16 Psychological Types and the Big Five

THE 16 psychological types of MBTI sont proches du modèle des "Big Five". We indeed find numerous correlations between the traits of the two tests:

Line		16 types	Correlation
Extroversion		Extraversion/Iintroversion	High (0.74)
Neuroticism		--	--
Conscientiousness		Iudgment/Percieving	Average (0.49)
Pleasantness		Feeling/Thinking	Average (0.44)
Opening		Sensing/INtuition	High (0.72)

Malgré cette ressemblance, et on le constate ci-dessus, les 16 types ne disent rien du névrosisme. Cette dimension supplémentaire permet au Big Five une finesse deux fois plus importante que les 16 types. On peut en déduire la table de correspondance suivante :

16 types	OCEAN (SLOAN rating system)
INFP	RCUAI, RLUAI
INTP	RCUEI, RLUEI
INFJ	RCOAI, RLOAI
INTJ	RCOEI, RLOEI
ISTJ	RCOEN, RLOEN
ISFJ	RCOAN, RLOAN
ISTP	RCUEN, RLUEN
ISFP	RCUAN, RLUAN
ENFP	SCUAI, SLUAI
ENTP	SCUEI, SLUEI
ENFJ	SCOAI, SLOAI
ENTJ	SCOEI, SLOEI
ESTJ	SCOEN, SLOEN
ESFJ	SCOAN, SLOAN
ESTP	SCUEN, SLUEN
ESFP	SCUAN, SLUAN

This correspondence table between the MBTI and the Big Five is given for information purposes only. Indeed, given the average correlations for the "conscientiousness" and "agreeableness" axes, there may be differences between the results of the two tests.
