This description of your Big Five Personality Traits includes the effect your personality has on your career, relationships, family, and even your health.

First, here’s a quip:

“From birth to age 18, a girl needs good parents, from 18 to 35 she needs good looks, from 35 to 55 she needs a good personality, and from 55 on she needs cash.” – Sophie Tucker.

If you don’t have good parents or cash — you might want to focus on your personality traits!

These personality traits can and do change, and they’re known as the Big Five Personality Traits to psychologists. The changes differ in men and women, and don’t change with your mood. It doesn’t matter if you’re thrilled or terrified: you’ll still show signs of your Big Five Personality Traits.

1. Conscientiousness. Organization, discipline, excellent performance, and dedication (especially in the workplace) are the hallmarks of this trait. Conscientiousness increases as both men and women age, especially during your 20’s.

2. Agreeableness. Generous, helpful, friendly, pleasant and easy to be around; these social people usually have strong relationships. Researchers found that agreeableness increases during your 30’s in both men and women.

3. Neuroticism. Woody Allen may exemplify this trait; he worries excessively and seems emotionally unstable and anxious. Neurotics are more likely to struggle with depression and sadness. This trait declines in women as they age, and stays the same in men. Introverts aren’t necessarily neurotic, but their personality traits can become a problem (read When Introverted Personality Traits Become Problematic for more info).

4. Openness. Honest, available, curious and willing to try new things. Insight and imagination are part of your daily routine. This trait declines slightly as both men and women age.

5. Extroversion. Extroverts are talkative and assertive; they get energy from groups and being in the spotlight. Indeed, being alone and quiet isn’t fun at all. Extroversion declines for women and doesn’t change in men. For more info on extroverts, read 7 Tips for Saving Money for Extroverts.
