London, October 25 : In the run up to the presidential election in the United States, a research team has come up with a personality test that can help find out whether an individual is fit for the Oval Office.
The new approach tests five big factors of personality—namely neuroticism, extroversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness—as well as their sub-factors.
So far, it has been used to make psychological assessments of all 41 US presidents prior to George W. Bush, and to rank them eight different types, from "dominators" to "actors".
More recently, the same tool was used to profile John McCain, Rudolf Guiliani, and Hillary Clinton. Unfortunately, the analysis did not include Barack Obama.
