According to the Big Five personality model, developed by several sets of researchers starting in the 1940s, the human personality can be divided into five broad categories or domains -- openness, conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism and extroversion (also spelled extraversion).

根据大五性格模型(Big Five personality model)，人的性格可划分为五大类别或范畴，分别是开放性、尽责性、亲和性、神经质和外向性。该模型是几批研究者从上世纪40年代开始建立起来的。

Within each category are specific traits and behaviors. Extroversion, for example, encompasses traits such as gregariousness and warmth. Neuroticism includes anger, anxiety and vulnerability.

每大类别中都包括一些特征和特定行为。比方说，外向性中包括合群和热情等特征。神经质中则包括愤怒、焦虑和脆弱。

Some personality types are more successful than others, experts say. People who are more conscientious tend to do better in the workplace and school, Dr. Soto says. People who score high on agreeableness and low on neuroticism tend to have more satisfying and stable relationships. Extroverts do better in social and entrepreneurial occupations.

专家们称，一些性格类型的人会比其他人更成功。索托博士说，比较尽责的人在职场和学校里往往表现更出色。亲和度高、情绪稳定的人往往拥有更满意、更稳定的恋爱关系。外向型者则更擅长从事人际交往和创业方面的工作。
