Psychology personality traits?
A part of my baby book for Psychology is writing about my personality. This is what I have so far, please tell me if there are any traits I am missing:
A.I am open to new experiences, extraverted, and agreeable but stubborn. I am not really competitive but I get a huge sense of achievement when I do well; the feeling of achievement is a huge motivator for me in things like schoolwork and swim meets. I really like making people laugh and I enjoy laughing.

If you are going to talk about 3 of the Big 5 personality traits (Openness, Extraversion, and Agreeableness), you should probably also mention the last two (Conscientiousness and Neuroticism).

personality traits based on what you have described:
adventuresome (open to new experiences) provide examples of this.
extrOverted (sp)– again provide examples
agreeable? how about collaborative (examples)
stubborn contradicts collaborative (explore how these two cause challenges for you.
high achiever=perfectionist–examine the how this causes problems–is it obsessive or compulsive? etc.
feeling of achievement (not a personality trait)–examine the negative side of this as well–would suggest that you are competitive–perhaps with yourself–how does this pose challenges for you–what happens when you do not achieve? explore this aspect.
motivation? where do you get your motivation? some people get their motivation from anxiety–do you? explore this.
sense of humour–again not a personality trait–where does your humour derive? sarcasm? sadism? etc.
The objective of this exercise is to delve into your deepest personality characteristics and to see how they are both beneficial and detrimental. You must explore this in detail!
Good luck–hope this helped.
