(Rod, 2010) 5 Traits Of personality: A new trait theory emerged in 1992 and is now referred to as the “Big Five” theory of personality. It is a factor model which .represents those five traits that interact to form the personality of a human being. The following are the FIVE TRAITS of personality: 1. Openness 2. Neuroticism 3. Conscientiousness 4. Agreeableness 5. Extraversion The three personality traits I possess: Openness: Openness is one of the personality traits that I posses. The reason I say that is because I am a good listener. I have always been someone who listens to what others have to say. And not just that, I also look forward for feedback. If someone criticizes my actions or gives a feedback, I take it in a healthy way and try to change my way of doing things. I am independent and I prefer variety over homogeneity. I am also receptive to new, unconventional ideas. I am very imaginative and so I have a general appreciation for art. I am a creative thinker and most of the times I favour thinking out of the box. I am also quite open and adaptive to different cultures and love to learn more about them.  . Agreeableness:  .The next personality trait that I posses is Agreeableness. I am a People person. I am friendly and welcoming. My relationship with my friends and family is very strong. I drive my energy from the people around me. I am compassionate and caring. I believe in team work and thus I strive to be cooperative and helpful. Being social and making friends is something I love to do and so I like being around people. I usually get along with everyone really well. I am optimistic and full of hope. I also have a tendency to compromise my interests with others. I am good-natured and trustworthy and believe in helping others. This is the reason why I am quite active in social work and volunteering. Extraversion: The third personality trait that I possess is Extraversion. As mentioned earlier, I am extremely social and thus very confident. I am also somewhat of an attention seeker and love to be the centre of attention. I have the Gift of gab and so I can talk about anything and everything. This is one of the reasons why I get noticed very quickly. Being talkative is something that has come up to me naturally and it helps me in being more assertive and self-confident. I am high in extraversion and thus I am more energetic and outgoing. People perceive me as someone who is enthusiastic and action-oriented. I seek excitement and adventures and I draw positive emotions from those experiences. I also seem to focus less on myself and more towards the people and the environment. Thinking more about others and less about myself helps me in being a better human being. Conclusion If you analyze the three traits that I posses, you will realize how each one of them is interconnected. The three traits that I possess make it easier for me to interact with people. Knowing what personality traits one possesses, helps in observing your natural impulses from an outsider point of view. Works Cited Perugini, M., Raad, B. Big five assessment.
