The Big Five model is pretty widely accepted across psychology, but it doesn't necessarily explain where these personality traits come from.
And because it was developed primarily in Western cultures, these five categories may overlook personality traits that are important in non-Western societies, like here in Ghana.
However, it's a useful lens for us to start to take a look ourselves.
All of these traits sit on a spectrum.
Most people actually fall somewhere in the middle.
So to all of those introverts out there, you might not be as introverted as you think.
you probably have some extroverted qualities in there too.
For extroversion and introversion, people who fall in the middle of the scale are called ambiverts.
They like human company and also like being alone .
It's all out of 120, neuroticism, 59, extraversion, 68, openness to experience, 93, agreeableness, 76, conscientiousness, 98.
