- Openness to experience/intellect: Are you eager to try new experiences and ideas, or are you more comfortable having experiences stay the same most of the time?
- Conscientiousness: How organized of a person are you? Are you a reliable person, or are you generally careless with your actions?
- Extraversion: Are you a social person who feels “recharged” when interacting with other people, or are you a quiet, more reserved person who prefers solitude?
- Agreeableness: Would you say you are a compassionate, forgiving, and understanding person, or do you tend to be more critical and blunt to people?
- Neuroticism: Are you someone who is nervous, anxious, and worries about the future, or are you calm and hard to fluster?
