The Big Five personality traits is a suggested taxonomy, or grouping, for personality traits,[1] developed from the 1980s onward in psychological trait theory.

Starting in the 1990s, the theory identified five factors by labels, for the US English speaking population, typically referred to as:

  • openness to experience (inventive/curious vs. consistent/cautious)
  • conscientiousness (efficient/organized vs. extravagant/careless)
  • extraversion (outgoing/energetic vs. solitary/reserved)
  • agreeableness (friendly/compassionate vs. critical/rational)
  • neuroticism (sensitive/nervous vs. resilient/confident)
