Generally the big five personality traits define individual's characteristics, thoughts, shape of human behaviour, and uniqueness as well. The big five personality traits are :

• Extraversion : Enthusiastic, sociable, funny, positive attitudes, friendly, talkative etc.
• Agreeableness : Kindly behaviour, cooperative, polite, adjustable etc.
• Openness : Sensitive, creative, intellectual behaviour etc.
• Conscientiousness : Goal achiever, patience, responsible, positive attitude etc.
• Neuroticism : Shy, depressed, fear, anxious, jealousy, guilt etc

These big five personality traits also known as a five-factor model. Basically these personality traits can be switched because though it is gene based but it is not permanent. All these five personality traits are genetic basis but it can be influenced by our environment.

personality traits are always based on both genes and environment. But it is more influenced by genetics than a environment. When we little grow up, we want to involve with others as well, so our traits could be manupulated or controled by environment. As our personality traits are inbuilt so it is difficult to change.
