Personality and well-being measures were administered to 554 individuals. Big Five and facets of Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R; Costa & McCrae, 1992) were compared in order to find out the best predictors of subjective well-being (SWB). Facets and other personality traits, such as optimism, self-esteem and social support, accounted for twice the variance in results as compared to the Big Five. Optimism and depression were the main predictors of happiness and life satisfaction, whereas vulnerability was the strongest predictor of positive affect, and self-esteem of negative affect.
