The test you've just taken is a short
version of the Five Factor model of identity. Among psychology experts,
this approach has become broadly accepted for its accuracy and consistency.
The five dimensions in this model give a complete description of your
personality traits: Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness,
Extraversion, Agreeableness and
Negative Emotionality. Read below to see your scores and understand
what they mean.
Openness To Experience
Your high score in the Openness category means that you probably have
a strong creative streak. Your broad intellectual curiosity and your
interest in the various arts set you apart. Some people may consider
you somewhat of a dreamer, and your taste for variety often means moving
quickly on to the next experience. This tendency makes you appear a
bit flighty and inconsistent. But these elements of your personality
simply reflect a character full of new ideas and charged with emotions.
Conscientiousness
Your high score in the Conscientiousness category means that you feel
a strong compulsion towards duty and responsibility. You are probably
a very organized person, and pride yourself on your professional competence.
Work is a very high priority in your life, and defines your vision of
success. You have a careful attitude towards making decisions, and think
them through carefully. With such a strong conscience, and a devotion
to accomplishment, it's likely that you're considered extremely dependable.
Extraversion
Your medium score in the Extraversion category defines your social identity.
You are probably comfortable in either a crowd or by yourself, and spending
time alone or with company is equally enjoyable. When among others,
you tend to stand in the foreground, although you may not always wish
to take the position of a leader. Instead, you seem to prefer moving
between the role of leader and follower, as the situation requires.
You probably keep a moderately active social life; you're generally
on the lookout for excitement, but certainly don't require it. You tend
to keep a fairly positive emotional outlook, and people can usually
count on your for some good cheer.
Agreeableness
The Agreeableness category refers to your social disposition. Your medium
score indicates someone who balances the priorities of your own inner
voice with the needs of others. You tend to be concerned with the harmony
of the group, while maintaining a certain independence. Depending on
the situation, you might adopt a stance that defers to the wishes of
others, or else assert your own individuality. In this way, you have
a great deal of tact, and believe in the situational equality of people.
You probably have an approachable and kind personality. People probably
admire you for your ability to speak your mind when appropriate.
Negative Emotionality
Negative Emotionality refers to your emotional reactivity. Your medium
score means that you're someone who negotiates your emotions depending
on your situation. Sometimes you may feel quite sensitive and emotional,
while other times you may remain resilient to outside pressures. This
quality of adaptation best describes your emotional character. You maintain
a rational outlook, which is moderated by feelings. For example, you
can sometimes feel sad, stressed, worried or embarrassed under the weight
of a situation, but you are able to act quite calm and reserved, without
yielding to the stress. Responsive, without being overly reactive, is
the best way to describe you.
