The Big Five

Five scores researchers actually use. Take Five Traits if you want your own bars.

  • Openness

    A new idea pulls you in the way a new restaurant does for some people. You want to try it.

  • Conscientiousness

    You're the person who already knows where the form is, and whether it actually got sent.

  • Extraversion

    A room either gives you energy or takes it. This bar is which way it usually goes.

  • Agreeableness

    You either assume people have decent reasons, or you assume you'll have to push. This bar is which instinct wins first.

  • Neuroticism

    Some people file a small uncertainty under 'later.' You may file it under 'now,' in your body.
