Personality has consequences. Measures of personality have contemporaneous and predictive relations to a variety of important outcomes. Using the Big Five factors as heuristics for organizing the research literature, numerous consequential relations are identified. Personality dispositions are associated with happiness, physical and psychological health, spirituality, and identity at an individual level; associated with the quality of relationships with peers, family, and romantic others at an interpersonal level; and associated with occupational choice, satisfaction, and performance, as well as community involvement, criminal activity, and political ideology at a social institutional level.

人格和对结果的预测。

人格具有后果。人格量度与各种重要结局具有同时性和预测性关系。使用五大因素作为组织研究文献的试探法，可以确定许多必然的关系。人格倾向与个人水平上的幸福，身体和心理健康，灵性和身份有关。在人际关系上与同伴，家人和浪漫的其他人的关系质量有关；并与职业选择，满意度和绩效，以及社区参与，犯罪活动和社会制度层面的政治意识形态相关。
