The document discusses the Big Five personality model, which describes five broad personality traits: Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, Openness, and Extraversion. Each trait is defined in terms of tendencies, with examples given of characteristics associated with high and low scores on each trait. The Big Five model is widely used by researchers to measure individual differences in personality. Tests of the Big Five traits involve questions about tendencies and preferences that are designed to assess where someone scores on each of the five traits.
