Personality Topic

                                      Character Study

     I liked the modern trait personality theory with the five-factor model out of all the theories that I read about. The Big Five personality traits model is based on common language descriptions of personalities. This model demonstrates the relationship between personality and academic behaviors.

              Five- factor model  

The five big traits are listed as openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism.

I am going to analyze my 22 year old daughter’s personality for this project. She was an only child for 10 years. She was very independent as a child and I was often told by her teachers that she was very mature for her age.

I believe Myra, my daughter would have scored high on openness, conscientiousness and agreeableness. The openness high scorer tends to be a more curious, creative, original and imaginative.

This is a great description of Myra. She has very creative ideas and is great at decorating. The high score for conscientiousness made a lot of sense as well for Myra. She is very organized, hard-working, punctual and conscientious. She was always the first one to be ready to leave the house in the morning when she still lived at home. I have noticed Myra being organized ever since she was a child. She enjoyed organizing her room, books and toys.

 She enjoyed helping me organize my kitchen cabinets recently. The agreeableness of her personality trait that I have observed is that she is a softhearted individual. She has a loyal and dependable personality. She volunteers for many organizations including the wild life center in Lubbock, Texas. I have seen her have generosity to others by how she is cares for her friends and family and by serving her community.
