A BIG 5 personality assessment is generally administered using a questionnaire and a multiple-choice response. These questions, for example, examine how much a person agrees or disagrees that they are someone who exemplifies definite specific assertions, such as: Is willing to try new things (for openness) Is constantly thinking about others (for conscientiousness) Is the centre of attention at a gathering (for extroversion) Is it possible to have faith in others? (for agreeableness) Is constantly concerned about the future (for neuroticism or negative emotionality)
