Document Summary
-ipip-neo (goldberg, johnson, eber, hogan, ashton, cloninger and gough, 2006) Ipip neo is an open system allowing general people to study the five factor. Every trait is present in all people in some degree and they appear in a continuum. Usuallu trait degree can be used to explain each person. So, we can compare and know if you have more or less from other people. On any 5 traits, you"ll be given a number,. It has no intrinsic meaning unless there is something to compare it to. They are fundamentally only useful to compare people. Traits are typically bipolar: there is an anchor at the two ends of the continuum. Example: depression measure: a measure in a unipolar scale. Nipolar scale works from zero and goes up. So , atrait may range from introverted from one end to extroversion on the other end; from kind one end to cruel on the other end.
