Lead Paragraph
[edit]I think this article is very well done so far, but I did notice that the lead paragraph could maybe use some revising. I noticed that in the description of the big 5 personality traits, they used the word personality trait in the definition. This is a bit confusing for readers who are looking for a true definition. I also think it would be helpful if the lead paragraph contained a summary of the different topics that will be discussed in the content of the article so readers know what to expect.

- I gave an edit to the first sentence of the lead paragraph clarifying the definition of the Big five trying to maintain the meaning of what was previously stated. I do think there is still something missing from my small edit, I just can't think of it. GardenVarietyChef (talk) 00:40, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
I have noticed that throughout the article that some words are bolded and contain definitions when hovered over, and I wonder if the same could be done for the word "taxonomy". If so, then I feel like it would aid in adding to some small level of understanding.Bcraymond01 (talk) 18:18, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
- I took out the word taxonomy in the lead-in since it was accompanied by grouping anyway, which should be sufficient. later in the article when the word is used it is used appropriately. GardenVarietyChef (talk) 00:44, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
More description or images?
[edit]This article shows the importance of each personality. However, more description could be used. For example, the article describes each of the personalities, how these personalities work. The visual of each of these personalities should correlate an image being made for each one to gain a description of how the personalities can be made out with us. This can be used by having a real life, or experience that describes each of the personalities listed in the Big Five Personalities. 66.219.222.22 (talk) 04:55, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
I agree that more description could be used to articulate personality better and adding real-life examples isn't a bad idea. I also think a few more pictures could add to the article and liven it up a bit. Giules02 (talk) 05:03, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
Neuroticism
[edit]Last full paragraph in this section has no real source. Can we find a source for this last sentence? Gracepel (talk) 02:18, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
Highly Objectionable and Unsupported reversal of Agreeableness
[edit]critical/rational as the opposite of friendly/compassionate is certainly wrong, telling, and unsupported. I suggest replacing rational with judgmental which is what's in Agreeableness. Lycurgus (talk) 07:00, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
