While hoomons tend to range widely in our distribution of manifested traits, they're seeing four distinct clusterings when viewing the main five personality traits.
I've always thought that the wide range of traits and roles we've exhibited over the ages, has been what made us such a successful a species.
And that we're so very cunning.

(54,436 posts)Literally "a Serbian calm," or, colloquially, "the epitome of calm." When my wife's cousin first visited the Virginia house I grew up in, on the shore of a peaceful lake, she said, "so this is why you two (my brother and I) are so laid back."
I've been called lots of things in the meantime, but "neurotic" hasn't yet been one of them.
