Designed by psychologists and based in science
Specifically designed by psychologists for use within organisations, Facet5 helps people at all levels understand behaviour and what can be achieved.
​
Facet5 is the result of over 30 years of development using sound psychometric methods to create a model of personality that supports people's development, in all its forms.
The five factor model of personality (or ‘Big 5’) is now widely accepted as the best way of describing the fundamental building blocks of personality. The ‘Big 5’ model consistently emerges from psychological research as the irreducible minimum needed to give a comprehensive description of personality and behaviour. Facet5 measures these five factors precisely and quickly to give an accurate and easily applied portrait of an individual’s personality.
​
​
WHAT WE MEASURE
Facet5 identifies the 5 major building blocks of personality – broken down into 13 sub-factors.
​
We all have varying amounts of each factor within our personalities; the amount (scores) will differ depending on our personal preferences and beliefs. It is the pattern of ‘scores’ we see across each of the factors which provides an overall picture of our personality.

WHAT' DOES A FACET5 PROFILE LOOK LIKE?
'THE COACH'
​An individual’s profile will show a score of 1-10 on each Facet factor, and this builds up a picture of their overall personality.
​
As well as an overall profile and a breakdown into their scores on each factor and sub-factor, the Facet5 report provides people other useful insights into an individual’s personality and what this means for the workplace.
​
These include:
Family Portrait
With Facet5, there are 1,000,000 possible combinations of scores that would give noticeably different profiles. Facet5 have divided up this vast number of possible patterns into 17 different ‘families’ of similar profiles. For example, a person may be a ‘Supporter’, ‘Specialist’ or ‘Controller.
WHAT'S INCLUDED IN A FACET5 PERSONALITY PROFILE?
Each report is comprised of:
​
WORD CLOUD: displayed on the front page, it is a quick summary of the main themes in the person's profile. The more prominent themes appear in larger text.
​
OVERALL PROFILE: a visual picture of an individual's Facet5 factor profile. This picture can be overlayed with other profiles to show similarities and differences quickly and easily.
​
FACTOR PROFILE PAGES: details the 5 factors and 13 sub-factor scores. Each factor is detailed in rich commentary that ensure meaningful insights can be created during the initial debrief and beyond.
​
The core Facet5 Profile can be supplemented with the following add-on reports
​
