It's a very interesting article, with lots of information. Briefly, researchers found:
* Emotional stability: Neuroticism was genetically linked to depression and anxiety disorders.
* Extraversion vs. introversion: A genetic connection appeared between extroverted traits – such as being highly active and talkative – and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD.
* Openness to experience: This trait includes positive attributes like intellectual curiosity and creativity. However, a link was found to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
* Agreeableness vs. antagonism: There was less likelihood of a related psychiatric disorder for easy-to-get-along-with personalities.
* Conscientiousness vs. unreliability: Traits like diligence and dependability were also tied to a lower risk of developing mental illness.
