Did any of you guys try to estimate what Big Five traits of some historical figures might have been? 

i have tried for Hitler

- Neuroticism - above average, average/low on depression-anxiety, high on angry hostility, vulnerability and self consciousness

- Extraversion - average or high, most probably moderately high

- Openness - low. moderately above average on intellectual curiosity, below average on everything else 

 Conscientousness - low. He was known for being lazy and could only work on few things that mattered to him, i.e. his political cause

Agreeableness - low. Only good for a small group of people, a bastard for everyone else
