In the book

He listed a dozen of them — courage, temperance, generosity, good temper, truthfulness, friendliness, justice — and it is no bad exercise to score yourself against that list from time to time. Modern psychology maps the same terrain with five broad dimensions — openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism, the OCEAN of personality — but do not read them as boxes you are trapped in: every trait is a spectrum, not a type, and your whole personality is less a label than a tapestry, an intricate weave in which every thread matters and no single one, pulled, unravels the rest. Let me walk you through the few traits I most want you to build. — The Relationship With Yourself (Traits/Reflection)
