Answer: The five main features or factors are traditionally referred to as: O (openness to new experiences), C (conscientiousness or responsibility), E (Extraversion) A (agreeableness or kindness), and N (neuroticism or emotional instability), the five form the mnemonic acronym "OCEAN"; each of these factors consist of a more specific set of traits.
