Psychology, with a focus on psychometry, heavily relies on statistical models of analysis to create a cohesive understanding of personality and preferences of individuals. One of the fields that showed a proper evolution over time is the psychology of personality. Statistics-wise, personality can be modeled using the Five Factor Model (FFM), this model being the most scientifically validated personality model to date. It consists of five personality traits, each divided into 6 facets, usually. These traits can be memorized using the acronym OCEAN: openness to experience (O), conscienciousness (C), extraversion (E), agreeableness (A) and neuroticism (N). The traits are not correlated with one another, as evidence suggests. However, these 5 personality traits can be mapped into two metatraits: plasticity and stability.
