Harm avoidanceHarm avoidance (HA) is a personality trait characterized by excessive worrying; pessimism; shyness; and being fearful, doubtful, and easily fatigued. In MRI studies HA was correlated with reduced grey matter volume in the orbito-frontal, occipital and parietal regions. Harm avoidance is a temperament assessed in the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), its revised version (TCI-R) and the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ) and is positively related to the trait neuroticism and inversely to extraversion in the Revised NEO Personality Inventory and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire.
Novelty seekingIn psychology, novelty seeking (NS) is a personality trait associated with exploratory activity in response to novel stimulation, impulsive decision making, extravagance in approach to reward cues, quick loss of temper, and avoidance of frustration. It is measured in the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire as well as the later version Temperament and Character Inventory and is considered one of the temperament dimensions of personality. Like the other temperament dimensions, it has been found to be highly heritable.
Ouverture à l'expérienceL'ouverture est l'un des grands domaines utilisés pour décrire la personnalité dans le modèle des Big Five ainsi que dans le modèle HEXACO. Il s'agit de la tendance d'une personne à s'ouvrir aux expériences, quelles que soient la nature de celles-ci. L'ouverture comporte six facettes ou dimensions qui peuvent être mesurées au travers du NEO PI-R, un test de personnalité fondé sur le modèle des Big Five.
PsychoticismPsychoticism is one of the three traits used by the psychologist Hans Eysenck in his P–E–N model (psychoticism, extraversion and neuroticism) model of personality. Psychoticism is conceptually similar to the constraint factor in Tellegen's three-factor model of personality. Psychoticism may be divided into narrower traits such as impulsivity and sensation-seeking. These may in turn be further subdivided into even more specific traits. For example, impulsivity may be divided into narrow impulsivity (unthinking responsivity), risk taking, non-planning, and liveliness.
ConscienciositéLa conscienciosité ou conscience est un trait de personnalité mis en évidence au travers du modèle des Big Five ainsi que du modèle HEXACO. C'est un trait qui consiste à être approfondi, prudent et vigilant et qui implique un désir de bien faire une tâche. Les personnes consciencieuses sont généralement efficaces et organisées par opposition à d'autres qui privilégieraient le travail vite fait et désorganisé.
