Robert McCrae and Paul Costa began personality trait and factor research in the late 1970’s. In 1985, they began to promote the five factor model. They identified basic tendencies as central components of personality which make up the ‘raw material’ of personality, describing personal capacities and dispositions which define the individual’s potential and direction of living (Feist & Feist, 2006). McCrae and Costa identified five dimensions of personality.

Extraversion refers to the tendency to be affectionate, joining, talkative, fun-loving, active, and passionate, contrasted by the tendency to be reserved, alone, quite, and socially passive ( introversion). Costa and McCrae kept the neuroticism factor as well, with high neuroticism including tendencies to be anxious, temperamental, self-conscious, emotional, vulnerable, and self-pitying. Those scoring low on the neuroticism scale would tend to be calm, even tempered, comfortable, and self-satisfied. McCrae and Costa’s openness to experience factor had high-scoring individuals as imaginative, creative, variety-seeking, curious and liberal, while individuals who scored low on this spectrum tended to be down-to-earth, conventional, routinized, conservative, and not curious or creative. Individuals who scored high on the agreeableness factor would tend to be trusting, generous, lenient, good-natured and soft-hearted, while those who scored low on the agreeableness dimension would tend to be ruthless, suspicious, stingy, antagonistic, critical and irritable. The final factor identified by McCrae and Costa was conscientiousness. This factor had high scorers tend towards being well-organized, hardworking, punctual, persevering and ambitious, with low scorers tending towards negligence, disorganization, tardiness, laziness, and aimlessness (Feist & Feist, 2006).

CHALLENGE: Select a personality trait, and explore how it might impact a person’s motivations and methods of meeting psychological needs.
