The most scientifically backed theory of personality breaks it up into what are called the “five factors”: How open you are to learning and experiencing new things (openness to new experience) How organized, motivated, and goal-directed you are (conscientiousness) How energized and connected you are around other people (extroversion) How friendly and optimistic you are toward other people (agreeableness) How well you handle stress and other negative emotions (neuroticism)
