No data the study found supported any individual trait of the Big 5 having a majority or significant influence in participants' overall personality disparity. Significant relationships of disparity between participants Big 5 trait scores and their corresponding self assessed scores for all traits but openness. Indicating a positive level of self deception caused by their psychologically assessed individual trait scores.
