Document Summary
49% variation in extraversion acccounted by genetic differences. Traits are defined as recurring regularities or trends in people"s responses to their environment. Cultural values - shared beliefs about desirable end states or modes of conduct in a given culture: example - traditional, informal, risk averse, assertive, can influence development of people"s personality traits. Big five, those five personality dimensions include conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism, openness to experience, and extraversion. The results of the study showed that the interviewers" ratings of extraversion, agreeableness, and openness were fairly consistent with the students" own ratings, as well as their friends" ratings. In contrast, interviewers" ratings of conscientiousness and neuroticism were only weakly related to the students" and friends" ratings. This study therefore shows that interviewers are unable to gauge the two big five dimensions that are most highly related to job performance. Five, conscientiousness has the strongest effect on task performance,85 partly because conscientious employees have higher levels of motivation than other employees. 86.
