1Understanding My Personality Traits and Their Development

National University
PSYCH 429: Intro to Personality Theory

**Introduction:**
Personality traits play a crucial role in shaping individuals' behaviors, attitudes, and outcomes in
various life domains. This paper explores my own personality traits in the dimensions of
agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience, as well as the levels of stability
and change in these traits across the lifespan.
**Evaluation of Online Tests:**
The Big Five Personality Test and the Openness to Experience Test provided insightful results
about my personality traits. I found them to be relatively accurate in capturing my tendencies and
preferences. However, I recognize that these tests are not professional assessments and may not
fully capture the complexity of my personality (Gosling, Rentfrow, & Swann, 2003).
**Stability of Personality Traits:**
Research indicates that personality traits show a degree of stability across the lifespan, with some
traits being more stable than others (Roberts & DelVecchio, 2000). Conscientiousness, for
example, tends to be relatively stable, while openness to experience may be more prone to
change over time.
**Strategies for Strengthening or Changing Traits:**
I would like to strengthen my conscientiousness, as I believe it would benefit me in both
personal and professional settings. To accomplish this, I plan to set specific goals, create a
structured daily routine, and practice time management techniques. Additionally, I will seek
feedback from others to identify areas for improvement and track my progress over time.
