For A Basis, I Had My Volunteer Take Multiple Personality

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.

To keep things anonymous, the participants name during the big five assessment report will not be used. According to (Webster, 2015), personality is defined as “the quality or state of a being person.” There are thousands of different traits that can make up a persons personality. One-way to measure a beings trait is to use the five-factor model, also known as the big five traits. (Larson & Buss, 2014) defined the five-factor model as:

The big five factors that define an individual’s personality are: emotional stability, agreeableness, extroversion, conscientiousness and openness. Let’s include all of these when we talk about the big five personality factors of John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods.

Raymond Cattell (1905-present) designed the “Big five Factors of Personality”, in which five classifications are revealed. Big Five factors: #1 extraversion vs. introversion, #2 agreeableness vs. antagonism, #3 conscientiousness vs. undirected ness, #4 neuroticism vs. emotional stability, and #5 openness to experience vs. not open to experience. Han’s Eysenck’s and Sir Francis Galton behavior genetics research and Arnold Buss’ three concerns for evolutionary personality theory coinsided with each other.

The Big 5 is composed of the following five personality traits: Openness to experience, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. Openness to experience is characterized by creativity, curiosity, and imagination. A person high in openness is often aesthetically-minded, open to trying new things and leaning new ideas, and appreciative of art, adventure, and emotion. People high in openness tend to hold unconventional beliefs while those low in openness prefer traditional ideologies. An example of a person high in openness would be an artist, such as Picasso, or a professional actress, such as Idina Menzel. Conscientiousness is characterized by thoughtfulness, organization, and goal-directed behaviors. People high in conscientiousness tend to prefer planned behavior rather than spontaneous and are detail oriented. An

The big five personality traits are traits are openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. Openness is how open someone is to trying different things or how adventurous they are. Someone that rates very high in openness would have a wide variety of interests. Conscientiousness is having good control of one’s thoughts and urges, being organized in life. Extraversion is how sociable a person is. If the person is talkative, easy to get along with, and likes being around others they would be an extravert. Agreeableness is how easily someone is to agree with another person. People that rate highly in agreeableness are also known as nice and understanding. Neuroticism is instability in one’s emotions. People high in

A person uses certain tactics in order to carry out their overall approach to conflict (Seung, 2014, March 21). I personally use direct denial, topic shifts, and noncommittal questions most frequently in order to avoid conflict with others. Using direct denial explicitly rejects that there is an issue at hand. For example, my roommate plays loud music in her room when she studies and she asked if it bothered me. I lied and said, “No, it isn’t a problem, I can barely hear it in my room, anyway” although it is loud enough to distract me while I’m studying. Using this tactic allowed my roommate to suffer no loss at all while I am still dealing with the issue. Although the use of this tactic avoided a disagreement in our relationship, it did not solve the conflict in the long run because I still have deal with the issue.

The big five model of personality traits: openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism.  Openness uses the imagination to create situations, experiences, and ideas.  Conscientiousness is a disposition of organized, orderly, punctual, and detail oriented.  Extraversion is looking for social situations, thrilling experiences, and generally happy.  Agreeableness is a warm, friendly, and trusting disposition.  Neuroticism is a negative emotions from experience such as anxiety, fear, sadness, and depression.  The big five model goes from low to high as poles of opposition.  The personality traits have an influence on behavior of individuals.  The connection between the traits, behavior, and creativity is characterized by two key components.  The components are that personality separates us from one another, which makes us unique and enduring or consistent to the individuals.  In other words, personality endures to how individuals think, act, and feel.  The creativity is thoughts or behaviors that are original and meaningful.

The following will reflect this researchers understanding and reflection on personality, how it defines one, what it means, and if one’s personality changes to fit certain situations. At the end this researcher may have a better insight into herself as well as the personalities of others. This insight can help her in her future endeavors.

One person’s behaviour, relationships, and decision making is influenced by his personality. Personality is growth by genetic and affected by environmental factors. There is big five model of personality, such as surgency, agreeableness, adjustment, conscientiousness and openness to experience to categorizes one person’s traits (Lussier & Achua, 2013).

Personality seems like a large topic, but is not as ominous as it seems. “Personality refers to individual differences in characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. The study of personality focuses on two broad areas: One is understanding individual differences in particular personality characteristics, such as sociability or irritability. The other is understanding how the various parts of a person come together as a whole” (APA). There are eight key aspects to consider when it comes to personality; unconscious aspects, ego forces, biological being, conditioned and shaped by experience and environments, cognitive dimension, traits skills and predispositions, spiritual dimensions, interaction. While personality is a big topic it is easier to understand by realizing everyone has one, even if it is different in each person.

Extroversion is a behavioral quality that is characterized by the energy and sociability of a person. They like to meet new people and tend to be optimistic and talkative. They make friends easily, feel comfortable around people and are skilled in handling a social situation. Their optimistic interpretations of the future allow extroverts to emerge as group leaders or to be perceived as a leader figure. However, while sociability and dominance are essential attributes for leaders, some who are excessively extroverted, have a tendency to behave in an aggressive, grandiose, and bold way. They tend to be in the spotlight and like to be the center of attention and can jump from one conversation or idea to another as well as over-estimating their personal capabilities, is a behavioral quality that is characterized by the energy and sociability of a person. This trait might precede a leader to take the input of their subordinates and

The theorists of the five-factor model organized five categories to describe common personality traits. Extraversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and open to experience (Carver & Scheier, 2012). Extraverison is defined as an outward expression of a person’s interests or things which do not involve self. Neuroticism is the stability of emotions. Agreeableness is the reflection of behaviors while maintaining relationships. Conscientiousness is the representation of responsible behavior in most aspects of one’s life. Lastly, open to experience is the probability of trying new things (Carver & Scheier, 2012). Everyone falls within the spectrum of the five categories. Spontaneous people

There have been more than 17,000 words that have been identified to describe personalities. Those 17,000 words have been narrowed down to five abstract personalities: conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism, openness to experience and extraversion. “Conscientiousness characterizes people who are organized, dependable, goal-focused, thorough, disciplined, methodical, and industrious.” (McShane, 2013) pg. 42. Agreeableness, “includes traits of being trusting, helpful, good-natured, considerate, tolerant, selfless, generous, and flexible.” (McShane, 2013) pg. 42. Neuroticism, “characterizes people who tend to be anxious, insecure, self-conscious, depressed, and temperamental.” (McShane, 2013) pg. 42. Openness to experience refers, “to the extent to which people are imaginative, creative, unconventional, curious, nonconforming, autonomous, and aesthetically perceptive.” (McShane, 2013) pg. 43. Extraversion, “characterizes people who are outgoing, talkative, energetic, sociable and assertive.” (McShane, 2013) pg. 43. As stated by Amarilis your personalities may change overtime and it is important

These five personality traits tell us how people may respond differently to the same situation. Human resource managers often use the Big five personality domains to help place employee in their organization.
