Describing my personality in regards to the Big Five central personality traits was no easy task but here are my efforts.
First and foremost extroversion vs. introversion, I’m most certainly more introverted than extroverted. I’ve always been a shy person, reclusive, and passive. But it’s tad confusing because I’m also not too cautious where someone who is more introverted would be compared to an extrovert.
Now neuroticism vs. emotional stability, I’m more neurotic and emotionally unstable than stable. I’m prone to small anxiety attacks, sometimes impulsive (though not as impulsive as my younger self) in regards to many things, and rather emotional much like how someone who is neurotic is more prone to have a “…tendency to feel negative emotions such as anger, guilt, contempt and resentment.” (Wade, Tavris, Garry. Chapter 2, P. 52). In the textbook it mentions a survey’s findings that “…young people, ages 16 to 21, are the most neurotic…and the least agreeable…” (Wade, Tavris, Garry. Chapter 2, P. 52-53) and that’s true of me (even though I’m 22 currently). I’m rather stubborn and have created and maintained a strong disbelief of anything I read or see on the internet …show more content…
Chapter 2, P. 52) of the textbook in regards to conscientious vs. impulsiveness. Where it’s stated “…the slow, steady rise of conscientious over [time]…found in many countries, suggests that this trait is associated with maturing and having adult responsibilities.” (Wade, Tavris, Garry. Chapter 2, P. 52-53). This quote is inductive of myself as I mentioned earlier when I evaluated myself for extroversion vs. introversion and stated how I’m still slightly impulsive but not nearly as impulsive as when I was of a younger age. As I grew older and more responsibilities were bestowed upon me I matured and became much less
