The AB5C was developed by Hofstee, de Raad, and Goldberg in 1992. While Hofstee is well-known for his work in cultural dimensions, the AB5C is a personality assessment, not a measure of cultural values.

The AB5C is primarily used by researchers and professionals in psychology and related fields. Some universities and research institutions may have access to it for research purposes.

The AB5C test is a 90-facet inventory that assesses the Big Five personality traits, also known as the OCEAN model. It goes beyond these main factors to measure 30 bi-polar facets within each of the Big Five. For example, within Openness, the AB5C might assess facets like imagination, intellect, and aesthetic sensitivity.
