For example, when looking at job satisfaction, a person with a high level of neuroticism is more likely to be less satisfied with their job (Judge, Heller & Mount, 2002). In reality they would probably be unhappy in most areas of their life as neuroticism often causes highly neurotic people to see everything negatively. Another definition from other researchers is that neuroticism is actually a general way of reacting to any situation (Neal, Yeo, Koy & Xiao, 2012). This obviously refers to how highly neurotic people tend to be very suspicious and paranoid of everything and everyone, compared to those who have a low core.
