CORE DEFINITION

The Big Five personality traits, also known as the five-factor model of personality or the OCEAN model, is a five-factor classification system for studying personality. It developed in the field of psychological trait theory from the 1980s. In the 1990s, the theory identified five factors, each of which can be further divided into two distinct values: Openness to experience (inventive/curious vs. consistent/cautious). Conscientiousness (efficient/organized vs. extravagant/careless). Extraversion (outgoing/energetic vs. solitary/reserved). Agreeableness (friendly/compassionate vs. critical/rational). Neuroticism (sensitive/nervous vs. resilient/confident).
