There are many ways to measure personality, but psychologists have mostly given up on trying to divide humanity neatly into types. Instead, they focus on personality traits. The most widely accepted of these traits are the Big Five:  Openness  Conscientiousness  Extraversion  Agreeableness  Neuroticism Conveniently, you can remember these traits with the handy OCEAN mnemonic. The Big Five are the ingredients that make up each individual's personality. A person might have a dash of openness, a lot of conscientiousness, an average amount of extraversion, plenty of agreeableness and almost no neuroticism at all. Or someone could be disagreeable, neurotic, introverted, conscientious and hardly open at all. Earlier theories have suggested a various number of possible traits, including Gordon Allport's list of 4,000 personality traits, Raymond Cattell's 16 personality factors, and Hans Eysenck's three-factor theory. The five-factor theory emerged to describe the essential traits that serve as the building blocks of personality. The Big Five are the ingredients that make up each individual's personality.
