The big 5 personality characteristics
- Extroversion
- Agreebleness
- Conscientiousness
- Openness to experience
- Emotional stability
These traits reflect the most prominent ways that people differ from each other. To become better at understanding the people around you, start with these five dimensions.
Extroversion
It reflects the degree to which people like to be the center of attention in social situations.
Extroverts want that spotlight shown on them, while introverts shun the spotlight (though they typically have many friends and like engaging in smaller interactions).
Agreeableness
It reflects how much people want others to like them and have difficulty delivering bad news, giving criticism, and standing up for themselves to others.
People with agreeable personalities really want others to like them, while disagreeable people do not necessarily care whether others like them.
Conscientiousness
It is easy to undervalue the people low in conscientiousness, because they need a lot of supervision. However, those low in conscientiousness may try creative solutions to problems, because they do not feel the need to follow rules.
Openness to experience
Openness reflects people’s willingness to consider new ideas.
People who are open will try new ideas on for size, while those closed to experience will typically reject new ideas just because they are new.
Emotional stability
Emotionally stable individuals are stoic. They are unfazed by circumstances. Emotionally unstable individuals experience significant highs and lows in their lives. This instability can cause difficulties in the workplace when people get angry or upset at others.

Our personalities can change
Many of us think our personality is fixed and unchangeable.
But according to a recent study, while our early personalities may provide a baseline, they are pliable as we age
Why personality changes matter
Thinking of personality as fixed could leave us feeling like we can never grow or dismiss people with certain qualities, believing that change isn't possible. However, we don't simply change our personalities in random ways. The relationship among all of our personality traits seems to be more consistent.
If someone was really conscientious but slightly disagreeable, they might keep that personality profile as they age, even if their other traits changed a bit.
Our personalities are a mix
Personality seems to change cumulative over our lifespan and likely happens in response to our life experiences. Therefore our personalities are a mix of stable and unstable.
- Parents and teachers should keep that in mind when they try to influence a child's personality.
- Even the elderly, whom we might expect to be more set in their ways, can change.
- Partners would be better served by learning to value what remains constant in someone's personality while embracing personality shifts as they happen.
