What is the Narrative Big Five?
The Narrative Big Five Assessment and Report are based on the Five Factor Model of Personality. The model’s beginnings date back to the 1930’s and, where most personality assessments such as the DISC or MBTI are based on psychological theory, the Five Factor Model is based on empirical data.
Narrative has developed it’s own proprietary Big Five Assessment, based on the Five Factor Model, which measures five super traits (Resilience, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness) as well as 23 sub-traits.
For teams
When we learn about our teammates’ personalities, behavior, and motivations, we’re
better able to communicate and form diverse, inclusive, and high-performance teams.
The Narrative Big Five Assessment also aides in team optimization whereby teams can be
organized for the optimal personality trait mix based on set goals or work to be accomplished. This method of team development results in teams that are engaged, efficient, and high-performing.
For individuals
Understanding the Narrative Big Five Assessment helps individuals with self-awareness and provides a common language to discuss behavioral and personality differences. By leveraging The Narrative Big Five Assessment individuals not only learn about themselves but can also learn to pick up on personality differences in others, thereby improving understanding and communication. When confronted with an individual on the opposite end of the “spectrum” it’s natural that conflicts may arise; however, simply understanding these various personality traits can smooth tension and help people learn how to work better together by leveraging their respective strengths.
For HR & hiring professionals
The Narrative Big Five Assessment is an incredibly valuable tool in the hiring process as it allows you to profile the job using the assessment to determine the appropriate personality traits, then assess candidates against that target profile. While a candidate’s resume, the interview process and other tools are still essential, the Narrative Big Five Assessment assists in determining great fit. With this method you gain deep insights into exactly what characteristics are ideal for the role and have the tools that help you select the right candidate with the appropriate mix of personality traits.
