Summary
With the increase in Internet usage and digital communication, online surveys have developed into a popular medium for researchers. Online surveys are beneficial because they provide access to populations groups that would otherwise be difficult to reach. Time is another benefit of online surveys. The Big Five model is a popular taxonomy for classifying personality traits. It consists of five core personality traits: conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism, openness, and extraversion. Unlike other models that place individuals into binary categories (i.e. introvert or extrovert), the Big Five model holds that each personality type is a spectrum. Individuals are placed on a scale, for instance, determining their level of conscientiousness [7, 8]
