dimensions of personality

The dimensions of personality are broad traits that describe consistent patterns in how people think, feel, and behave. Commonly, these include openness (creativity and curiosity), conscientiousness (organization and reliability), extraversion (sociability and enthusiasm), agreeableness (kindness and cooperation), and neuroticism (emotional sensitivity and moodiness). These traits help us understand individual differences and predict behavior across various situations. Instead of viewing personality as fixed, these dimensions highlight that people may be higher or lower on each trait, creating a unique personality profile.
