The Big 5 Personality Questionnaire

Big Five Personality Questionnaire (Results)

OPENNESS - This refers to the extent to which you prefer novelty versus convention. You seem to describe yourself as someone who is far more intellectually curious and sensitive to beauty than most. You might say that your beliefs are individualistic and frequently drift towards the unconventional, and that you enjoy your imagination and the exciting places it takes you!

CONSCIENTIOUSNESS - This refers to the extent to which you prefer an organize, or a flexible, approach in life. You seem to describe yourself as someone who is spontaneous and fun, and that you like to do unexpected things that make life that bit more interesting. You might say that you aren't completely unreliable, but you've been known to slip up on occasion.

EXTRAVERSION - This refers to the extent to which you enjoy company, and seek excitement and stimulation. You seem to describe yourself as someone who is energetic and active. Your answers describe you as someone who enjoys and actively seeks out social occasions, and that you especially enjoy talking with a big group of people.

AGREEABLENESS - This refers to the way you express your opinions and manage relationships. You seem to describe yourself as someone who is willing to make difficult decisions when necessary, and will point out when something is wrong no matter what other people might feel. Your responses suggest that you would say that you can be tough and uncompromising.

NEUROTICISM (Emotional stability) - This refers to the way you cope with, and respond to, life's demands. You seem to describe yourself as someone who tends to be more self-conscious than many. Based on your responses, you come across as someone who can find it hard to not get caught up by anxious or stressful situations. You might say that you are in touch with your own feelings.

The Big Five personality traits are significantly related to JUNGIAN TYPOLOGY (a popular alternative personality framework regularly used for personal development). Your estimated Type is: INTP.

INTP (Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving) s are quiet, thoughtful, analytical individuals who don't mind spending long periods of time on their own, working through problems and forming solutions. INTPs tend to be less at ease in social situations and the 'caring professions,' although they enjoy the company of those who share their interests. They also tend to be impatient with the bureaucracy, rigid hierarchies, and politics prevalent in many professions, preferring to work informally with others as equals. INTPs' extraverted intuition often gives them a quick wit, especially with language, and they can defuse the tension in gatherings by comical observations and references. They can be charming, even in their quiet reserve, and are sometimes surprised by the high esteem in which their friends and colleagues hold them.
