Does the Big Five Model translate across other cultures?

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: Yes, the Big Five appears to work well across different cultures. Researchers have used the lexical method to identify adjectives in other languages that describe personality and find that they cluster together just as the Big Five do. Spanish has the Big Seven. In Chinese, four of the Big Five are identical, but openness to experience is replaced by a trait called interpersonal relatedness.
