In recent years researchers in human personality have come to a rarely achieved near unanimous conclusion: human personality is structured around a very few major traits, probably five in number. These factors, sometimes called the Big Five and represented by the acronym OCEAN, are
Openness to experience
Conscientiousness
Extroversion
Agreeableness
Neuroticism
