Personality

The sum total of ways in which an individual reacts to


and interacts with others.
The Big five personality Model
The Big Five Model, proposes that five basic dimensions
underlie all others and encompass most of the
significant variation in human personality. Test scores of
these traits do a very good job of predicting how
people behave in a variety of real-life situations and
remain relatively stable for an individual over time,
with some daily variations.
The Big Five Personality Model
Conscientiousness
The conscientiousness dimension is a measure of
reliability. A highly conscientious person is responsible,
organized, dependable, and persistent. Those who
score low on this dimension are easily distracted,
disorganized, and unreliable.
The Big Five Personality Model
Emotional stability
The emotional stability dimension taps a person’s ability to
withstand stress. People with emotional stability tend to be calm,
self-confident, and secure. High scorers are more likely to be
positive and optimistic and experience fewer negative emotions;
they are generally happier than low scorers.
Emotional stability is sometimes discussed as its converse,
neuroticism. Low scorers (those with high neuroticism) are
hypervigilant and vulnerable to the physical and psychological
effects of stress. Those with high neuroticism tend to be nervous,
anxious, depressed, and insecure.
The Big Five Personality Model
Extraversion
The extraversion dimension captures our comfort level with
relationships. Extraverts tend to be gregarious, assertive, and
sociable. They are generally happier and are often ambitious. They
experience more positive emotions than do introverts, and they
more freely express these feelings. On the other hand, introverts
(low extraversion) tend to be more thoughtful, reserved, timid,
and quiet.
Openness to experience
The openness to experience dimension addresses the range of
interests and fascination with novelty. Open people are creative,
curious, and artistically sensitive. Those at the low end of the
category are conventional and find comfort in the familiar.
The Big Five Personality Model
Agreeableness
The agreeableness dimension refers to an individual’s
propensity to defer to others. Agreeable people are
cooperative, warm, and trusting. You might expect
agreeable people to be happier than disagreeable
people. They are, but only slightly.
When people choose organizational team members,
agreeable individuals are usually their first choice. In
contrast, people who score low on agreeableness are
cold and antagonistic.
