Who was responsible for the development of the Five-Factor Model of Personality („Big Five”)?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks: Who was responsible for the development of the Five-Factor Model of Personality (the Big Five)?
Option 1: 'Lewis Goldberg' — This is the historically correct attribution. Goldberg played a pivotal role in promoting and validating the Big Five framework, contributing to its popularization and advancing methodological work in trait psychology.
Option 2: 'Raymond Cattell' — While Cattell was a prominent figure in personality psychology and developed the 16PF questionnaire, his work predates the widespread adoption of the Five-Factor Model and he is not credited with developing the Big Five.
Option 3: 'Hans Eysenck' — Eysenck is known for his theories of personality dimensions (PEN model: Psychoticism, Extraversion, Neuroticism) and research on personality, but he did not develop the Five-Factor Model as such; his work is separate from the Big Five framework.
Option 4: 'Carl Gustav Jung' — Jung proposed foundational ideas about personality types and later influenced the development of type theories, yet he did not contribute to the Five-Factor Model; the Big Five emerged much later from lexical studies and factor analyses.
In summary, the Big Five formulation and advocacy are most closely associated with Lewis Goldberg, distinguishing his role from the other listed figures who contributed to personality theory in different ways or time periods.
