Introduction
According to the “BIG FIVE personality theory” we can judge the people’s character which category they fall. These five personality traits describe the difference between each personality character. They are Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. These factors sometimes called in one word OCEAN. Let’s look at the brief definition of Big Five traits.
- Firstly, Openness is the characteristics to believe brand new things, thoughts, worth, emotions, and conduct.
- Secondly, Conscientiousness refers the characteristics of vigilant, same time appointments, obey rules, commitment for hardworking.
- Thirdly, Extraversion refers the characteristics of chatty, sociable, to enjoy others, and the characters have style of personality.
- Fourthly, Agreeableness refers the characters to believe and others opinion of choices.
- Lastly, Neuroticism refers the characters often encounter negative affect that leads to rude, worry, and sensitive. (Wikipedia.com, 2018)
“Personality is easy to read, and we’re all experts at it. We judge people [as] funny, extroverted, energetic, optimistic, confident—as well as overly serious, lazy, negative, and shy—if not upon first meeting them, then shortly thereafter. And though we may need more than one interaction to confirm the presence of these sorts of traits, by the time we decide they are, in fact, present we’ve usually amassed enough data to justify our conclusions. Character, on the other hand, takes far longer to puzzle out. It includes traits that reveal themselves only in specific—and often uncommon—circumstances, traits like honesty, virtue, and kindliness.” (A.Lickerman, 2011)
First Look at the Characteristics of my Best Friend
My best friend is a trustworthy person. She is honest and kind with her friends. She is a very supportive person and have self-confident. She is like to see humour in life and make fun to be around. She is a good listener. She has integrity and respect others. She likes to get together with her friends and like to make big party and have fun time with others. She is very famous with her friends. It is very important to have a dynamic friendship that can change our behaviour. Looking at the big 5 personality theory she is more fit to extroversion, Agreeableness theory, people who are extraversion can be socialise, talkativeness, emotional in their character. She has Agreeableness character such as trust, kindness, love and affection and other social behaviours.
“Those whose personality tendencies tend toward empathy, cooperation, trust, and modesty (Costa & Widiger, 2002) are found to be more intrinsically motivated and find enjoyment through efforts they exert in the completion of tasks or in problem-solving. Possessing a proclivity toward mastery-approach orientation, these individuals will not shy away from challenging situations, and their desire to tackle challenges is greater than their fear of appearing unknowledgeable in front of others. In other words, they approach challenges with the full intent of mastering them.” (Watson, 2012) She is lack with Neuroticism characters such as sadness, stress, anxiety, moodiness and upset. She is high on the trait Conscientiousness like spend time preparing, finish important tasks right away, pay attention to details and enjoy having a set schedule. The openness characteristics she is high in imagination and insight. She is curious to know about the world what is happening with other people. She has interest to learn new things and get experience on it.
Let’s Look at Characteristics of Myself
I am also a trustworthy person. I am honest and kind, helping friends. I am a very supportive person and have self-confident. I am looking upon humour in life and sometimes make fun with friends. I am a good listener. I have integrity and respect to others. I likes to get together with my friends and like to talk about ourselves and have fun time with them. I am not a very famous with my friends. It is very important to have a dynamic friendship that can change our behaviour. Visualizing the big 5 personality theory sometimes I am fit to extroversion and sometimes introversion. This can be assessing by the situation that I have to face.
According to Agreeableness theory I am introversion, since I do not like being socialise much, less talkativeness, emotional in my character. I have Agreeableness character such as trust, kindness, love and affection and other social behaviours. Looking at Neuroticism character I feel sadness, stress, anxiety, moodiness and upset. I am high on the trait Conscientiousness like spend time preparing, finish important tasks right away, pay attention to details and enjoy having a set schedule. According to the Openness characteristics I am high in imagination and insight. I am curious to know about the world what is happening with other people. I have interest to learn new things and get experience on it. Self-awareness makes me a very important role in my life and control gaining shape of the character. Expanding self-awareness is likely the first step in gaining control and understanding of life, and our role in it. So it’s no wonder that “the most successful people are the most self-aware people.” (Rosenfeld, 2016)
Let’s Compare and Contrast Both of our Characteristics
My best friend is a very famous person with our friends, in contrast I am not a very famous with my friends. She is very talkative and hang around with people but I am not talkative and do not like to be hang around with people. She always very happy and easy going person. She enjoy being the centre of attention, on the other hand I am not an easy going person and do not like being the centre of attention. Conclusion The Enormous Five Identity characters are valuable for evaluating identity and qualities and shortcomings. It appears that qualities offer a solid establishment for being a great worker and for working with the open. I see that shortcomings got to be checked (by me) so that I can move forward tirelessly in case circumstances cause work to begin to heap up around me. I can direct my emotional highs and lows through self-care. Being proactive is the leading approach towards reinforcing my moderate scores within the principles and enthusiastic categories, whereas permitting my qualities in extraversion, pleasantness, and openness to involvement to stream actually will cause me to do well at work, at domestic, and in life in common.
