Leveraging Habits To Change Your Life - Part Two
According to Clear, the most proven scientific analysis of personality traits (as of the time his book was published) is "The Big Five," which is an inventory of five principle traits. Clear describes the traits as: 1) Openness to Experience (curious and inventive versus cautious and consistent), 2) Conscientiousness (organized and efficient versus easygoing and spontaneous), 3) Extraversion (outgoing and energetic extraversion versus solitary and reserved introversion), 4) Agreeableness (friendly and compassionate versus challenging and detached), and 5) Neuroticism (anxious and sensitive versus calm and stable).
