In the research study specific attention has been given to the various personality traits of
the Inuit children in Northern Canada using the Big five factors. The primary objective of the
research has been to evaluate and assess the importance of some specific traits and their
consistency in order to assume the degree of accord of behaviour of the concerned demography
that has the capacity to provide particular kind of response evaluated by dispositional theories.
Luhmann et al. (2014) has defined personality as the aggregation of different ways of life and
related actions that shows the unity that exit between the two and thereby established a uniform
analytic basis. Moreover, it has been observed that personality is a factor that evolves in the
course of individual development throughout the lifespan of the concerned individual. Moreover,
to carry on the momentum in the research study the Five-factor model has also been evaluated
and implemented recognizing the five dimensions that indicate about the exclusive details of
personality. This has been done through the use of a lexical hypothesis employing statistical and
theoretical approach that has been replicated through diversified cultural background. Fama and
French (2015) have put much emphasis on the aforesaid issue considering the importance of the
task of establishing a relationship between theoretical approach and diversified cultural
background. Brandstatter’s and Opp’s (2014) five factors have also been taken into account in
the course of the research study in order to investigate the cross-cultural diversity. In this respect
the study of multiple personality has been conducted in order to distinguish five characters of a
person’s nature. The OCEAN theory has then been implemented and evaluated to assess the
valaue of openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism in a
thorough manner. The application of such theories have paved the way for the researcher to
understand a crucial factor, i.e., the culture of the Inuit people is the one alienated from the

western cultures and that is the reason why Alam, Stepanov and Riccadi (2013) has observed that
their personality trend embodies different social and cultural behaviour. Moreover, in the context
of developing the cross-cultural questionnaire that acted as the backbone of the research study it
was necessary to apply the five factor model as it is an operative one that develops cross
culturally. The model measures the five known bipolar aspects that have been proved to show
great skill that make specific profiles especially of human traits (Gore & Widiger, 2013).
Moreover, in order to ascertain the personality traits of young individuals and adolescents the
researcher had been keen on applying the concerned model on children through the process of
evaluating the parents and teachers (Kral et al., 2014).
It has been noted that International Personality item pool is actually the accumulation of
personality items that can be obtained from everyone globally through the implementation of
specific processes including the process of facilitating the execution of research grounded freely
on character. The collection of this database has been done irrespective of geographical location
of the target demography. In this respect the importance of IPIP deserves special mention. This is
primarily because it has contributed thoroughly in the process of developing certain specific
questionnaires because of the advantage that IPIP usually comes in over twenty five languages.
Such diversification has helped the researcher to conduct thorough analysis of the measures
meant for various individual. Johnson (2014) has further elongated on the use by showing how it
supports organization in terms of reviewing and improvising different sets of personality trait
scales. The research has also highlighted the benefits of the IPIP that has been composed of
myriads of factors like they are cost-free, the application can pave the way for the obtainment of
data easily through the Internet, and it contains more than two hundred items that are available
on an instant basis. Cooper, Campbell and McCord (2017) have considered the IPIP as a crucial
