Has the Covid-19 pandemic altered your personality? Well, new research says so. 

A study published in the PLUS ONE journal suggests that the Covid-19 pandemic has not only impacted people's life but has altered their personalities too, especially among young adults. 

For the study, researchers compared five-factor model personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness and conscientiousness) of 7,109 people from February 2020 to December 2021. 

Limited personality changes were observed early in the pandemic compared to 2021. As per researchers, young adults became moodier, less cooperative, irresponsible and were more prone to stress.
