When the OCEAN model of personality (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism) was developed, they used a statistical approach. Researchers asked hundreds or thousands of study participants hundreds of overlapping questions about personality, and from there they clustered correlations between responses into the 5 categories. (sorry, I don't have my source for this)
I wonder if they controlled for gender when this model was developed. Such a method would lead to the outcome quoted below.
>For instance, males and females on average don't differ much on extraversion. However, at the narrow level, you can see that males on average are more assertive (an aspect of extraversion) whereas females on average are more sociable and friendly (another aspect of extraversion). So what does the overall picture look like for males and females on average when going deeper than the broad level of personality
