The Origin of Personality<br />
Researchers are now attempting to link temperament<br />
differences in infancy with <strong>personality</strong> <strong>traits</strong>:<br />
Activity (energy level) seems to be positively related to<br />
extraversion and negatively related to agreeableness and<br />
conscientiousness.<br />
Inhibition (fearfulness, shyness, withdrawal) seems to be<br />
positively related to neuroticism and negatively related to<br />
extraversion.<br />
Persistence (attention span, distractibility, interest) seems to<br />
be positively related to agreeableness, conscientiousness,<br />
and openness to experience.
