Este trabajo expone la alternativa que abre el enfoque léxico para el estudio de la estructura de la personalidad. El enfoque léxico asume que las características más relevantes para describir la personalidad deben estar reflejadas en el lenguaje. Se describen las etapas por las que ha discurrido el enfoque léxico y se examinan lo que se ha dado en llamar «los cinco grandes» factores de personalidad y sus componentes. Se discute la significación de estos factores y sus relaciones con otras medidas de personalidad e inteligencia.
