

I'm a strong believer in the Big Five and at the same time a strong believer, as well as an expert by experience, in the role that upbringing and family structure plays in our development as leaders.

Given the fact that we cannot change our DNA, that makes our need to analyze the impact our upbringing and family structure played in our development more important than ever.

The best book I ever read about this topic was Rewriting Your Leadership Code by Slow Mo Ben Hur and Nick Kinley.

this video before this is an important one and so go ahead and skip ahead if you want just to the meat of the video but if you're new to this series you may want to listen to this first part so in this series on your personality and narcissistic abuse we're going to take on the big five personality traits neuroticism which we've talked about extroversion welcome agreeableness openness and conscientiousness And there's even going to be a little bonus video on a personality style I don't think we talk about enough.

You just have to keep staying tuned for that.

But we're going to lay out how these styles may put you at risk for a narcissistic relationship, how your particular personality style may affect your experience in a narcissistic relationship, and how your personality style may even affect your healing process.

Now, there are internet versions of this big five test.

Some of them you might find out there are called the ocean test.

Some are called the big five.

They are rough versions.

They're not the real thing, which you can only get through a licensed psychologist.

Yeah.

So the easiest way to remember the five personality traits is by the word OCEAN.

So the first personality trait is openness, followed by conscientiousness, followed by extraversion, agreeableness, and finally, neuroticism.

All right.

So write OCEAN on the far side of your piece of paper.

Mm-hmm.

And get ready, 'cause we're gonna do high and low for each trait.
