(Title links to article.)

"Extroversion"= energetic & bouncy “hyperactive” to “eager” to “quiet”

"Neuroticism"= nervousness, sensitivity and caution, combined with curiosity
Similar but not identical to human neuroticism. Canine neurosis, unlike the human version which mainly consists of anxiety, may be related to that of hyenas.“Perhaps a combination of fearfulness and curiosity represents a single factor in the dog but contributes to two separate factors in humans . . . further research will be required to determine the exact components of ‘neuroticism’ in dogs,” says the study.

"Amicability"= happy-go-lucky or gentle
different from friendliness in humans “lacked the altruism qualities commonly found in human studies

"Training Focus"= characteristics selectively bred by humans, such as the ability to follow a scent or retrieve a bird

"Self-assurance"= assertiveness, dominance and comfort in its surroundings.
