Openness
4.6/5
You scored 4.6 out of 5 for Openness
You scored high on Openness.
This trait is sometimes known as ‘Openness to experience’. People with scores like yours tend to be imaginative and curious about a wide range of things, from appreciating different art forms to exploring new places, cultures and foods.
Generating lots of imaginative ideas probably comes very easily to you. However, it's likely that you are prone to daydreaming too.
Innovators, investigators and creators often score highly on this trait. It has also been suggested that Openness is related to a person's likelihood to hold unusual beliefs. Do you enjoy the odd conspiracy theory?
Conscientiousness
2.7/5
You scored 2.7 out of 5 for Conscientiousness
You scored low on Conscientiousness.
Conscientiousness describes how dependable, organised and hard-working a person is likely to be. This may be the reason why, of all the personality traits, Conscientiousness is the most consistent indicator of job success. People with scores like yours can appear disorganised, but tend to be spontaneous and have a good sense of fun.
People with low Conscientiousness may be well-suited to investigative or artistic careers.
Some studies have shown the more Conscientious an individual is, the more disciplined they are likely to be about exercise and diet.
Extroversion
2.4/5
You scored 2.4 out of 5 for Extroversion
You scored low on Extroversion.
Extroversion is characterised by positive emotions and the tendency to seek out pleasure-stimulating or risk-taking activities. People with scores like your are likely to enjoy their time away from lots of people. Social activities may well leave you feeling drained rather than energised, and your quiet time is probably where you recharge your batteries.
It may be a stereotype, but there is evidence that those scoring low in Extroversion are likely to be more suited to intellectual or studious pursuits.
People with high Extroversion are more likely to lead risky lifestyles and take greater risks in pursuit of rewards. Health studies have shown they are more likely to smoke and less likely to get enough sleep than people who score less highly on this trait.
Agreeableness
3.6/5
You scored 3.6 out of 5 for Agreeableness
You scored medium on Agreeableness.
Agreeableness measures how sympathetic and considerate a person is likely to be. People with scores like yours are likely to show concern for the feelings of others and will be inclined to help those in need.
You probably find it easy to get along with most people, but you won't be averse to speaking your mind.
Neuroticism
3.1/5
You scored 3.1 out of 5 for Neuroticism
You scored high on Neuroticism.
In the context of the Big Five personality traits, the term 'Neuroticism' relates to a person’s response to threatening or stressful situations. People with scores like yours may find that they often feel tense or anxious, and may well experience changeable moods.
Some scientists have suggested that Neuroticism was beneficial in evolutionary terms. Early man may have found it advantageous to live in a population where certain individuals had a high sensitivity to threats to the group's survival.
There is evidence to suggest that Neuroticism, when combined with high scores in personality traits such as Conscientiousness, can result in a powerful work ethic and a will to succeed.
