This is a variant of the Big Five based on Robert Hogan's HPI assessment tool. It measures seven major dimensions of personality by theoretically splitting two Big 5 dimensions. Extraversion is split into Ambition and Sociability. Openness to Experience is split into School Success and Intellectance. This model of general personality tends to fit better than the Big Five with how individuals see their own personalities. Further, it is widely used in personnel selection settings.
