The Big Five Factors, also known as the Big Five personality traits, are a set of five main
qualities that psychologists use to describe people's personalities.
Extroversion
Agreeableness
Conscientiousness
Neuroticism
Openness to experience
A popular acronym for the Big Five is OCEAN. The five factors are laid out in that
order here.
BIG5 FACTORS
1. Openness: How curious and open-minded you are. People high in openness like
trying new things and thinking about abstract ideas.
2. Conscientiousness: How organized and responsible you are. Conscientious
people are careful with their work and stick to their plans.
3. Extraversion: How outgoing and energetic you are in social situations. Extraverted
people enjoy being around others and are usually talkative and friendly.
4. Agreeableness: How kind and cooperative you are. Agreeable people are
considerate of others' feelings and like to help people.
5. Neuroticism: How emotionally stable you are. People high in neuroticism tend to
experience more negative emotions like anxiety and sadness.
• These traits together describe different aspects of a person's behavior, thoughts, and
feelings, helping psychologists understand how people behave in different situations.
