What is The Big Five personality model?

The Big Five personality model, grounded in scientific research, evaluates the core five dimensions of personality. These traits, commonly known as the Big Five, include Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Emotional Stability. This approach is also recognized as the Five-Factor model or the OCEAN model. Its robust scientific foundation makes the Big Five personality test a popular tool for recruitment and personnel selection.

Has your candidate been honest? Find out with Normative-Ipsative split technology®

A modern (adaptive) personality test like The Bridge Personality utilizes both normative and ipsative statements. Normative means that the candidate scores a statement on a scale from one to nine (1 = strongly disagree, 9 = strongly agree). Ipsative, in this context, means that candidates need to rank questions (1 = least applicable to me, 6 = most applicable to me).

By combining normative and ipsative statements, it becomes possible to make socially desirable response behavior and agreeable answers transparent at the level of personality dimensions. With the help of Normative-Ipsative split technology®, The Bridge Personality then makes steering response behavior visible. Normative-Ipsative splits® are indicators in the Bridge Personality Big Five report that can show the degree of steering response behavior at the level of a competency. This allows you to see exactly where a candidate has hesitated or where the candidate has attempted to complete the test in a socially desirable manner. An indispensable tool during the selection of candidates.
