Overview
The Big Five personality traits was the model to comprehend the relationship between
personality and academic behaviors. This model was defined by several independent
sets of researchers. These researchers began by studying relationships between a
large number of known personality traits. They reduced the lists of these traits
(arbitrarily) by 5–10 fold and then used factor analysis to group the remaining traits
(using data mostly based upon people's estimations, in self-report questionnaire and
peer ratings) in order to find the underlying factors of personality.

failed to reach an academic audience until the 1980s. In 1990, J.M. Digman advanced
his five-factor model of personality, which Lewis Goldberg extended to the highest level
