For this task, you will select five well-known historical individuals (living or deceased) to illustrate the two extremes of the Big Five Model dimensions. Develop a chart that presents where the individual falls for each of the Big Five traits. Then, summarize using examples of the individual’s behavior that supports your analysis.
For example, some people could argue that former President Bill Clinton would score high in extraversion because he seems to draw energy from being surrounded by people while, President Barack Obama would score low because he seems to surround himself with a few trusted friends and family to re-energize.
Select five well-known historical individuals (living or deceased).
Use a chart to determine where each individual falls on the Big Five dimensions.
Provide a brief 1-page summary explaining your analysis for each individual.
Support each summary with at least one scholarly source.
Consider using the following chart example to develop and present your chart:
Length: 5 charts of historic people; and a 1 page summary for each individual listed
Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.
Remember and to help you: A growing body of research has pointed to the five-factor model as a recurrent and more or less comprehensive taxonomy of personality traits. The five-factor model, consists of Neuroticism (N), Extraversion (E), Openness to Experience (O), Agreeableness (A), and Conscientiousness (C). These traits are bipolar dimensions, it is possible that the adjectives in bipolar scales are not true psychological opposites (McCrae & Costa, 1987).
Be sure to carefully review this week’s resources. You are expected to apply the information from these resources when you prepare your assignments.
