  summary: "The five factors of the dominant trait model (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism), followed by traits from competing models: HEXACO's added Honesty-Humility and Emotionality, Eysenck's Psychoticism, and the Dark Triad. Rows after the first five are labeled with the model they come from."
  use_when[2]: You need the standard five-factor vocabulary for describing individual differences.,You are comparing trait models and need the names that distinguish them.
  caveats[2]: Traits are continuous dimensions; the entries describe the high end of each and say nothing about any individual.,"Type indicators popular in business, such as MBTI, are not in this dataset and do not have the same research support as trait models."
