*According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association, personality traits are "enduring patterns of perceiving, relating to, and thinking about the environment and oneself that are exhibited in a wide range of social and personal contexts."

*Theorists generally assume that a) traits are relatively stable over time, b) traits differ among individuals, and c) traits influence behaviour. They consistently are used in order to help define people as a whole. Traits are relatively constant; they do not usually change.

*Openness to Experience: the tendency to be imaginative, independent, and interested in variety vs. practical, conforming, and interested in routine.
