Why learn about personality?

Every day, you have to interact with yourself as well as other people in your family, work, and romantic relationships. Each of them has a unique personality.

People are different, and it can be challenging to understand other perspectives because you see the world through the lens of your own particular personality.

Although personality differences can be frustrating, they are important. Each personality type is evolved to solve a different kind of problem. Humans cooperate in societies by solving many kinds of problems together, through these diverse personality types.

Through this course, you can learn to understand yourself and others better, and to more effectively cooperate with other people.

Who should take this course?

Anyone who is interested in improving their understanding of themselves or their ability to work with other people will find the information presented in this course incredibly valuable and practical.

This 5-hour, densely-packed course features a balanced combination of theory and narrative. It has been designed for those looking to learn about personality without spending tens of hours on research. It is easy to follow and appropriate for anyone interested in the subject, but it is still intellectually challenging. No prerequisite knowledge is required.

4.5/5 Customer rating

“A really, really excellent lesson. Apart from giving an insight into the ‘Big 5‘, it’s also a dive about what generally constitutes scientific methodology. The topic, which is all but trivial, is explained very concisely and in a way understandable for non-experts. I studied at the ETH Zurich, one of the ‘best’ universities in Europe, and did a PhD afterwards. Thus, I was privileged to have access to a very large selection of great lectures by excellent scholars. Nevertheless, this has certainly been among the best best single lectures I‘ve listened to (in terms of how the material was presented and what I‘ve learned). I‘m very much looking forward to what’s coming next, and I‘m quite certain that it is not only going to be enjoyable but also very valuable for my professional career. P.S. Also great: The access to the audio file, the transcript and the summary of the lesson… Thanks!”

“This and Maps of Meaning were the two things that gave me the vocabulary to potentially offer a solution to a problem I have been wrestling with for over 20 years”.

“Suddenly the world (and my friends) seems simpler to understand.”

“I’ve listened to many of Dr. Peterson’s lectures via YouTube and am always delighted by how he forms a coherent progression of the information without notes.”

What is the Big Five Personality Model?

This course is based on the Big Five Personality Model. The Big Five personality traits, also known as the five-factor model (FFM), or by the mnemonic “OCEAN”, is a taxonomy for personality traits. Scientists developed the five-factor model following statistical analysis of the language people use to describe other people. They found that personality adjectives tended to clump into five major categories. The five-factor model emerged from this, and it includes the following traits:

Extraversion

Neuroticism

Agreeableness

Conscientiousness

Openness to experience
