The Big Five Model

Extroversion

Agreeableness

Conscientiousness Emotional Stability

Openness to Experience



Extroversion

Extraversion is "the act, state, or habit of beingpredominantly concerned with and obtaininggratification(great satisfaction) from what is outsidethe self". Extraverts tend to enjoy human interactionsand to be enthusiastic, talkative, assertive, andgregarious. They take pleasure in activities thatinvolve large social gatherings, such as parties,community activities, public demonstrations, andbusiness or political groups. Politics, teaching, sales,managing, and brokering are fields that favor

extraversion. An extraverted person is likely to enjoytime spent with people and find less reward in timespent alone. They tend to be energized when aroundother people, and they are more prone to boredomwhen they are by themselves.



Agreeableness ± Agreeableness is a tendency to be pleasant and

accommodating in social situations. Incontemporary personality psychology,agreeableness is one of the five major dimensionsof personality structure, reflecting individualdifferences in concern for cooperation and socialharmony. People who score high on this

dimension are on average more empathetic,considerate, friendly, generous, and helpful.

± People scoring low on agreeableness place self-interest above getting along with others. They aregenerally less concerned with others' well-being,report less empathy, and are therefore less likely

to go out of their way to help others. Their skepticism about other people's motives maycause them to be suspicious and unfriendly.People very low on agreeableness have atendency to be manipulative in their socialrelationships. They are more likely to competethan to cooperate.



Conscientiousness

± Conscientiousness is the trait of beingpainstaking and careful, or the quality of actingaccording to the dictates of one's conscience. Itincludes such elements as self-discipline,carefulness, thoroughness, organization,deliberation (the tendency to think carefullybefore acting), and need for achievement. It is anaspect of what was traditionally called character.

± Conscientious individuals are generally hard

working and reliable. When taken to an extreme,they may also be workaholics, perfectionists, andcompulsive in their behavior. People who are lowon conscientiousness are not necessarily lazy or immoral, but they tend to be more laid back, lessgoal oriented, and less driven by success.



Emotional Stability

Neuroticism - a tendency to

experience unpleasant emotions

easily, such as anger, anxiety,depression, or vulnerability;

sometimes called emotional

instability.



Openness to Experience

Openness to experience is one of

five major domains of personality

discovered by psychologists.Openness involves active

imagination, aesthetic sensitivity,

attentiveness to inner feelings,preference for variety, and

intellectual curiosity.
