The 'Big Five' personality traits are five aspects of your personality that help scientists understand and explain how you're different from other people. They are: Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism.
Openness to Experience means how much you like trying new things. People who are open to new experiences are often creative, curious, and willing to learn.
Conscientiousness means how organized, motivated, and detail-oriented you are. People who are high in this trait often make plans and stick to them.
Extraversion means how social you are and how much energy you get from being around people. People who are extraverted usually enjoy talking to and meeting new people.
Agreeableness means how well you get along with other people. People who are agreeable are often kind, thoughtful, and generous.
Finally, Neuroticism means how easily you become stressed. People who are high in this trait worry often and can be overly sensitive.
