used to identify personality dimensions across cultures and languages. Findings were
gathered from Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and through manual searches.

studies. The study explored different approaches to studying personality taxonomies
and summarised the taxonomies from existing literature. Broadly, Five approaches
(Dictionary, Interview, Previous List and Scriptors) were used to obtain accurate
