When we are born, we're all wired a certain way. Understanding yourself and your own personality will help you get on the path to lifelong happiness and once you find out about these you'll start to see aspects of these in everyone you encounter. Furthermore, if you're in a relationship or thinking about being in one, wherever you and your significant other have differences in temperament, there will be conflict. Furthermore, when assessing whether or not a job will suit you well, it is important to consider your personality and whether the kind of tasks you'll be engaged in will drain you or re-energize you. Also, we should strive to be balanced on all ends, so in whatever category you find yourself high or low, and you can find this out by doing a simply big five test on google, you should strive to also be a bit on the other end of the scale, so you're a bigger bag of tricks.
The Big Five Personality Traits:
Openness to Experience: Openness to experience breaks down into 6 categories. (Active Imagination, aesthetic sensitivity, attentiveness to inner feelings, preference for variety, and intellectual curiosity). If you're high in openness you're likely to be intelligent and curious about a wide variety of things, and the other ones are highly correlated with these two in people, so they're all under the umbrella of Openness.
Conscientiousness: Conscientiousness is basically how hard working you are and how orderly you are. High conscientiousness people are not likely to display spontaneous behavior, but rather they show planned behavior. They are also likely to be conformists. If you are low in conscientiousness and find it rather difficult to work hard, it's absolutely fundamental that you develop a plan for your life and there's a website called selfauthoring.com, which has a future authoring program that can help you do this, in order to work hard and be productive and get somewhere in your life.
Extroversion: This trait is roughly correlated with positive emotion, and outgoing and talkative behavior, as well as assertiveness. Extroverts get their energy by hanging around other people, whereas introverts recharge by spending time alone.
Agreeableness: Agreeableness shows up as kind and warm behavior. Agreeable people dislike conflict and prefer to sacrifice their own well-being for the well-being of others. It can be further subdivided into trust, compliance, altruism, compliance, modesty and tender mindedness. If you are agreeable you should also learn to be assertive and stand your ground.
Neuroticism: This trait is the trait of negative emotions; high neuroticism people tend to experience worry, anxiety, fear, anger, frustration, a depressed mood, and guilt. They are often less emotionally stable and can have trouble delaying gratification.
