Which of the following is not one of the Big Five personality traits?

Agreeableness
Neuroticism
Aggressiveness
Conscientiousness

The correct answer is: Aggressiveness

The Big Five personality traits, a widely recognized model in psychology, include five key dimensions: openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. Each of these traits captures a range of behaviors and tendencies that individuals might exhibit. Aggressiveness is not one of the Big Five traits. While it can be reflected in other traits, such as low agreeableness or high neuroticism, it is not categorized as a distinct trait within this model. Agreeableness, neuroticism, and conscientiousness are explicitly part of the Big Five structure. This model is an essential framework in personality psychology, as it helps in understanding how these traits influence behavior and interpersonal relationships. Recognizing which characteristics belong to the Big Five allows for a more nuanced discussion about personality and its implications in various contexts.
