These results suggest that high scores in the specific personality traits conscientiousness, extraversion, and openness, are associated with longevity.
Among the "Big Five" personality traits, conscientiousness is especially predictive of living a longer life. The trait has also been linked to health-related behaviors such as smoking and sleep, which may help explain its link to longevity.
Agreeableness and Conscientiousness showed relatively gradual increases in absolute scores across the life span whereas Neuroticism showed relatively gradual decreases.
This means planning, foresight, and caution are the most valued personality traits when it comes to leading a long life—All traits that C personality types are very familiar with.
As it turns out, decades of research have linked specific personality traits — from conscientiousness to extroversion — to a longer life expectancy. And close friends are surprisingly good at identifying these characteristics.
Ongoing research has suggested that extroverts are more likely to live longer. The reasons for this vary, with some studies noting that people who are outgoing and sociable experience a boost in mood and well-being, which can lead to a more fulfilling life.
The Big 5 personality traits are extraversion (also often spelled extroversion), agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism.
They isolated five. Those who were optimistic, resilient, stubborn, hardworking, and family-oriented, tended to live longer and enjoyed better psychological health.
We become more conscientious and agreeable, and less neurotic. The levels of the “Dark Triad” personality traits, Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy also tend to go down – and with them, our risk of antisocial behaviours such as crime and substance abuse.
According to Model 1, which included all the Big Five personality factors, higher levels of Conscientiousness and Neuroticism were related to a decreased hazard of dying, whereas higher Agreeableness was associated with an increased hazard of dying.
Overall, the persistent, industrious, organized, and disciplined “facets of conscientiousness” were most strongly associated with longevity.

What happens to our personality as we age? A 2018 study suggests that as we age, our levels of calmness, self-confidence, leadership, and social sensitivity increases. In the study, high school students answered a series of questions about personality traits first in 1960 and then again 50 years later.
“INTJ is the rarest personality type for women.” In fact, at about 0.5 percent of the population, INTJ women might be the rarest of any gender/type combination (perhaps only rivaled by INFJ men).
Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality Disorder) A mental health condition, people with dissociative identity disorder (DID) have two or more separate personalities. These identities control a person's behavior at different times. DID can cause gaps in memory and other problems.

Kindness is not only an important trait, but it's also critical for our success as a species. Hamilton explains how oxytocin, produced when we express kindness and compassion, helps us.
On average, introverts and extroverts are the same in terms of intelligence. But statistics show that around 70% of gifted people are introverts. People are considered “gifted” when they exhibit above-average intelligence or a superior talent for something, such as music, art or math.
The main connection is that if you are an introvert you are more likely to sleep more, while if you are an extrovert you are more likely to sleep less. Read on for an explanation. The famous psychiatrist Jung defined introversion as a way of being that is the polar opposite to extraversion.
According to a study published by the Health Psychology journal, introverts are more likely to suffer from sleep deprivation than extroverts are. They are also more likely to have a lot of nightmares or periods of wakefulness. Because of this, introverts are more likely to feel more tired or less alert during the day.
