The Big Five personality test measures the five major personality traits that many psychologists have determined to be the core of our individual makeup. The Five Factors of personality are:

• Openness – How open a person is to experiencing new ideas and experiences
• Conscientiousness – How goal-directed, organized and persistent a person is
• Extraversion – How much a person reacts to the outside world and all that is ou there
• Agreeableness – How much a person puts the interests and needs of others ahead of their own
• Neuroticism – How reactive a person is to stressors and negative emotional triggers

The Big Five model of personality is considered by many to be on of the strongest ways to scientifically describe a person’s personality differences.
