Depending on your definition of 'personality model' there are plenty to choose from.

I don't have any good overview of similarities and differences, which are tests more than models, or which are really two names on the same model.

  • Big 5/5 factor model. 5x6 axes. Tests include NEO-PI, MMPI-2, IPIP ++.
  • Global 5. 5 axes
  • BELBIN
  • Emneagram/RHETI
  • Hexaco
  • Holland COdes/RIASEC
  • Jung/MBTI/Kiersey/DISC, 16 PF, MENTI. 4 axes
  • MOTIV
  • R-Drive
  • Temperaments. 4 axes
  • Hartman. 4 axes
  • Kolb/Mumford
  • Learning styles, Grasha­Riechmann styles, Dunn and Dunn styles, Canfield styles

Which ones you should focus on depends on what you are looking for. 

Big 5\NEO-PI-R is the most scientifically supported model, so I mostly keep to that one. MBTIThe hard part about Big 5 is the number of traits total (30), which takes a while to really learn, understand and remember. MBTI is useful in learning theory about personality types, differences and traits, but it lacks scientific support. The The others I haven't studied much yet. 

In general I think it's a good idea to use Big 5 as the base, and search for correlations with traits from Big 5.
