Abstract

The purpose of this study was to use descriptive analysis to investigate the personality
characteristics and demographic profile of a sample group. 50 people in all took part in the study, with the majority being women (68%) and those in the 21–30 age range (38%). Seventy percent
were self-employed, sixty-six percent were single, and eighty-two percent were part of two- to
four-person nuclear households. In terms of education, 48% had postgraduate degrees, while
24% made between ₹10,000 and ₹20,000 a month. A five-point Likert scale based on the Big
Five Personality dimensions was used to evaluate personality characteristics. The majority of
interviewees described themselves as gregarious yet not reserved, indicating moderate levels of
extraversion. The majority showed high levels of agreeableness, rejecting fault-finding conduct
and showing trust in others. Though opinions on laziness differed, more than half of respondents
said they were thorough in their conscientiousness. Even while the majority of respondents said
they managed their stress well, a sizable percentage nevertheless occasionally felt anxious, which
is indicative of mild neuroticism. While comments about imagination were more neutral, artistic
interests demonstrated an openness to experience. All things considered, the study sheds light on
the sample group's sociodemographic background and personality traits, laying the groundwork
for future behavioral and psychological investigations.
