Robert McRae

Robert McCrae is a prominent psychologist best known for his work on personality theory. He co-developed the Five-Factor Model, often referred to as the "Big Five" personality traits: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. This model helps to categorize and understand human personality and behavior, providing a framework for both research and practical applications in psychology, such as in counseling and human resources. McCrae's research highlights how these traits influence various aspects of life, from relationships to job performance, contributing significantly to the field of personality psychology.
