The most widely used framework to measure personality is the five –factor model or FFM for short (McCrae & Costa, 2013). This approach uses a framework to assess the individual’s personality level on each of the five domains. These factors are Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness to Experience. “One of the original ideas behind these five basic factors is that they are “orthogonal”, which means that getting a high or low score on any one of them is not supposed to predict whether a person will get a high or low score on any of the others” (Funder, 2007, p. 224). Using Juno MacGuff, from the movie Juno in mind, I generated a report so I can figure out her percentile scores using a personality test called the IPIP-Neo (Halfon, Malkovich, Kovick, Smith, & Reitman, 2007). Her factor and facet percentile scores can be seen in Table 1. Figure 1 shows Juno’s factor scores, while Figure 2 illustrates scores for each facet.
FFM Results Juno’s score on the Neuroticism factor is 25 (low range). There is a substantial score of divergence among the facets from 15 (Anxiety) to 51 (Vulnerability), which is a generally strong agreement. Most of her facets were in the …show more content…
The three facets that coincide with Juno’s personality from the film are Intellect, Assertiveness, and Immoderation. The Intellect facet from the Openness factor explains how Juno’s intellect style, varies from the other characters in the film. She speaks in an intelligent manner. Juno enjoys picking people’s brains. Secondly, Assertiveness belongs to the Extraversion factor, so Juno tends to enjoy being bold. Juno’s Assertiveness explains how she likes to take the lead and speaks her mind, regardless of the situation she is in. Lastly, Immoderation partakes in the Neuroticism factor. In this facet, Juno tends not to do things in reasonable limits. She at times is oriented towards short-term
