Document Summary
The concept of personality is used to explain the stability in a person"s behaviour over time and across situations (consistency) and the behavioural differences among people reacting to the same situation (distinctiveness). High extraversion scores signify that a person is outgoing, sociable, upbeat, friendly, assertive, and gregarious. Some trait models refer to this as positive emotionality: neuroticism. High neuroticism scores signify that a person is anxious, hostile, self-conscious, insecure, and vulnerable. Some models call this negative emotionality: openness to experience. Openness to experience is associated with curiosity, exibility, vivid fantasy, imaginativeness, artistic sensitivity, and unconventional attitudes: agreeableness. Agreeableness is associated with people who are sympathetic, trusting, cooperative, modest, and straightforward; it may have its roots in temperament: conscientiousness. Conscientious people are diligent, disciplined, well-organized, punctual, and dependable; some models refer to this trait as constraint and they are related to high productivity in a variety of occupational areas. Levels of awareness: conscious, unconscious, preconscious.
