Answer 1

The big 5 personality traits are based on the following 5 characteristics:

1. Openness: I do believe that I am an open individual who believes that learning is an ongoing process. Being an introvert, keen observer of the occurrences around me, I feel responsible for my own actions, including my growth and development. Moreover, openness is a trait that I would always like to possess since getting rid of the primitive understanding and adapting oneself to what is new and more applicable is a part of evolution as well.
2. Conscientiousness: I do believe that I operate high on this domain since I tend to spend more time on planning and preparing, scheduling and detailing of the tasks that I am at.
3. Extraversion: I operate low on this component since I like to keep to myself and derive my energy from within rather than external resources. I do not enjoy meeting people or interacting with them and primarily like to be alone, reading a book or just listening to music. A day that involves too much reciprocal interaction with others teds to be draining for me.
4. Agreeableness: Agreeableness relates to how much interest one takes in others and their well-being or displays empathy. Being a mental health professional and on a personal level as well, I operate high on this domain since the well-being of others is of primary importance to me. Contributing to the happiness of others is the source of true contentment for me and a job that lacks this aspect, will never provide satisfaction to me.
5. Neuroticism: I operate low on this domain of personality since I do not feel emotionally stressed or perturbed too often. Although there are times that I experience ‘negative’ emotions, they do not last long and tend to fade away with time and effort
