Beyond the Myers Briggs Type Indicator the NEO Personality Inventory is widely known and used. It is a further development of the so called five factor model by P. T. Costa, Jr., and R. R. McCrae.

Because this model with its scales can be easily used for digital data analysis, it is very common and also plays a major role in the data industry today. It is used there for the creation of psychometric profiles, for example for targeted advertising.
