Answer the following questions completely, making sure to reference your textbook. All resources should be correctly cited in APA format.
Although trait theorists agree that five traits lie at the core of a person’s personality, they point out that individuals vary greatly in the degree and quantity to which a particular trait applies. Consider your own personality. Where do you think you fall (high versus low) on each of the Big Five traits? Was it easier to place yourself on some dimensions than on others? Do you think your personality is fully explained using only these five dimensions?
Your answers to each question should be in the range of 500 to 700 words, or the equivalent of 2 to 3 typed, double-spaced pages in Times New Roman, font-size 12.
For each of the Big Five Traits, here is how I think I fall:
Openess- I am in the mid range 5 out of 10
Conscientious- I am high 9 out of 10
Extravert- I am low…3 out of 10
Agreeableness- I am high…8 out of 10
Neurotic- I am low…1 out of 10.
It was easier to place myself as conscientious and agreeable. it was difficult placing myself in the openness categories.
