Warmth, gregariousness, assertiveness, activity, excitement seeking, positive emotion. Extraversion has a powerful influence on behaviour and it takes effort for an extravert to act any other way. Extraverts are consistently rated as more popular and attractive than introverts. Extraverts tend to be happier than introverts. People too high in this trait, tend to be argumentative, to need to be incontrol too much and not manage their time effectively. Anxiety, hostility, depression, self-consciousness, impulsiveness, vulnerability to stress. Tend to deal ineffectively with problems in their lives and react more negatively to stressful events. The higher the level of neuroticism, the more likey people are to report being unhappy, anxious, and even physically sick. This trait is associated with a tendency to be cooperative. Agreeable people rate other people more positively, say nice things more often than mean. Prone to feel guilty when they don"t live up to expectations.
