OCEAN

OCEAN is a way to characterize various personality types based on a generalization of personality traits.

Psychologists have developed this series of characterizations through years of study and research.

O- Openness

People that have a high level of openness like change. These

people are creative and imaginative. They are curious and

unconventional thinkers many times. They are quick to

understand new ideas, have a rich vocabulary. They like puzzles and abstract thinking. These are your artistic “out-of-the-box” types.

C- Conscientiousness

Characterized by the need to be in control and disciplined. These

people are planners. They have a sense of duty and are goal and

achievement driven. These people are seen as reliable, hardworking perfectionists. These people are

always prepared and love schedules and work. They cannot

stand disorder.

E- Extraversion

Extraverts gain energy from being around people. They are

enthusiastic and like to be in the middle of the action. These folks tend to be positive and upbeat.

They also love attention and seeking the spotlight. They are

talkative and like to start conversations. These people are

the life of the party and find comfort in groups.

A- Agreeableness

Agreeable people are compassionate ad cooperative.

They like getting along with others. Agreeable people like social

harmony. They care about other people’s welfare and tend to be generous. Agreeable people are

good listeners and compromisers. People consider them decent,

trustworthy and kind.

N- Neuroticism

Neurotic personalities experience a wide range of emotions (anger, anxiety and depression) more readily than others. The reactions they feel are usually stronger than others and they tend to have an edgy outlook on life.

Neurotics are affected by moods, get irritated easily and stress out more quickly than the other personality types but may also find more extremely positive moments in things. They are very in touch with themselves and their feelings.

OCEAN

It is important to remember that a person’s eventual characterization into one of the 5 personalities is not always 100% true.

A person can be high or low on each scale and have certain traits for various personalities.

OCEAN

OCEAN is a way to organize and characterize a person’s personality.

It helps people to understand themselves and others. It can go a long way toward helping people interact with their friends, family, and community.
