Thank you so much!

At first, I could not understand anything you said -- but I must be getting acclimated to the vocabulary and style of presentation. This is good news! :)

Thank you for another excellent and informative video! I’ve read studies about the tendencies of people with high openness but low conscientiousness and vice versa, and I was curious if you knew of any studies about people with both high openness and high conscientiousness. Those are my two highest traits, but openness is stronger for me. I also unfortunately have mildly high neuroticism, but this video helps me to feel better about that. I have somewhat low extroversion and fairly high agreeableness. I have noticed that some extended family members with high openness (some likely have high conscientiousness too, but I don’t know if that’s relevant) are prone to believing unlikely conspiracy theories that aren’t supported or are contradicted by scientific studies. They don’t seem to have schizotypal personality disorder, but I think their high openness can make them vulnerable to subscribing to unconventional beliefs that don’t make sense. I used to work in a research center that studied people’s often puzzling behavior when it came to uncertain catastrophic risk. This was in Florida, and we looked at responses to government messaging, as well as insurance purchasing decisions and evacuation decisions during hurricanes. One construct we became interested in was called Need for Cognitive Closure (NCC). People with high trait NCC feel a powerful need to settle on an answer quickly. These answers often tend to be black and white, and they may not budge from their conclusion even when given repeated contradicting information. High NCC is also linked to delusions. Everyone’s Need for Cognitive Closure increases during stress, or when cognitive resources are depleted due to fatigue, the presence of unpleasant background noise, or even after drinking alcohol. People who already have limited cognitive resources due to executive dysfunction may be prone to making hasty decisions and sticking to them. In other places I’ve also studied sensorimotor gating, which is thought to be impaired in disorders/conditions such as schizophrenia, PTSD, OCD, Tourette’s, ADHD, and autism. People in these populations tend to have trouble filtering out redundant or irrelevant sensory stimuli, and become overwhelmed by it. This can deplete cognitive resources and interfere with executive dysfunction. If people with schizophrenia or traits of the disorder are already flooded with sensory information and have depleted cognitive resources, this could lead to a high need for cognitive closure, especially if they are feeling very anxious. If someone has high openness as well, then they may be open to unconventional ideas at first but then settle on the first semi-plausible explanation they come across. Sorry this was such a long response. I find all of this so interesting! I look forward to watching more of your videos.

Thanks Dr. GRANDE I really enjoyed rhis video. This is very helpful!

This was a great video highlighting the maladaptive traits and personality disorders associated with high and low levels of the five factor traits.

That’s interesting that low neuroticism is associated with not having a sense of humor. I wonder why

vickie g It's not that you don't have a sense of humour. It's just that you don't care. If you're depressed in a way that flatten your feelings it's hard to see anything funny. I think. I'm not sure tho. Just wanted to reply.

I thought that was interesting too. There is a stereotype about comedians tending to have high levels of neuroticism. I wonder how much truth there is to that stereotype. I have above average neuroticism and definitely use humor to cope with difficult emotions. I’ve also heard that some psychopaths (please correct me if I’m using the incorrect term) lack a sense of humor.

@@akehapkap6143 Someone with very low neuroticism doesn't feel anxiety, depression or fear as easily as most. I think your hypothesis is off. I don't think low neuroticism people are depressed and thus have flattened emotions. The cause for their lack of humor must be something else entirely.

A lot of humour is 'stress relief' - it's noting odd things that take the pain out of situations etc. To make fun of/humiliate someone is sadistic however and abuses the knowledge that humour is stress relieving to the other witnesses.

Good explanation of the downside of socially desirable personality characteristics. The downside would be working to hard, being over controlling, taking risks, and exaggerating.

I wish you'd clarify that when you say 'socially desirable' you mean 'desirable in the American culture'. In my culture for instance, high extraversion is seen as a vice, as a type of obnoxiousness. I'm guessing similar differences occur between other cultures.

But, I didn't realize that other cultures had another way of seeing this. That is quite interesting. Even inside a family or a little society something like being obnoxious can be accepted, but in the totally extreme way, maybe not in most cultures. Or?

he doesn't talk about 'traits' in general. he talks about the Big Five personality traits, or OCEAN model, which is an established comprehensive taxonomy in sociology and psychology. it's a specific model. yes, it was developed and used in western society in - what? - 19th c. maybe, 20th c. to put it loosely, it's a somewhat personality test. like MBTI, or socionics, or whatever. just more scientifically correct. at least, regarding western society.

toni. When he talk about traits to me, we are not talking about diagnosis. Traits are some things you can have in your personality, like being introvert or extrovert or both. Here he is going into the extreme and I find, even he gives examples as such, I got it :) Everyone would recognize them selves in any kind of these treats, tho, not in the extreme. I would need much more space to explain what I mean, but I hope you understand. People often get offended, but we all have treats of something. Like, I'm introvert. I don't like it, but it's a part of my personality. Some have narcissistic treats. Don't we all? I do.

