What Golden measures

FIVE global preference areas

In addition to the four traditional Jungian areas of preference, Golden contains a fifth global scale, Tense-Calm, based on the "Big Five" trait of Emotional Stability. Tense-Calm looks at stress-related pressures and the degrees of confidence and optimism a person has about their life challenges. The significance of this extra dimension fifth factor is that users can explore the various effects of stress on Type development.

Sub-facets which look at differences within Type

Each global scale includes facet scales that represent more specific components of the global scale. Such specificity is important for understanding differences among individuals who score similarly on the global scales. These facets offer valuable insight in to similarities and differences within the same global type.
