Based on the Five Factor Model credited to Goldberg, Costa and McRae, the Advanced Multidimensional Personality Matrix (Lite) is a shortened version of our comprehensive personality assessment designed to provide valuable insight into the test-taker's character, aptitudes, and disposition. The AMPM is based on the theory that all human personality traits belong to one of five broad dimensions of personality. Using factor analysis, a technique that reduces a set of characteristics into a smaller number of underlying factors, personality psychologists discovered that five recurring factors seemed to encompass all others.
The first three factors established were Emotional Stability, Extroversion, and Openness. Emotional Stability refers to calmness, confidence, and emotional security, whereas Extroversion refers to an external orientation and an interactive and socially engaged nature. Openness suggests curiosity, imagination, and flexibility. The additional two factors that form the big five are Agreeableness and Conscientiousness. Agreeableness refers to good-naturedness, sincerity, and likeability, and Conscientiousness refers to careful, productive, rule-abiding behavior.
Each of the five main personality traits stretches along a continuum. For example, the individual will not be designated as Agreeable or Disagreeable, but somewhere in between on a normal distribution. The personality traits tested in the questionnaire are consistent cross-culturally, and are fairly stable over time, beginning in young adulthood. An understanding of this individual's position on each dimension can provide valuable insight into his personality.
