A personality trait is a characteristic that is distinct to an individual. Psychologists determined that there are five major personality traits and that everyone falls into at least one of them.
Psychologists believe the five common personality traits are extrovert, neurotic, open, agreeable and conscientious. Someone with an open personality tends to be artistic, inventive and curious. Extroverts are described as being full of energy, outgoing and are often viewed as the life of the party. Conscientious individuals live with a purpose. They are dedicated, focused and ambitious. Neurotic personalities tend to be very nervous, worrisome and on edge. Agreeable individuals are cooperative, compassionate and very accepting. These traits can directly affect a person's overall quality life and can even affect how their body overcomes illness.
