What is Facet5?

Hello, we are Facet5…

Facet5 is a measure of personality powered by a passion for development. We support individuals, teams, leaders and businesses to realise their full potential.

Used by organisations and consultancies worldwide, we provide a model and a language to explain how people differ in their behaviour, motivation, attitudes, preferred ways of working – and most importantly; what they can achieve.

People and personality sit
at the heart of Facet5

We believe understanding your personality – really, truly understanding it, provides an individual with a sense of their identity and the know-how to thrive in a changing world.

Facet5 provides individuals with intuitive, yet rich insights that can be applied immediately and enhanced over time, leading to positive developmental impact.

“Facet5 gave me that ‘A-ha’ moment. I was instantly able to connect how I perceived myself and the way I like to work to my job and how I work with others.”

Facet5 enables individuals,
teams & organisations

Facet5 provides an easy-to-understand framework and a simple common language that is readily adopted by individuals, teams and organisations to help realise their full potential.

Specifically designed by psychologists for use within organisations, it helps people at all levels understand behaviour and what can be achieved.

Facet5 describes, explains and predicts behaviour in non-judgmental ways, so teams and organisations alike can easily understand and utilise the power of personality.

Designed by psychologists, based in science

Specifically designed by psychologists for use within organisations, Facet5 helps people at all levels understand behaviour and what can be achieved.

Facet5 is the result of over 30 years of development using sound psychometric methods to create a model of personality that supports people development, in all its forms.

The five factor model of personality (or ‘Big 5’) is now widely accepted as the best way of describing the fundamental building blocks of personality. The ‘Big 5’ model consistently emerges from psychological research as the irreducible minimum needed to give a comprehensive description of personality and behaviour. Facet5 measures these five factors precisely and quickly to give an accurate and easily applied portrait of an individual’s personality.

“As psychologists we adhere strongly to scientific principles but as practitioners we know that nothing works unless it is easy to understand and apply. Our mission has been to turn reliable data into information that is presented in the most practical and usable way possible.”
