It encompasses five dimensions of personality: Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. Each of these five traits can be further broken down into facets. For example, Openness to Experience contains facets such as Intellect, Imagination, and Curiosity.
