Big Five Inventory

Your Results:
This assessment examined the Big Five Personality Dimensions, which are (1)
extraversion, (2) agreeableness, (3) conscientiousness, (4) neuroticism, and (5) openness.
Let's check out your scores.

Extraversion - 81st percentile - very high

Agreeableness - 90th percentile - very high

Conscientiousness - 44th percentile - about average

Neuroticism - 42nd percentile - about average

Openness - 69th percentile - high

These scores are percentiles. They tell you how high you score relative to other people. So,
for example, you scored in the 81st percentile of extraversion. That means that you are more
extraverted than 81% of people who have taken this assessment online.

Extraversion
You score higher than 81% of other people on extraversion. That's very high. People high
in extraversion are talkative, sociable, and love to be around people. They are
adventurous, take risks, and generally view life as a playground. They tend to experience
positive emotions.

In contrast, individuals low in extraversion, or introverts, tend to prefer to withdrawal and

spend time alone. They are able to enjoy activities that provide lower levels of stimulation,
and may prefer social situations that allow close conversation with a few friends rather
than high-energy situations with many people. They prefer to play it safe and not take too
many risks. They may be more even-keeled in their emotions and not experience as many
high-highs.

Agreeableness
You score in the 90th percentile of agreeableness. That's very high. People high in
agreeableness are motivated to maintain positive social relationships. They are

empathetic, caring, less prejudiced, and may hide their emotions in order to get along
better with others.

People low in agreeableness don't place a a huge emphasis on maintaining positive

relationships with others. Because of this they may be more blunt and forthcoming with
their emotions, as opposed to hiding them for the sake of good relationships. They may be
more likely to express their individuality, and less likely to be taken advantage of by
others.

Conscientiousness
You're in the 44th percentile of conscientiousness, which is about average. Highly
conscientious people are organized, responsible, orderly, and dutiful. They tend to respect
authority and follow rules. Because they are organized and responsible, they tend to be on
time to meetings.

People low in conscientiousness can be more careless, spontaneous, and unstructured.

They may have a more difficult time making it to meetings on time, but they may also be
seen as more relaxed by their peers.

Neuroticism
You score about average in neuroticism. People high in neuroticism are likely to
experience frequent negative emotions, including stress, anxiety, and feelings of low self-
worth. On the other hand, individuals high in neuroticism may experience a richer array of
emotions. They are also more vigilant in detecting dangers in their surroundings--both real
and imagined.

Individuals low in neuroticism tend to be more emotionally stoic. They don't experience a
wide array of negative emotions, and may stay close to their emotional baseline at most
times. On the extreme side of low neuroticism, people may be unaware and/or unafraid of
legitimate dangers around them.

Openness
You score higher in openness than 69% of other people. That's high. Openness is a
broad, diffuse personality dimension. Because of this, researchers originally had a difficult
time naming this dimension and called it many different things in the past, including
intellect and culture. Openness is similar to what Maslow described as self-
actualization. Presently, most researchers call this personality dimension openness to
experience.

People who are high in openness tend to love art, music, and literature. They are highly
creative, whimsical, and insightful. They tend to be prone to intellectual discussion and
processing new ideas. As its name suggests, individuals characterized by openness love
new experiences, including visiting new places, trying new food, and hearing new ideas.
Because of this, open individuals tend to be a little more politically liberal. Highly open
people may take more time to reflect on their thoughts and feelings, and as such, may
have greater self-insight.

People low in openness tend to prefer routine. They like familiar situations, and may
dislike trying new foods or visiting new places. They may feel somewhat confident in their
current thoughts, ideas, and beliefs, and may be less likely to consider new ideas and
different beliefs. Their lifestyles tend to foster stability and security. Non-open individuals
tend to learn more politically conservative.

Background on the Big Five

The Big Five personality dimensions are broad "categories" that contain many personality
traits. For example, the dimension of extraversion contains traits like sociability,

10/30/2017 Personality Assessor | Big Five Inventory

talkativeness, gregariousness, risk taking, and happiness.

All of the traits within a Big Five personality dimension tend to covary, or go together. For
example, if you are sociable, you are more likely to also be talkative, gregarious, take
risks, and be happier, etc. This is not a hard and fast rule. So, it's possible that someone
might be sociable but unhappy. But in general if someone is sociable, they are also likely
to be happy.

Because of the way the personality traits naturally group together, psychologists believe
that there is a common factor that underlies or causes the traits to group together. Those
factors are the Big Personality dimensions. So, a person's level of extraversion is thought
to cause them to be sociable, and also cause them to be happy.

When you look at how all of the personality traits in the dictionary clump together, five big
groups of words appear (e.g., [1:] sociable, outgoing, gregarious, happy; [2:] kind,
empathetic, warm, loving; [3:] responsible, orderly, organized, punctual; etc.) Those five
big groups are the Big Five Personality dimensions. They account for somewhere
between a half and two-thirds of all of the personality traits that appear in the dictionary.
This means that most of the important differences between people's personalities
can be simplified into the Big Five Personality dimensions.

sometimes people answer what they would like to be like, not
necesarily what they are like in actuality; in that case they get
mismatched results
