What is the Deep O.C.E.A.N. model?
Deep O.C.E.A.N. is the evolution of the Big Five personality model, also known as the O.C.E.A.N. model. With over 80 years and more than 10.000 studies, it is the confirmed state-of-the-art tool in personality research.
Professors Collin DeYoung, Lena Quilty, and Jordan B. Peterson further developed this in 2007 and introduced the 10 Aspects Model to the market. Through years of practical work, the Deep O.C.E.A.N. Institute has optimized this scientific model and made it usable for practical application.
Deep O.C.E.A.N. offers pragmatic applicability based on the highest, most advanced, and scientific insights.
The main advantage: It provides the latest and highest level of personality research and is the perfect blend of being as ‘detailed’ as necessary and as ‘practical’ as possible.
O.C.E.A.N. – a solid foundation
What is the O.C.E.A.N. personality model?
The Big Five personality model forms a robust scientific foundation. The model of the five personality dimensions, also known by the acronym ‘O.C.E.A.N.,’ has been continuously developed over the last 80 years and has been utilized in over 10.000 studies.
A scientifically grounded model of personality analysis.
A state-of-the-art instrument in modern personality research.
The O.C.E.A.N. model has been used in over 10,000 studies.
Scientists developed the O.C.E.A.N. model after a statistical analysis of the language people use to describe others.
They found that personality adjectives can be grouped into five main categories.
From this, the following five traits have emerged:
OPENESS
Openness for ideas
and aethetics
CONSCIENTIOUSNESS
Achievement focused,
Perfectionism
EXTRAVERSION
Sociability,
Assertivness
AGREEABLENESS
Empathatic,
Consideration
NEUROTICISM
emotianal volatility,
Anxiety-prone
Let’s dive even deeper. – Deep O.C.E.A.N.
DeYoung, Quilty, and Peterson developed a model in 2007 that further subdivides the five factors of the O.C.E.A.N. model into two additional aspects each. This dual distinction per trait is also reflected in numerous neuroscientific studies. Specific networks in the brain can be associated and demonstrated for each of these aspects.
The two aspects make it possible to differentiate the personality even more precisely, delving even deeper into the intricacies of personality. Practice has shown that humans are too complex to be categorized into just five traits.
Based on these scientific findings, Dr. Frederik Hümmeke, Vanessa Buchner, Alexander Hartmann, and their team have optimized and made the Deep O.C.E.A.N. model practical for over 10 years of continuous application and development. With Deep O.C.E.A.N., you can easily analyze your personality in detail, providing enough complexity yet being pragmatic enough for practical application.

Where do the five dimensions of personality come from?
Lexical approach
The description of personality is anchored in our language.
The more important a personal difference is, the more likely it is that there is a word for it.
18.000 Terms
At the beginning of the 20th century, the psychologists Allport and Obert searched through the Westerns New International Dictionary. The list of 18,000 personality terms was initially shortened and grouped manually.
Big Five Taxonomy
With the later emergence of modern mathematical methods, the taxonomy of the Big Five personality definitions emerged. Today, these represent the scientific model of personality research.
Let’s look under the mask, let’s explore your true personality!
The term goes back to the Latin term for an actor’s mask or role. We also take on a certain role in everyday life, in family and professional life. If this role does not match our personality, we cannot develop properly. Deep O.C.E.A.N. helps you to shape your life according to your taste.
What makes the Deep O.C.E.A.N. model so unique?
There are now many different personality tests with different characteristics and different validity. Very few of them are scientifically proven, and many are already outdated. Deep O.C.E.A.N. is based on modern findings from personality research. The validity of the scientific model has been scientifically proven many times over.
MEANINGFUl:
Measures what it is supposed to measure.
OBJECTIVE:
Results are independent of the evaluator.
RELIABLE:
Leads to stable results.
We don’t want to pigeonhole you! Every person is different, every personality profile is individual!
VMany personality tests use a certain number of personality types or categories. For example, you are either introverted or extroverted. Deep O.C.E.A.N. is based on a trait-orientated theory. We analyse the degree to which the individual traits apply to you.
