Though extraversion and neuroticism seem to have the largest effect on personal happiness, other Big 5 [clarification needed] personality factors have also been shown to correlate with happiness and subjective well-being.

Some diseases cause changes in personality.

Traits are in contrast to states, which are more transitory dispositions.
