Big Five Personality Traits
- How many personality traits are there?
- How do we even know? In every language, there are many words describing a person’s personality.
- In fact, in the English language, more than 15,000 words describing personality have been identified.
- When researchers analyzed the terms describing personality characteristics, they realized that there were many words that were pointing to each dimension of personality.
- When these words were grouped, five dimensions seemed to emerge that explain a lot of the variation in our personalities.
- Keep in mind that these five are not necessarily the only traits out there.
- There are other, specific traits that represent dimensions not captured by the Big Five. Still, understanding the main five traits gives us a good start for describing personality.
