Factor analysis is a correlation among many variables that are analyzed to identify related clusters of variables. Issues with this theory is that there are too many variables and that it is not very universal, mostly western. Anxious, hostile, self-conscious, insecure, vulnerable, tend to over-react in response to stress and exhibit more impulsiveness and emotional instability. Outgoing, sociable, upbeat, friendly, assertive, gregarious, tend to be happier than others due to their positive outlook on life and are motivated to pursue social contract intimacy, and interdependence.
