One of the ways to determine an individual’s personality is by using The Big Five Model, which began with the research of D.W Fiske (1949) followed by a numerous amount of other researchers: Norman (1967), Smith

Chapter five “Personality and Values” In this chapter I learned about the Big Five personality traits; extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to experience.

Throughout this course, my perspective on personality has deepened tremendously. The Big Five personality traits (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism) resonated with me. These dimensions provide a comprehensive framework for understanding individual differences. I appreciate how they capture both stability and flexibility in personality. While traits tend to be stable, they can adapt over

The “Big Five” personality classification model includes the traits of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to experience. The Big Five are broad, global traits that are associated with behaviors at work.

Other core personality variables that are present at birth and innate to human beings. To better understand the biological and genetic factors that affect personality one must consider how prominent researchers define personality. According to Joshua Wilt and William Revelle (2015), personality is “the coherent pattern of affect, cognition, and desires (goals) as they lead to behavior” (p. 479). Correspondingly, the most prevalent personality framework is the “Big Five,” or the five-factor model of personality developed by McCrae and Costa who specifically assume that traits are biologically based, inherent tendencies that persistently influence thoughts, feelings, and behaviors throughout life (Broderick, & Blewitt, 2015). The five traits are as follows: (1) Extraversion which has the characteristics of being outgoing, enthusiastic, active, talkative, and assertive. (2) Agreeableness which has the characteristics of being warm, forgiving, sympathetic, kind, affectionate, generous, and compliant. (3) Conscientiousness which has the characteristics of being organized, reliable, careful, responsible, self-controlled, and efficient. (4) Neuroticism which has the characteristics of being tense, sensitive, moody, anxious, self-pitying, and self-conscious. (5) Openness to Experience which has the characteristics of being insightful, imaginative, artistic, curious, having wide-ranging interests, and a positive orientation to learning.

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.

The purpose of this report is to provide answers to the questions presented in the research project in the Rasmussen general psychology class. The first question ask was what are the five personality traits according to the prominent five factor model. According to the psychology.suite101 website (Pawlik-Kienlen, 2007) the big five personality traits are as follows:

Research also shows indicates that the Big Five has distinct biological substrates thereby linking trait perspective with the biological perspective (DeYoung, Quilty & Peterson, 2007). However this convergence of perspectives is actually productive in that all perspectives by themselves have their disadvantages as well as their advantages. If all perspectives can coincide with one another, explanations of personality will become so much easier.

The number 5 has always been an important factor in my life since the very beginning; I was born on June 5, 1998 at 5:25 p.m. I started Elementary school when I was 5 years old; and my favorite sport, which is basketball, is played with 10 players on the court; with 5 players on each team. Another reason five is important in my life is because my full name is Christopher Andrew McCollum which contains 25 letters and 25 divided by 5 is 5 I work at Sonic which has five letters in the title; also all the days I am scheduled to work I have to clock in by five o’clock. I am in the Jobs for Arkansas Graduates program at Jacksonville High School and I must average fifteen hours per week for class and fifteen is a factor of five. I use my five senses

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

Upon completion of The Big Five Personality Test I was able to reconfirm key components of my personality. For instance, the ability to open up an experience new events with minimal hesitation. Next, a military mindset helps to promote a strong work ethic with an abundance of attention to detail. Thirdly, enthusiasm makes it easy to thrive in any social environment. Additionally, amicability helps with considering other’s emotional needs during regular interactions. Finally, stability aids with maintaining a high level of relaxation during times of unease. Now, that these five personality traits have been discussed, let’s move onward.

Every person is different, and each of us has different personalities. An actor, for example, generally feels alive when they are preforming in front of people, while a computer programer perhaps feels more comfortable when working in solitude. Some teachers have a natural empathy that allows them to care for their students, and an author’s imagination allows them to weave together stories that transport people to new worlds. Psychologists have been studying these differences in personality for centuries and have divided personality into five different traits. These traits are known as the Big Five.

The Five Factor Model or Big Five model developed by McCrae and Costa factor together personality traits into 5 major categories. Those factors were Neuroticism (worried insecure, nervous, highly strung), Extraversion (Sociable, talkative, fun-loving, affectionate), Openness (Original, independent, creative, daring), Agreeableness (Good-natured, softhearted, trusting, courteous), and Conscientiousness (Careful, reliable, hardworking, organized). (Schultz & Schultz, 2013). They are able to include most of other lower order traits accounting for specific dimensions of individual differences in personality. (Schultz & Schultz, 2013)

In testing the personality, psychology researchers commonly use the five-factor method which is known as the “Big Five” dimensions of personality. The Big Five dimensions of personality are openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. People often use the acronym, OCEAN to represent each personality (“The Big Five Personality Traits,” 2016). In definition, personality means characteristics or traits that are different from other people. The Big Five dimensions of personality help identify the personality of the person as whom we are that separates us from other people based on characteristics, thoughts, behaviours, and traits. Personality is important for our lives and for our environment in which we live in.

Personality is often described in terms of traits. It is a combination of traits that classifies an individual’s behaviour. The big five model of personality traits is the most widely accepted way to describe personalities. It classifies traits into five dimensions: surgency/dominance, agreeableness, adjustment, conscientiousness, and openness to experience (Achua and Lussier, 2013).
