I need some decent explanations/descriptions for each of the 30 Big5 facets, like a1, a2, a3 etc etc. I have been googling around for it, but all I have found are very short descriptions that vary too much. There must be some kind of official, scientific definition of the facets somewhere, but where can I find it?

$\begingroup$ Are you only interested in the NEO PI Big 5 facet structure? It is worth noting that there are other many other factor-facet models of personality, some of which are also based on the Big 5. $\endgroup$– Jeromy AnglimJun 1, 2015 at 6:09

$\begingroup$ As long as it's the Big 5 facets and the descriptions are more than 1-2 sentences per facet I am happy :) The latter is my challenge $\endgroup$– Berit LarsenJun 1, 2015 at 7:44
