One of the biggest models used to describe personality is The Five Factor Model or, as know, The Big Five. The following are The Big Five: extraversion-introversion, neuroticism, openness to experience, agreeableness-antagonism, and conscientiousness-undirectedness. Extraversion-introversion measures how much a person enjoys social interaction, activity level, and their need for stimulation. Extraversion deals with sociability. Extraverts tend to talk more, engage more in eye contact, have a higher activity level, which means they do everything quickly and expend more energy, and experience more positive emotion.
Introverts are more reserved, quiet, tend to prefer smaller groups of friends, as opposed to a large group, and are more inhibited. …show more content…
It deals with emotional stability and a lot of negative emotions. People who are high in neuroticism tend to have difficulty at work, maintaining a relationship, have higher anxiety, ruminate (which means to think obsessively about the past), and worry (to think about the future). People who are low in neuroticism are calm, relaxed, and have better interpersonal relationships. I consider myself to be in the middle, as most people are. I do not have difficulty maintain relationships, nor do I ruminate, but I do tend to worry and am anxious about certain things. This, in turn, explains why I am a defensive pessimist. Defensive pessimists experience a lot of anxiety and tend to be high in neuroticism. I identify with defensive pessimism. I think about the worse things that can happen and prepare for it. For example, at school, I tend to be very anxious with tests. In order to cope with that anxiety, I prepare for the worse. I think about the worse that can happen, fail the test, and study a couple of days in advance. I study until I make sure I know the material at least at a ninety-percent …show more content…
Self-monitoring refers to someone’s adjust his or her behavior to social factors. High-self monitors look for cues in a situation to tell them how they should behave. Their main goal is to promote harmony in a group. They are the ones who will adjust their behavior to make sure everyone around them is comfortable. Low-self monitors use their own values and motives to guide their behavior. They are not easily influenced by their peers. They are concerned with expressing what they feel rather than to mold their behavior to make everyone around them feel comfortable.
As I previously stated, I am a low-self monitor. I am myself with whoever I am. I let my values and morals dictate how I act. For example, if I am with a group of friends and they start drinking, I would probably not partake in drinking because I am underage which goes against what I believe. I am genuine with myself and to others around
