O.C.E.A.N

This post has nothing to do with water bodies of any sort :) This post is dedicated to someone who told me "how-to-spot-a-creep-quickly" :D (He wants me to refer to him as Mr.Natwarlal for some reason;which I absolutely won't do :) )
All this started when we were discussing the prelude to happily ever after:blind dating guys your parents choose.. you get the drift right.. I was told that it is very easy to decide how a person is depending on the big 5 personality traits.

In contemporary psychology, the "Big Five" factors (or Five Factor Model; FFM) of personality are five broad domains or dimensions of personality which are used to describe human personality.

  • Openness to experience – (inventive/curious vs. consistent/cautious). Appreciation for art, emotion, adventure, unusual ideas, curiosity, and variety of experience.
  • Conscientiousness – (efficient/organized vs. easy-going/careless). A tendency to show self-discipline, act dutifully, and aim for achievement; planned rather than spontaneous behavior.
  • Extraversion – (outgoing/energetic vs. solitary/reserved). Energy, positive emotions, surgency, and the tendency to seek stimulation in the company of others.
  • Agreeableness – (friendly/compassionate vs. cold/unkind). A tendency to be compassionate and cooperative rather than suspicious and antagonistic towards others.
  • Neuroticism – (sensitive/nervous vs. secure/confident). A tendency to experience unpleasant emotions easily, such as anger, anxiety, depression, or vulnerability.
Hence, the name OCEAN :). Here is the wiki link to this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits
