The five factors defined in this model include Conscientiousness, agreeableness,neuroticism, openness and extraversion (Cobb-Clark & Schurer, 2012). The characteristicsassociated with the personality factors are-Conscientiousness- Individuals with a high conscientiousness score have the tendency tobe organized and efficient, to exude planned behavior; show self-discipline and aim forachieving their goals Individuals with low conscientiousness are usually easy going,careless, spontaneous, flexible, sometimes sloppy and unreliable (Goldberg, 1993). Agreeableness- High agreeableness score suggests that the individuals are friendly,compassionate, cooperative, well tempered, and can be sometimes perceived assubmissive. Low agreeability suggests that individuals can be challenging, competitive,detached and can be sometimes perceived as untrustworthy (Goldberg, 1993).Neuroticism- High neuroticism suggests tendency to be prone to anger, depression,anxiety, vulnerability and psychological stress. Low neuroticism suggests a calm, stableand well- adjusted individual (Goldberg, 1993).Openness- High openness suggests that individual would be more appreciative towardart, adventure, emotions, unusual ideas, creativity and a number of experiences.
