Abstract: Abstract Personality psychologists have identified five distinct personality traits, all independent of one another, that help explain (non-tautologically) work, social, and health behaviors. Some of these traits are used extensively in everyday language — like extraversion — and used descriptively accurately although few people understand the biological basis of traits. Some traits, like neuroticism, are powerfully associated with a very specific range of behaviors like health and help-seeking.
