My test results:Big Five Personality Traits SELF-ASSESSMENT
Openness: curious, original, intellectual, creative
You scored moderately high on openness (39 out of 50).
You’re probably fairly creative and imaginative, but you also recognize the importance of routines and structure. You experience a good balance of abstract and realistic thoughts. When faced with a problem, you can think outside the box for new ideas but will also consider tried-and-true methods.
Conscientiousness: organized, achievement-oriented, dependable
You scored moderately high on conscientiousness (39 out of 50).
You are likely described as responsible and reliable. You value routines and structure because you recognize that they help keep things on track. However, you’re also willing to cut others some slack; although you have high standards, you don’t expect absolute perfection at all times. You give yourself time to relax and have fun—occasionally.
Extraversion: outgoing, talkative, sociable
You scored high on extraversion (41 out of 50).
You are probably often described as enthusiastic, passionate, and social. You likely have more positive emotions than negative ones and seek out fun and excitement. In social situations, you’re often the one starting conversations, and you’re more likely to speak up and be assertive or feel more comfortable giving presentations.
Agreeableness: affable, tolerant, sensitive, trusting, kind
You scored moderately high on agreeableness (38 out of 50).
You’re probably described as kind and helpful. You prefer to avoid conflict and will often dodge situations or conversations that may upset other people. However, if confronted directly, you can speak up or stand your ground, though you may try to smooth things over afterward.
