Conscientiousness……….. Sensitive
Emotional stability………… empathic
Openness to experience…… talkative
Openness to Experience
Reflects the extent to which an individual has broad interests and is willing to be a risk-taker. Openness
To experience is a trait that refers to the extent to which an individual is original, is open to a wide
Variety of stimuli, has broad interests, and is willing to take risks, rather than being narrow-minded or
Cautious. For openness to experience to be translated into creative and innovative behavior in
Organizations, the organization must remove obstacles to innovation.
Agreeableness
Being courteous, forgiving, tolerant, trusting, and self-hearted. Agreeableness is a Big Five trait capturing
the distinction between individuals who get along well with others and those who do not. Individuals high in
Agreeableness are caring, affectionate, and likable, whereas individuals low in this dimension are antagonistic,
Mistrustful, unsympathetic, and uncooperative. Agreeableness is likely to contribute to being a team player
and is helpful in fostering good working relationships
