Bryq uses the Five-Factor Model of personality, also known as the "Big 5", to measure critical personality traits that employers may be looking for due to role requirements or company culture. The Big 5's traits include Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism.
These 5 traits are more easily remembered as OCEAN, are Universally accepted as the main parts of a person's personality - in a variation of course. Below, we have outlined each Trait of the Big 5 and how they will be measured during the Bryq assessment.
Do note that like all personality questions, this will cover the most common scenarios, but there will always be exceptions that confirm the rule.
