In each of the next five question spaces, you will list one of the Big Five, plus five additional words. First, type one Big Five trait. Then, list the metatrait (higher-order factor) to which each Big Five trait belongs. Then, list the two aspects (subfactors) of that Big Five trait. After each aspect, please type in parentheses a descriptive word associated with that aspect (for example, “talkative” – but you can’t use “talkative,” since I provided it). These words cannot be the same word or a form of the same word as any of the trait labels in the line above (so “extraverted” is not allowed, for example). Also, unlike the other words in the answers, the descriptors do not have to be exact terms from the textbook or lectures. Therefore, each short answer question should have the following format: Big Five trait, Metatrait, Aspect 1 (descriptor), Aspect 2 (descriptor) Make sure each of the question spaces has a different Big Five trait, with its accompanying five words.
