McCrae

McCrae refers to Robert R. McCrae, a renowned psychologist known for his work on personality psychology. He co-developed the Five Factor Model (also called the Big Five), which describes human personality through five broad traits: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. These traits help to understand individual differences in behavior, emotions, and thoughts. McCrae's research has helped scientists and clinicians better understand personality development and stability over time, providing a scientific foundation for assessing and predicting behavior in various settings, including mental health, employment, and personal growth.
