Five Factor Theory

The Five Factor Theory, also known as the Big Five personality traits, identifies five key dimensions of human personality: openness (creativity and curiosity), conscientiousness (dependability and organization), extraversion (sociability and energy from interacting with others), agreeableness (compassion and cooperation), and neuroticism (emotional stability and anxiety). These traits help describe and predict behaviors and preferences in various contexts, such as work and relationships. The theory is widely used in psychology to understand personality and its impact on daily life, providing a comprehensive framework for assessing individual differences.
