The test you've just taken is a short version of the Five Factor model of personality. 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
|
|
|
|
|
|
| less curious | more curious |
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
|

 |
|
|
|
| less focused | more focused |
Your medium score in the Conscientiousness category means that you have achieved a solid balance in your outlook towards responsibility. You are probably somewhat organized, with a little room for improvement. Your priorities probably reflect a mix of work and play. Thoughtfulness characterizes your thinking style, so you give gravity to important decisions without making a big deal out of minor issues. You are probably serious about achieving success, but do not feel completely driven by this motivation. All in all, you've got a very healthy perspective on work and duty.
Extraversion
|

 |
|
|
|
| less extraverted | more extraverted |
Your high score in the Extraversion category defines your social personality. You probably feel very comfortable with a large number of people, and enjoy spending your time with them. In fact, chances are that you'd prefer to be among people than by yourself. Isolation can feel like punishment. Your vigorous and active style of interaction makes you an excellent leader. Equally, you can be a very warm friend. You probably are someone who enjoys excitement and looks for thrills where you can find them. Your cheerful exuberance means that you are probably quite popular in your social circle.
Agreeableness
|
|
 |
|
|
|
| less adaptive | more adaptive |
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
|
|
 |
|
|
|
| less reactive | more reactive |
Negative Emotionality scale refers to your emotional reactivity. Your low score implies that you generally resist the influence of what's going on around you. Confronted by situations that most people would find upsetting, you'll often remain calm and rational. For example, strong feelings of embarrassment, sadness, stress or anger are emotions that may not arise too often within you. Instead, you seem to resolve these issues with a minimum of difficulty. Your personality is best characterized as cool and levelheaded.
