+
+## DiSC
+The DiSC test examines people's personalities and uses four principal traits:

+- **D**ominance: active use of force to overcome resistance in the environment
+- **I**nducement: use of charm in order to deal with obstacles
+- **S**ubmission: warm and voluntary acceptance of the need to fulfill a request
+- **C**ompliance: fearful adjustment to a superior force
+
+It is the test which is the foundation of the book [[Surrounded by Idiots by Thomas Erikson]]. This test is used a lot in business settings to find the best team. However, scientifically to this day the test has not been shown to be valid.
+
+## Big Five Personality Traits
+Also known as OCEAN or CANOE. Compared to the DiSC test, the five personality traits come from an empirical finding in early lexical studies that English personality-descriptive adjectives clustered together under factor analysis into five unique factors. At least four independent sets of researchers have come up mainly the same five traits (see [wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits)). 
+### Openness to Experience 
+Describes how much a person likes arts, creativity, imagination and how liberal someone is. People with high openness tend to be intellectuals that like arts. Low openness is rather pragmatic and data-driven
