The five traits
The Big Five is the personality model psychologists actually use. It measures five traits, and each one is a dial, not a switch: you sit somewhere between two ends, and neither end is the good one. Pick a dial to see what high and low look like, day to day.
Openness
led by imaginationHow far your mind reaches for the new: ideas, questions, other ways of doing a thing.
Conscientiousness
led by follow-throughHow much structure you bring to your own life: planning, finishing, showing up when you said you would.
Extraversion
led by sparkWhere your energy comes from, and how much of it goes outward. Not how loud you are.
Agreeableness
led by heartHow much weight other people's needs get when they meet your own.
Neuroticism
led by depth of feelingHow strongly and how often you feel the hard emotions: worry, stress, the 2 a.m. replay.
