Five Factor Model

The Five-factor model, also known as the Big Five personality traits, describes five broad dimensions of human personality: 1. **Openness** - willingness to try new experiences. 2. **Conscientiousness** - levels of organization and dependability. 3. **Extraversion** - sociability and energy from interacting with others. 4. **Agreeableness** - compassion and cooperativeness with others. 5. **Neuroticism** - tendency towards emotional instability and anxiety. Together, these traits provide a comprehensive understanding of personality, helping to explain individual differences in behavior, thoughts, and emotions in various situations.

    The Five Factor Model, also known as the Big Five personality traits, categorizes human personality into five broad dimensions: Openness (creativity and curiosity), Conscientiousness (organization and dependability), Extraversion (sociability and energy), Agreeableness (cooperativeness and compassion), and Neuroticism (emotional stability and resilience). Each trait exists on a spectrum, meaning individuals may display varying degrees of each.
