Here are the remaining three of the Big Five personality traits explained in simple terms, along with examples:
3. Extraversion: Extraversion is about how outgoing and sociable a person is. People who score high on extraversion tend to be energetic, talkative, and enjoy social interactions. They often seek the company of others, thrive in group settings, and are comfortable in social gatherings.
An example of an extraverted person might be someone who loves attending parties, is often the life of the conversation, and enjoys meeting new people.
4. Agreeableness: Agreeableness relates to how compassionate, cooperative, and considerate an individual is. Those with high agreeableness are typically kind-hearted, empathetic, and eager to help others. They value harmony in relationships and are skilled at resolving conflicts.
An example of an agreeable person might be someone who volunteers to help a friend move, listens patiently when someone needs to talk, and avoids confrontations.

An example of a person with high neuroticism might be someone who worries excessively about upcoming exams or gets upset over minor setbacks.
