Psychologists Say There Are Only 5 Kinds of

People in the World. Which One Are You?
Once you understand your personality type, it's easy to identify other people's too.

Your personality influences everything from the friends you choose to the candidates
you vote for in a political election.Yetmany people never really spend much time

thinking about their personality traits.

Understanding your personality can give you insight into your strengths and
weaknesses.It can also help you gain insight intohow others see you.
Most modern-day psychologists agree there are five major personality types. Referred
to as the "five factor model," everyone possesses some degree of each.
1. Conscientiousness.
People who rank highest in conscientiousness are efficient, well-organized,
dependable, and self-sufficient. They prefer to plan things in advance and aim for
high achievement. People who rank lower in conscientiousness may view those with
this personality traitas stubborn and obsessive.
Fun fact:Studies show marrying someone high in conscientiousness increases your
chances of workplace success. A conscientious spouse can boost your productivity
and help you achieve the most.
2. Extroversion.
People who rank high in extroversion gain energy from social activity. They're
talkative and outgoing and they're comfortable in the spotlight. Others may view
them as domineering and attention-seeking.
Fun fact:Be on the lookout for a strong handshake.Studies show men with the
strongest handgrips are most likely to rank high in extroversion and least likely to be
neurotic. That doesn't hold true for women, however.
3. Agreeableness.
Those who rank high in agreeableness are trustworthy, kind, and affectionate toward
others. They're known for their pro-social behavior and they're often committed to
volunteer work and altruistic activities. Other people may view them as nave and
overly passive.
Fun fact: Seek a financial investor who is high in agreeableness. Studies show
agreeable investors are least likely to lose money from risky trading. Avoid an
investor high in openness--that personality is associated with overconfidence that
can lead an investor to take excessive risks.
4. Openness to Experience.
People who rate high in openness are known for their broad range of interests and
vivid imaginations. They're curious and creative and they usually prefer variety over
rigid routines. They're known for their pursuits of self-actualization through intense,
euphoric experiences like meditative retreats or living abroad. Others may view them

as unpredictable and unfocused.

Fun fact: Openness is the only personality trait that consistently predicts political
orientation. Studies show people high in openness are more likely to endorse
liberalismand they're also more likely to express their political beliefs.
5. Neuroticism.
Neurotic people experience a high degree of emotional instability. They're more likely
to be reactive and excitable and they report higher degrees of unpleasant emotions
like anxiety and irritability. Other people may view them as unstable and insecure.
Fun fact: Neurotic people seek acceptance by publishing a lot of pictures on
Facebook. Studies find they're less likely to post comments or updates that could be
seen as controversial, and much more likely to post lots of pictures (they also have
the most photos per album).
Understanding the basics of personality.

Personality remains relatively stable over time. The personality traits you exhibited at
age 7 are likely to predict much of your behavior as an adult.
Of course, you can change some of your personality traits. It takes hard work and
effort to make big changes, but most scientists agree that it is possible.
