The Six Facets Facets of Conscientiousness (Five Factor Model of Personality Traits))

This video describes the six facets of the Conscientiousness personality trait from the five factor model of personality. The facets names in this video are from the International Personality Item Pool. The facet names from the NEO-PI-R are provided when the differ from the International Personality Item Pool. The facets of Conscientiousness are Self-Efficacy (Competence), Orderliness (Order), Dutifulness, Achievement-Striving, Self-Discipline, Cautiousness, (Deliberation).
Conscientiousness is a personality trait in the five-factor model of personality traits, which is also known as “The Big Five” model of personality. In this model, personality comprises five personality traits: openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. The acronym OCEAN is helpful for remembering the personality traits. Openness to experience is characterized by insight, creativity, an appreciation of art, intellectual curiosity, and a high awareness of feelings. Conscientiousness is characterized by impulse control, planning tasks carefully, being highly organized and prudence. Extraversion is characterized by getting energy from social interaction, talkativeness, and having a large number of acquaintances. Agreeableness is characterized by being cooperative, increased level of caring, empathy, friendly, seeking to compromise. Neuroticism is characterized by mood dysregulation, anxiety, worry, depression, frustrating, nervousness, being easily upset, and low emotional stability.

This is great. No armchair or pop psychology, just the kind of textbook empirical stuff that is so lacking on youtube.

[@billhildebrand5053]

Six facets. 1. Self Efficacy - ability to accomplish things. To want to achieve tasks. They feel ability and effective. 2. Orderliness, plan, routine, lists. Schedule, and make lists. 3. Dutifulness, obligTion, moral rule. Score high, sense of moral obligation. Low, view irresponsible. 4. Achievement striving. Work diligently to achieve success. One element, if too high, too narrow minded. Too achievement.. 5. Self disciplined will power. When I went to MMBI. 6. Cautious, deliberateness - not impulse. A wise man is cautious. Tends to think thru all aspects. Associated with impulsivity. Usually move in concurrence..

Wanting to compete with their own past performance when it comes to beintg persistent in being able to complete all their tasks at work while not being supervised by anyone is a sure sign of conscientiousness for sure. Dr. Grande you seem to be the kind of person with a high degree of conscientiousness.

[@abc0530]

Dr Todd Grande can you give practical advise on how we can increase each facet of conscientiousness. It would be much appreciated.

[@mateusescossio1641]

This trait seems to be my way out of neuroticism

[@Darknight526]

I agree, it's been 3 months since you've posted your comment, how has it been?

[@angelinastanton7996]

This was a great review on the facets of conscientiousness! It is interesting that individuals who are really high in conscientiousness can tend to be too close-minded on a task or a goal.

[@janicedixon2051]

I scored high in this personality trait overall. I think this happened because I have a type A personality. I like structure, order, aim to be successful and much more.

[@johnharrisjr2808]

This is a great video! My score in conscientiousness is high. This means I set clear goals and pursue them with determination. That's why I'm in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program. People also regard me reliable and hardworking

[@bananaman17]

i’ve followed you from your beginnings on youtube, and often go back to your videos. Thanks a lot for sharing all your knowledge. I feel that in time, i’m reversing my low conscientiousness and high neuroticism with hard work and good habits. i would love to learn more about how people can change for the better. it seems that your videos explain the fact that there’s a sort of fatality, which i don’t want to believe as if people are hardwired and can never change…

[@pranjalsharma4692]

I really appreciate your clear unbiased explanation

[@decoy2636]

I learn more each time I play a video of Dr. Grandes. I find the orderly way of sharing information, using his education, personal experience, insight, personal research and method of delivery combined with a neutral tone to be easy to listen to and not boring enough to put me to sleep. I am learning and find value for my own time here. I do hope others benefit from these too and after clicking on many videos in the past year binge watching for information about the subject of narcissism find Dr. Grandes work high on the list of those videos which are most beneficial to me. Keep up the good work sir, believe it when someone says you are helping people because you have helped me. Thank you Now I have delivered the highest praise I can in an effort to encourage not to destroy by over inflation of ego by such praise. However as any other form of payment for the time spent is not forthcoming I do hope pumping the proverbial tire keeps the videos rolling

[@jemgem9593]

You're a Star. I was confused and now your explanation has helped me understand better, especially the 6 facets within EACH main OCEAN personality trait. Thank you

[@DrGrande]

You're welcome!

[@cindysue5079]

Ok I am super neurotic!!

[@virginiamurrey9139]

I have learned about this topic before; not only is this a great reference to brush up on the information, yet it also offers details and explanations that are better than just reading a textbook.

[@monicaperry13]

I found the I formation that Dr Grande have on the achievement striving facet to be interesting. I never thought s out how someone who is very high in this area could be too narrow mind. Definitely something to consider.

[@lindsaycarlson2986]

Love this video! Very informative! But how do we improve our conscientiousness?

[@veronicabetz9452]

This group of videos are great accompaniment to the assessment.

[@tomryan9827]

Speaking as someone who's HSP and ADD, I'd say I'm extremely high on cautiousness, and extremely low on orderliness and self-discipline. I think you can actually be all over the place with some of these traits.

[@jonasdj11]

HSP doesn't exist. It's a term someone came up with once but is not recognized scientifically. My guess is it's a combination of someone very high in neurotiscism and maybe introverted and agreeable. So you end up with someone that experience a lot of negative emotions all the time, that possibly prefers being alone a lot and cares too much for other people before themselves. No reason to put a disorder-type vibe on it. It's a bullshit term.

