The Big Questions / Issues
What is stable and identifiable about you? Why is it the “big five” and not something else?? What’s the implication of different personalities?
The Big Five OCEAN
Openness imaginative, curious, intellectual, creative.. Vs: conventional and practical, enjoy routine, “down to earth”
Conscientiousness careful, thorough, well-organized, responsible Vs: careless, inefficient, disorganized, irresponsible
Extraversion Sociable, energetic, assertive, other-oriented Vs: Passive, reserved, quiet, self-oriented
Agreeableness Warm, kind, empathetic, compassionate, trusting Vs: Hostile suspicious, unkind, lacking in trust..
Neuroticism Easily upset, anxious, emotional, self-pitying, worriers.. Vs: Even-tempered, comfortable with selves, calm, stable.
Big Five Issues Seem clearly distinct in general desirability:
there is a “good” side and a “bad” side to each Why has evolution preserved all these “bad”
personalities? What is actually “good” about them? Strong social orientation: mostly about how we
interact with others Openness, Neuroticism about “cognitive /
affective” balance? Openness = approach vs. avoid bias Aren’t these really the same thing anyway?
Gender Differences
Women higher in neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness
Meyers-Briggs?
Freud
Self Esteem, Humanism, and Your Castle
You are the sole regent of your own subjective world (the castle of your mind)
You cannot abdicate the throne! Threats to your rule are existential threats!
We are all defensive, narcissistic, etc..
