OCEAN: An Evolutionary perspective on The Five Factor Model of Personality

Darren F Magee

The Five Factor Model describes personality using five broad dimensions: Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. These traits are considered to capture the essential elements of human personality.
Professor Ed Dutton, aka The Jolly Heretic, is an Evolutionary Psychology Researcher. In this podcast we discuss the five factor model from an evolutionary perspective, looking at the different traits, the development of personality, how they can change over time, social groups, partner selection etc. Ed also outlines the characteristics of NPD and BPD through the model.
There was so much in our conversation I'll be uploading it in two parts, so stay tuned for more from our discussion.