[@scarlettchappendenden9059]

Thank you DR. Grande, this was indeed fascinating. I wonder about this. Excellent, by the way. I realise I am not getting all the notifications.! So I hunt them down now! S.

[@randomthoughts6625]

Isn’t it a bit of turn off for scientists that every dimension has exactly 6 subdimensions

[@matejgregoric4400]

So, what can someone who is very low in conscientiousness do to help himself? How much success can one realistically expect?

[@babblingalong7689]

Adopt conscientious behaviour I'm afraid. Which might be difficult to learn since it goes against your nature.

[@dymphnatherese2595]

Does significant trauma sometimes effect how someone behaves within these facets or are the existing facets more so indicative of how one will behave when effected by significant trauma. Do you believe the answer is somewhere in the middle? I'd love to hear your thoughts in depth on this regarding all five factors

[@alexdeloach6472]

It was interesting to learn that higher scores in conscientiousness was associated with high career success.

[@angelinastanton7996]

I also found it interesting that conscientiousness is fairly stable across the lifespan and can be improved with behavioral changes.

[@rainingpatchouli4476]

Awesome info

[@DrGrande]

Thank you!

[@tedoymisojos]

Very helpful.

[@DrGrande]

Thank you!

[@maryfowles807]

I have really high conscientiousness 85th percentile) but I’m also really neurotic (90th percentile) and I’ve struggled with jobs, not performance, but with upper management. I also have good business sense but I’ve not been good at making money because I’m extremely creative (95th percentile) Is there anything I can do or any advice you can give me?

[@saminarose80]

I’m very high on consciousness and it annoys other people except at work. Many can’t understand my organizational thought process! It makes me nervous to be spontaneous and disorganized like most people are! I feel so lonely.

[@Hassan-jp1bg]

Sounds like you describe me, so you aren't lonely 😋

[@alwaysincentivestrumpethic6689]

Great

[@Ravenzpeak]

Can these scores change over time or under different circumstances? Because I score high on everything in this list except I am so burned out from working so darn hard for the past 30 yrs that although I can handle "unpleasant" tasks, it makes me resentful that once again I'm elected to do all the dirty work. So now, am I lower on 'conscientiousness' than I used to be?

[@randomcontent9633]

Here from genomelink which says I have a tendency to low consciousness and high neuroticism which i also did research on in terms of success in relationships and I'm kind of bummed out about my genetic traits

[@blurse3028]

What do you think about overlaps on personality test. For example one of the facets on openness to agreeness is adventurousness which seems to contradict the facet of conscientious: order. I don’t know what to think of this, if anyone has a somewhat informed opinion please share.

[@MrAshred86]

Other than nature what are some of examples of what might cause a higher score on the personality traits?

[@johnp8903]

Source on these facets? I need these for an assignment, but can't find the original publisher of the definitions to the facets for IPIP.

[@nanasloves]

I understand there are two sides of the same coin in personalities…. I’ve heard that they can feel like they are never good enough. I have seen this and it makes sense. What do you think? Thanks

[@AntiToxic4u]

Can i develop this trait to be higher? Especially having being diagnosed with ADHD impulsivity is a hall mark and we have a problem with the executive function. My self esteem is always tied to achieving and wanting to accomplish a lot to feel good about myself. I know I have to work harder and put out more effort because of adhd and to develop my traits.

[@barrydworak]

If the facets can vary independently, but often correlate, would this not suggest that they are actually the results of different, unnamed facets?

[@mmvh966]

I find these traits may be improved

[@judsongaiden9878]

I'm high on both Openness and Conscientiousness, but also moderate on Neuroticism. Regarding orderliness, people often tell me I'm "anal," but I prefer to be thought of as "analytical." I don't get along well with low-Openness/no-imagination types. They're always the ones to start a conflict, though. Probably because they're Philistine barbarians.

[@LoveOneAnotherHeSaid]

So, what is the background for why these traits are regarded as success, when so much of this path in life drives people to the worst?

[@jimmyfortef3674]

How come jordan Peterson's big 5 onlynhas 2 sub categories of each of the big 5

[@billhildebrand5053]

Jordan Peterson divides The five traits as follows. Comment 125: 57,541 views. Plasticity ( extroversion, Openness) O CE A N. ( first and third ) - C -A N. ( 2nd, 4th, 5th. ) Conscientious, Emotional Stability, Agreeableness.

[@parsoumash]

What happens when you are high in neuroticism and conscientiousness?

[@nmohs13]

Eating disorders...

[@Jokaanan]

welcome to my fucking life

[@MatthewAshworth]

For those who are high on Neuroticism that also have a high Conscientiousness, it can be an advantage, because you'd often be the first to notice a problem or when something is wrong (Neuroticism) and to take action to resolve it while it's still not too late (Conscientiousness).

[@josephe620]

Neuroticism can impede conscienctiousness because working hard induces stress And neurotic people can't seem to handle it very well

[@Mlpgirl168]

he said in another video that conscientiousness supersedes neuroticism.

[@governmentknowsrealname]

Yeah, sure.

[@mcurcio8315]

Im high in extraversion, openess, agreeableness, and neuroticism, but low in conscientiousness😅😅😅

[@judsongaiden9878]

I'm high in Openness and Conscientiousness, and moderate in Extroversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. Type SLOAI.

[@nmohs13]

I’ve never scored lower than 95th percentile on this trait 😅

[@mslowiko1984]

I scored in the 3rd percentile

[@babblingalong7689]

I've recently learned I am not very conscientious.

[@justme-ld9xz]

Can someone be high in orderliness and have severe ADD? Or are they just coping skills?
