How Personality Tests Are Useful
We are drawn to personality tests because we like to find out what makes us who we are, and where we fit in the world.
Hippocrates first suggested personality consisted of four main temperaments.
- Sanguine - social and optimistic
- Choleric - short-tempered
- Melancholic - analytical and quiet
- Phlegmatic - relaxed or apathetic
Psychologists don't agree on one unifying theory that explains personality, but it might still be worthwhile to explore personality if you regularly interact with people.

Big Five Personality Traits
Five major dimensions of personality traits are:
- Openness to experience
- Conscientiousness
- Extroversion
- Agreeableness
- Neuroticism
The Big Five is a system that maps which traits go together in people's descriptions of one another. This model is useful in describing personality differences. For example, people who have high agreeableness are more likely to cooperate with group decisions, and those who are low in this trait are more competitive.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
