Personality Traits Of The Big Five

One of them being conscientiousness. Conscientious people are very driven and orderly. They set goals and firm plans to achieve these goals. Rarely are they spontaneous or disorganized. My score within the Big Five Personality Profile was moderate for conscientiousness. I would say that I do exhibit some of these characteristics. I can be very organized and reliable. As a weakness, I find that I am not always a self-starter. I will set goals and stick to them, but need that push from others to get started. For instance, I was given the opportunity to work on an exciting new project at work that involves direct feedback from employees that I would personally deliver to upper management. This would be a big responsibility as I would be representing hundreds of employees and voice the current concerns of our group. I was asked to think it over. While processing the position, three others volunteered and I lost out of the opportunity. I took my time and wasn’t as organized in my decision making, therefore I missed out greatly.

Personality shows the unique traits of each person. There are five personality traits which is openness, extraversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness and neuroticism. Individual who have openness personality are likely to experience new things, they may choose to buy the things which is new or never experience before. Conscientiousness personality person will be more diligent, they might search few information before buying. Extraversion shows a personality of outgoing or shy while agreeableness shows how easy an individual get along with. Lastly, neuroticism personality is a negative mental states personality.

One main goal of psychology has been established a model to describe and understand human personality. The five-factor model of personality is the most widely used model in describing personality types. The components of the Big Five are extraversion, openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism.

Personality is defined as a relatively stable set of characteristics that influence an individual’s behavior. Both heredity and environmental forces shape personality.

The Big Five Test is a compilation of 70 questioned geared towards “measuring how accurate or inaccurate the statements pertain to you.”(Wentz) This test is considered to be an objective test measuring certain traits of the individual taking it rather than states. Traits differ from states in the sense that traits are life-long characteristics; meanwhile states are temporary characteristics of an individual. This test was designed to measure the Big Five personality traits, including: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability and openness. When you are listed as being in the higher percentiles for each of these categories, then you

Of the Big Five personality traits, I scored highest on neuroticism. I compared myself to my friend. My friend scored highest on extraversion. I scored lowest on extraversion, whereas my friend scored lowest on agreeableness. I was somewhat surprised at my results that my friend received. However, I was not surprised by my results. I am a typically anxious person, so I knew I would probably score high on neuroticism. However, I thought my friend would score higher on agreeableness. I don’t agree with some of these because I believe that my friend falls a little higher on the agreeableness, while I believe we both fall a little higher on the openness scale. I also believe there is more to a person’s personality than that.

Openness is one of the “Big Five” personality traits, which also includes extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism.

According to Steffans personality blog, The Big Five Theory relies on five major factors . These factors are Extraversion, Neuroticism, Agreeableness , Openness and Conscientiousness. This theory

Personality can be defined through the model used in Parker’s et al. (2004) study which includes agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness, neuroticism, and extraversion. Agreeableness is getting along with other people, conscientiousness is the ability to stay on task, openness is how a person adapts to change, neuroticism is a predisposition to negative emotions, and extraversion is the need for sensation-seeking. Together those personality dimensions describe individual differences. To measure these dimensions, a common tool used was the NEO Five-Factor Inventory. This was a self-report questionnaire containing 60 items, and a score is calculated to indicate the level of each dimension.

In psychology, the Big Five personality traits are five broad domains or dimensions of personality that are used to describe human personality. The theory based on the Big Five factors is called the Five Factor Model (FFM)[1] The Big Five factors are openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism.

Similarly, I scored high on neuroticism, agreeableness. My neuroticism result was 4.3 and the percentile was 91. Neuroticism means the tendency to experience anxiety, worry, frustration and other negative feelings. Feeling stressed because of the instability of my emotions has a huge impact on my life. Sometimes I lose focus on important things because of anxiety.

One of the aspects of the personality theory is the Big Five Personality traits. Those traits are: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness. Each of these traits have been studied by many experts and defined based on the behaviors and attitudes that are attributed to most people. There are no absolutes meaning that just because most people who display a certain characteristic are effective leaders, does not mean that everybody who has that trait is an effective leader (Dziak, 2017). This paper will break down each of the Big Five traits and talk about their role in leadership.

Every person has their own unique personalities. There are many different types of personality but researchers focus on the Big Five. The Big Five includes Extroversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness. Many personality tests are used to determine the ranks of the Big Five of a person.

Among the numerous psychological models of personality studied in this chapter, I believe the most useful model of personality is the five-factor model. Rather than focusing on character traits, the unconscious, or learning principles, this model describes personality as being derived from five higher-order traits known as the “Big Five” (Weiten, McCann, 2016). The Big Five, developed by Robert McCrae and Paul Costa, consists of extraversion, neuroticism, openness to experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. Thesis (?): This model is most compelling to me as I can easily identify fundamental aspects of my personality with it.

The next personality test I took was the multiple intelligence survey. I found that I was kinesthetic, interpersonal and musical. Being kinesthetic means, I have ability to control body movements and handle objects skillfully. Being interpersonal means, I have the ability to relate and understand others. The third personality I have is a musical personality which means, I have the capacity to discern pitch, rhythm, timbre and tone. I agree with all of these because they fit to who I am in my everyday life, almost
