The Big Personality TestHow does your personality shape your life? Can it dictate whether you are in the right job, make or break your relationship, influence your health and even how long you'll live?

In this first programme, we catch up on some of the Child of our Time Children, and find out their combination of personality traits. Has James Cachia's chaotic life contributed to him being a fun loving extrovert, and why does Charlotte Langeveld score so high on agreeableness? What does it mean to be high in openness and neuroticism, and can you be too conscientious?
