Hierarchical Structure of the Big Five[edit]

(

)

... that our behavior is influenced by a hierarchy of personality traits?

Incomplete nomination, there are no wiki-links in the hook. --Soman (talk) 08:30, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Added link and otherwise formatted hook. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 08:35, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

This article should probably be merged with two other current DYK candidates on the same subject: Big Five personality traits and culture and Big Five personality traits. MathewTownsend (talk) 17:56, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

I think that this article goes into sufficient depth on a relatively narrow aspect of the Big Five that it warrants it's own page. Fully merging it with the existing Big Five page seems inappropriate for the same reason that merging all the information on each individual Big Five trait was inappropriate. I suggest creating a summary section on the Big Five page which links to this more in-depth treatment of the topic.Armsbf11 (talk) 19:59, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

The hook is misleading. Take away the piping and the hook reads:

... that our behavior is influenced by a Hierarchical Structure of the Big Five?

The "Big Five" is a theoretical structure, one of many. A theoretical model doesn't influence our behavior. MathewTownsend (talk) 19:29, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
Would it be better to say that "...our personality is arranged in a hierarchical structure". Perhaps the hook should be changed? Armsbf11 (talk) 23:59, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Do you have a source that states as fact that our personalities are arranged in a hierarchical structure? And what does that even mean? Given that the Big Five hierarchical structure is a theory only, how can you state that? MathewTownsend (talk) 01:34, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
