Introduction
Literature overview
From the Paper:
"A central aim in psychology has been the establishment of a comprehensive and applicable model that can adequately describe human personality as well as human personality disorders. To this end, there are a number of models that are vying for prominence in the field. One of the most successful and well accepted of these models is the five-factor model of personality or FFM. This theory posits five different variables that constitute a conceptual mode for describing human personality. These are Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism."Sample of Sources Used:
