The Five Factor Model (FFM) and Personality Disorders

This is the same concept that’s talked about in the DSM Alternate Model for PDs. This table shows the FFM traits that each PD has. Bold traits are high in that domain (e.g. Vengefulness is high in Neuroticism) & italic traits are low in that domain (e.g. Joylessness is low in Extraversion).

Effects of psilocybin therapy on personality structure

Neuroticism scores significantly decreased while Extraversion increased following psilocybin therapy. These changes were in the direction of the normative NEO‐PI‐R data and were both predicted, in an exploratory analysis, by the degree of insightfulness experienced during the psilocybin session. Openness scores also significantly increased following psilocybin, whereas Conscientiousness showed trend‐level increases, and Agreeableness did not change

Sexual Orientation and Openness to Experience

so i had this pet theory that bisexuality would correlate positively with high openness to experience on the five factor OCEAN personality model, and it turns out I was right. Take-aways: gay and lesbian people tend to have higher openness to experience than purely heterosexual people, bisexuals have higher openness to experience than both. I mean: it makes sense right?

Five Factor Model

Respond to the following in a minimum of 375 words:

An individual’s personality is quite complex and can be influenced by a number of elements. One of these elements is culture.

Consider the Five Factor Model mentioned in Ch. 10 of Culture and Personality. What are some of the individual personality characteristics that may be influenced by culture? What is the role of culture in these…

Thief (1981)

spoile warning

Just watched Thief. Wow! The hero, he... is this individualistic, high-commitment, conscientious, vengeful, take-no-fucking-prisoners type, in a criminal world of careless, disorderly psychopaths. And he fucking WINS! Oh yes... aaahhh, justice, at last!

@akhromant: That McCrae & Costa text is precisely the one linked in the comment as praising the MBTI: “correlational analyses showed that the four MBTI indices did measure aspects of four of the five major dimensions of normal personality.” It’s weird you say it’s “unvalidated”.

But anyway, my interest is not in the “tests”, which I don’t even like. What I’m saying is that there’s something behind the dimensions measured by the models: the functions that Jung discovered. It might not be easy to capture them with tests and so on.

erm. no. that paper is not linked in the comment; the comment has taken a quote out of 25 pages, and out of context. if you wanna talk about quotes from that paper, how about reading even the first part of its discussion:

The results of the present study provide the basis for a very mixed evaluation—-or a radical reinterpretation—of the MBTI. Consistent with much previous research (especially Stricker & Ross, 1964a), the study found no support for the typological theory the instrument is intended to embody. There was no evidence that preferences formed true dichotomies, the 16 types did not appear to be qualitatively distinct, because analyses of then-joint effects on personality dimensions showed that only 1 of 55 interactions was significant, and only in women, and, contrary to hypothesis, the theoretically dominant function was no more clearly preferred than the auxiliary. The Jungian prediction that opposing functions should be developed in later life was not confirmed using the MBTI. The correlates of individual scales were consistent with their item content, but would probably not have been predicted from Jungian theory. From the perspective of construct validation, the MBTI appears to have very serious problems. Weighing the evidence to date, the MBTI does not seem to be a promising instrument for measuring Jung's types, those who embrace Jung's theory should probably avoid the MBTI.

Conversely, those who have found the MBTI to be a useful instrument for assessing and describing individual differences should seriously consider abandoning Jungian theory and some of the associated language. Yet how can the MBTI be interpreted or employed without reference to Jung's psychological types? One alternative is to adopt the perspective of the five-factor model of personality.

..and it goes on.

and im not even talking about tests either; im talking about the theory. this paper that you’re using to argue for mbti even says that the theory’s bad! it says the tests correlate better with the big five than the theory does! it’s pretty easy to capture traits with tests, but the system is meaningless if the theory is bunk.

specifically:

Regardless of the instrument used, information given to laypersons should reflect current knowledge in personality psychology. If the MBTI is used, evidence to date suggests that it may be better to abandon its Jungian framework and reinterpret the MBTI in terms of the five-factor model.
