Measurement framework / 01
Personality is dimensional. Your report should be too.
SHYFT uses the Five Factor Model to examine broad personality domains and the specific facets beneath them. The result is a profile, not a type, label, or prediction.
Conscientiousness
Conscientiousness describes the tendency to be organised, dependable, goal-directed, and deliberate rather than spontaneous and flexible.
Extraversion
Extraversion describes sociability, assertiveness, activity level, and the tendency to experience positive emotion and seek stimulation.
Agreeableness
Agreeableness describes compassion, trust, honesty, humility, and the preference for cooperation over competition.
Neuroticism
Neuroticism (the inverse of emotional stability) describes the tendency to experience negative emotions — anxiety, irritation, low mood, self-consciousness — and how strongly stress registers.
