Neuroticism0.48
Agreeableness0.42
The big five personality traits have been found to have a significant biological component. A review by Bouchard and McGue (2002) found that variation in the traits was about half due to biology. Their exact values are tabled on the right.

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."
