The Big 5 Personality Traits
Summary
TLDRIn this video, Lacy Green from D News explores the Big Five personality traits model by Costaon McCrae, highlighting openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. She discusses how these traits can vary and mentions a unique finding in an isolated farming community where only two traits, socially beneficial behavior and industriousness, were observed, suggesting that societal influences might play a significant role in shaping personality traits.
Takeaways
- 🧠 The field of psychology is focused on understanding personality traits that make individuals unique, known as personality psychology.
- 🔍 One of the most well-researched and respected models in personality psychology is Costa and McCrae's Big Five, which evaluates five different personality axes.
- 🌟 The first trait, Openness to Experience, measures how open or closed a person's thinking is, with highly open individuals being intellectually curious and appreciating new experiences.
- 📚 Conscientiousness is the second trait, describing disciplined, responsible individuals who are good at planning ahead, contrasting with those who are more impulsive and unorganized.
- 🎉 Extroversion is the third trait, often misunderstood as being outgoing. It actually relates to how one gets their energy, with extroverts feeling energized by social interactions and introverts by solitude.
- 🤝 Agreeableness is the fourth trait, with highly agreeable people being considerate and helpful, in contrast to those who are more self-interested and less cooperative.
- 😔 Neuroticism is the fifth trait, measuring emotional stability. Highly neurotic individuals are prone to negative emotions and stress, while low scorers are calm and emotionally stable.
- 🌐 It was previously believed that the Big Five traits were universal across regions and cultures, but recent research challenges this assumption.
- 🏡 An isolated bivian farming community was found where the Big Five model does not apply, suggesting that personality traits might be influenced by societal norms and development.
- 🔍 The discovery in the bivian farming community points to the possibility that personality traits are not solely inherent but can be shaped by societal influences.
- 📝 Viewers are encouraged to take the Big Five personality test and share their thoughts on which traits might be common among the D News audience.

Transcripts
for many years the field of psychology
has been trying to understand all those
personality traits that make you a
unique and special little
snowflake hi guys I'm Lacy Green and
this is D news it's called personality
psychology and it's a booming field of
research you're bound to hear about in
any human site class one of the most
well- researched and respected
personality models in the field is
Coston mccrae's Big Five this model
evaluates how strong a person is on five
different axes let's take a look of
those traits trait number one is
openness to experience this trait
describes how open or closed your
thinking is highly open people are
intellectually curious they love Art and
Science open People appreciate emotion
unusual ideas imagination adventure and
of course having new experiences people
with low scores tend to have more
traditional interests they prefer
familiarity over doing something new and
they don't really like change trait
number two is conscientiousness highly
conscientious people are basically those
annoying overachievers who are always on
top of it they're disciplined
responsible and good at planning ahead a
high score on conscientiousness suggests
a strong ability to regulate and control
your behavior low scorers tend to be
more impulsive and unorganized you know
hot mess status trait number three is
extroversion people tend to think of
extroversion and introversion as how
outgoing you are but it's actually about
how you get your energy High scorers the
extroverts feel recharged and energized
by going out and being around people
they like like parties and chitchatting
low scorers or introverts feel
rejuvenated and energized by spending
time alone they tend to be quieter lower
key and more deliberate they go to a
party and they have to recover the next
day this is sometimes confused with
shyness but shyness is about Comfort
socializing introversion and
extroversion are about the amount of
socializing you need to do your best and
to feel your best trait number four is
agreeableness highly agreeable people
are considerate friendly and helpful
they just wish we could all get along
long guys they make sacrifices for
others and they assume others are good
people low scorers or highly
disagreeable people are suspicious
distant and uncooperative they place
self-interest above getting along they
don't care as much about other people's
well-being and they're less likely to
help you out basically they're
I'm just kidding but really and last but
not least trait number five is
neuroticism this trait measures
emotional stability highly neurotic
people are more prone to negative
emotions like anxiety anger depression
they're easily stressed out they're
reactive and they're more likely to be
frustrated in day-to-day life low
scorers are more calm and collected they
don't really sweat the small stuff
they're emotionally stable and balanced
now for a long time it was thought that
these five traits held true across
regions and cultures we've witnessed
them in action across the world but
recently researchers found an isolated
bivian farming Community where for the
first time it doesn't seem to apply for
this community there are only two two
major traits socially beneficial
behavior and industriousness this makes
an interesting suggestion about
personality if there are less developed
areas where personality Trends are
different Society may play a stronger
role in encouraging or discouraging the
expression of personality traits than we
once thought food for your brain so guys
I'm going to put a link in the
description to take the Big Five
personality test if you're interested
and here's a question for you to chew on
