How does Facet5 compare to other tests?

For a full comparison you should see the Facet5 User Manual and the collection of technical reviews in the FACET5 Live collection of documents. However, more broadly, Facet5 is a member of the 5-factor group of tests. Other tests in this group include the NEO-PI and the RPQ.

In summary it is similar to other Big5 questionnaires but has some key differences:

It differs from all those based on Jungian theory (MBTI, TMI etc) in that it has a separate measure of Emotionality

It differs from those based on William Marston's work (DISC, PPA etc) in that it is normative rather than ipsative and has a reliable measure of all the key factors

It differs from the older questionnaires in that it uses modern natural language and is designed for business use

It differs from multi-factor questionnaires (OPQ, MMPI, 16PF etc) in that it is designed to be easy to understand at the user level.