besides, extraversion in psychology is not always 'being cheery, overly friendly and annoying' and focusing on interpersonal relationship. Jung, who popularized the term, defined 'extraversion' as 'an attitude type characterised by concentration of interest on the external object'. so you can be quiet and not obnoxious, but just focus more on the outside world than inner world. in the description to this video you can read as follows: ''Low extraversion: anhedonia and social withdrawal High extraversion: being overly controlling, having intense attachments, excessive risk-taking, being flaunting, being loquacious'' i'm known to be an introvert. i have only one friend but i bet i'd score high on extraversion due to my controlling personality, risk-taking and talkativeness (even now i wrote down incredibly long paragraph instead of keeping it short. sorry). and i am far from experiencing anhedonia despite being socially withdrawn (the last time i left the house was two weeks ago). so here, i'm most likely an extravert. in mainstream media definition, i'm the introvert. just an example for you that mainstream media definitions differ from professional definitions in sociology and psychology.

@@akehapkap6143 i wasn't offended in any way. i was just explaining to the OP that dr. Todd Grande was not just talking about random personality traits that he subjectively thinks should categorize people. he was talking about established taxonomy, classification of certain personality traits that was around since at least early 20th century. traits are never a 'diagnosis'. the Big Five is not a diagnosis. it's all about recognizing yourself in these traits. it was made for exactly that purpose. to classify personality traits. it's just how you recognize yourself. psychology in general is all about thing you can have in your personality. it's a science about personality. about who we are, how we differ, what similarities we have, how we think, feel and act. it's not just about diagnosing narcissists and psychopaths. it's about who we, you and i, are. though, maybe you just chose the wrong word and i'm clinging to your use of 'diagnosis' for nothing. sorry if that's the case.

wow good content

most people, who try to be"good citizens" are way too passive, submissive & obedient, wimpy little "yes" people, they ,inevitably, end up being used, abused, walked all over & taken for granted by their friends, fammilies & employers. you have to be a bit rebelious, tough,& not afraid to express your opinions & speak your mind, if you want to be respected!

Thank you for another interesting video. Is there any chance to hear about so-called Empaths (those who claim to be able to pick up random people's emotions, like opposite to NPD and ASPD?) and highly sensitive people?

Thank you! - I have several more about the FFM on the way.

Some of these "symptoms" are pretty intriguing. I think some more elaboration (maybe on another video) on low Neuroticism would be interesting, particularly the lack of sense of humour (which I always attributed to low Positive Emotions facet of Extraversion) and also difficulty recognizing facial expressions (always thought this was linked with sympathy from Agreeableness). Also very curious why does having very high Openness make us self-critical? Isn't this a part of high Neuroticism?

This is what Big Five should have more focus at- It's okay that we should increase/exercise consciousness and that but I think everyone deserves to know that being at the unlucky side actually gives some advantages too!

if there is a strong willingness to improve the personality characteristic is there a way? and if yes what is that way? thank you

So are the extremes of personality facets associated with the mental health disorders you mentioned? Or are they separate constructs which only sound similar?

I have all the bad traits and I either have paranoid or avoidant personality disorder. I was suspecting mild autism. I haven't gone to a real psychologist yet so those are just guesses. I can imagine dependant people are either overly open or overly agreeable: those kind of spineless people who agree with everyone.

I would love to have a test on this. I am always so curios about how would I fit in those systems. I would guess that sure I have high conscientiousness, but fairly mix in the others.

Here you can do this test. understandmyself.com It's called The Big Five Aspects Scale witch is the same as the five-factor model Dr. Grande is talking about. It takes about 15 minutes to do the test online. You have to pay $ 9.95 (USA dollars), but it's a very good test! It's developed in the lab of the well known professor Jordan Peterson. There are several free tests also available on the Internet, but this one is worth your money because there are 100 questions and your responses will be compared to those of 10.000 other people. You get a good and detailed report in your email immediately after you have been doing the test. I did it myself and it's interesting to know your own scores compared to others.

same question

The conscientiousness traits never make sense to me. I’m not conscientiousness but if I put my mind on something and enjoy it I’ll be more conscientious than anyone else.

A downside could be after being recognized so much for being good then starting to believe that you are good all by yourself all the time. Not going to happen because all of us human beings make mistakes in an imperfect world. Like showing favoritism to only a few people over others in the world while feeling angry when told you are healthy enough to leave a military hospital and so you have to give up using their exercise ball for a minute or so while under the influence of a drug with side effects that include headache sometimes. A mistake but not going to be a life sentence.

With anything, there are good and bad sides of good and bad things. The best way to be is to have a balance. Too much of one or the other is hardly ever a good solution.
