Curiosity, imagination and interest in new things.
Conscientiousness
Organisation, reliability and self-discipline.
Extraversion
Energy from people, talkativeness and enthusiasm.
Agreeableness
Warmth, trust and cooperation.

Questions
Is the Big Five better than other personality tests?
It is the model most used in research because it is measured on scales rather than boxed into types, and it predicts real outcomes fairly well.
Are these the official Big Five questions?
There is no single official version. The statements here were written for this site and score the same five traits.
Does personality change?
Slowly. Most people become a little more conscientious, agreeable and emotionally steady as they get older.
