Answer
According to the Five Factor Model proposed by Robert McCrae and Paul Costa, the five broad trait factors are:
Openness to Experience
Conscientiousness
Extroversion
Agreeableness
Neuroticism
People who are open to experience are intellectually curious imaginative, appreciative of art, sensitive to beauty. They sometimes tend to think and act in nonconforming, adventurous ways. Those with low openness to experience tend to be cautious, pragmatic, consistent and some times may be dogmatic.
