Research
The big five personality traits have been some of the most researched constructs in psychology. Here is a summary of some of it and how it applies to you.Neurobiology
Trait | Heritability |
Openness | 0.57 |
Extraversion | 0.54 |
Conscientiousness | 0.49 |
Neuroticism | 0.48 |
Agreeableness | 0.42 |
DeYoung et. al. (2010) studied the size of areas of peoples brains in relationship to the big five and found "Extraversion covaried with volume of medial orbitofrontal cortex, a brain region involved in processing reward information. Neuroticism covaried with volume of brain regions associated with threat, punishment, and negative affect. Agreeableness covaried with volume in regions that process information about the intentions and mental states of other individuals. Conscientiousness covaried with volume in lateral prefrontal cortex, a region involved in planning and the voluntary control of behavior."
