Although the article is complex the authors do an outstanding job explaining words or phrases that we do not understand: “The TIPI is a 10-item measure of the Big Five personality traits- extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability and openness to experience” (Crysel, 175). The authors explain the significance of the experiment and gives in depth detail that makes the readers understand the information even if we did not know anything about psychology. If the readers are interested in Harry Potter, they would find this article thought-provoking and would most likely want to find out the reason they are in their specific Hogwart house.
