Big-Five Personality Profile of Executive Search Recruiters.

Dykeman, Cass; Dykeman, James J.

Journal of Employment Counseling, v33 n2 p77-86 Jun 1996

This study surveyed a sample of nationally certified executive search recruiters (N=114), with the use of the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI). Chi-square test analyses revealed that this sample differed significantly from adult norms on four of the five NEO-FFI scales: Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, and Conscientiousness. Implications of these findings for employment counselor practice are discussed. (Author/KW)
