The Big Five Inventory

The Big Five Inventory is a psychological tool that measures five broad personality traits: Openness (curiosity and creativity), Conscientiousness (organization and dependability), Extraversion (sociability and assertiveness), Agreeableness (kindness and cooperativeness), and Neuroticism (emotional stability and anxiety). People complete a questionnaire, and their responses help identify their personality profile across these dimensions. It provides a useful framework for understanding individual differences, improving self-awareness, and predicting behaviors in various contexts such as work and relationships.
