Big 5 (or Five-Factor Model) and MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) are both personality assessment tools. While MBTI categorizes into 16 personality types based on preferences in perception and judgment, Big 5 measures personality using five dimensions: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. Big 5 is considered more scientifically robust, but MBTI remains popular for its intuitive framework.**
