Answer to Question 2

Answer: The big five personality dimensions are neuroticism, extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience.

Extroversion represents a tendency to be sociable, assertive, and active. Openness to experience is the disposition to be imaginative, nonconforming, unconventional, and autonomous. Agreeableness is the tendency to be trusting, compliant, caring, and gentle. Conscientiousness is comprised of two related facets including achievement and dependability.
