Answer to Question 1

Answer: Yes, the Big Five incorporates traits used in other models of personality. For example, many previous models and questionnaires included traits similar to neuroticism, such as Hans Eysenck's neurotic measure. Even though some measures were developed before the Big Five, they measure the same trait. This is what makes the Big Five so versatile.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The Big Five includes important information about people's ability to survive and reproduce. For example, extraversion helps people connect with others, which can be helpful for hunting, teamwork, and reproduction. Conscientiousness helps people survive through careful planning and hard work.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
