Patrick Bailey Big Five Personality Results 1 Your Personality Trait Scores This Big Five assessment measures your scores on five major dimensions of personality: Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism (sometimes abbreviated OCEAN). Check out your scores on each of the five dimensions in the graphs below, then read on to discover what each score means. Openness Openness describes a person’s tendency to think in abstract, complex ways. High scorers tend to be creative, adventurous, and intellectual. They enjoy playing with ideas and discovering novel experiences. Low scorers tend to be practical, conventional, and focused on the concrete. They tend to avoid the unknown and follow traditional ways. Openness is strongly related to a person’s interest in art and culture. People who are high in openness tend to enjoy the arts and seek out unusual, complex forms of self -expression. People who are low in openness are often suspicious of the arts and prefer to focus on more practical pursuits. 94%0102030405060708090100O Your score for openness was high, at 94%. Because you are high in Openness, you probably consider yourself to be a creative, imaginative person. You are interested in intellectual development and artistic expression. You are adventurous and unconventional. High Openness scorers are more likely to be politically liberal and to participate in artistic and cultural activities in their leisure time. They tend to be drawn to artistic and scientific careers. High Openness scorers are also more likely to have a high IQ. Conscientiousness Conscientiousness describes a person’s ability to exercise self -discipline and control in order to pursue their goals. High scorers are organized and determined, and are able to forego immediate gratification for the sake of long-term achievement. Low scorers are impulsive and easily sidetracked. The concept of Conscientiousness focuses on a dilemma we all face: shall I do what feels good now, or instead do what is less fun but will pay off in the future? Some people are more likely to choose fun in the moment, and thus are low in Conscientiousness. Others are more likely to work doggedly toward their goals, and thus are high in this trait. 90%0102030405060708090100C Your score for Conscientiousness was high, at 90%. Because you are high in Conscientiousness, you are probably orderly and organized. You probably consider yourself very reliable and responsible. You do not mind hard work and are persistent in pursuing your goals. Patrick Bailey Big Five Personality Results 2 People high in Conscientiousness are more likely to be successfu l in their careers and less likely to develop addictions of all kinds. They have high levels of self -control and are good at resisting impulses. They usually have neat, organized homes and orderly, well -planned lives. Extraversion Extraversion describes a person’s inclination to seek stimulation from the outside world, especially in the form of attention from other people. Extraverts engage actively with others to earn friendship, admiration, power, status, excitement, and romance. Introverts, on the other hand, conserve their energy, and do not work as hard to earn these social rewards. Extraversion seems to be related to the emotional payoff that a person gets from achieving a goal. While everyone experiences victories in life, it seems that extroverts are especially thrilled by these victories, especially when they earn the attention of others. Getting a promotion, finding a new romance, or winning an award are all likely to bring an extrovert great joy. In contrast, introverts do not experience as much of a “high” from social achievements. Thus, they don’t make as much effort to seek them out. Introverts tend to be more content with simple, quiet lives, and rarely seek attention from others. 81%0102030405060708090100E Your score for Extraversion was high, at 81%. Because you are high in Extraversion, you probably appear to be friendly and gregarious to other people. You show enthusiasm easily and are generally energetic. You are interested in having adventures and achieving many things in your life. People who are high in extraversion are more likely to have many friends and an active social life. They tend to work hard to achieve power and prestige and get a special thrill from going after rewards such as money, status, or attention from others. Agreeableness Agreeableness describes a person’s tendency to put others’ needs ahead of their own, and to cooperate rather than compete with others. People who are high in Agreeableness experience a great deal of empathy and tend to get pleasure out of serving and taking care of others. They are usually trusting and forgiving. People who are low in Agreeableness tend to experience less empathy and put their own concerns ahead of others. Low scorers are often described as hostile, competitive, and antagonistic. They tend to have more conflictual relationships and often fall out with people. 83%0102030405060708090100A Your score for Agreeableness was high, at 83%. Because you are high in agreeableness, you probably think of yourself as a kind, compassionate person. You sympathize easily with others and want to get along with people. Agreeableness is a good predictor of the quality of relationships: people high in the trait are more likely to keep friends and less likely to have disputes with people. They are more likely to think of other people kindly and to be forgiving of faults or slights. Patrick Bailey Big Five Personality Results 3 Neuroticism Neuroticism describes a person’s tendency to experience negative emotions, including fear, sadness, anxiety, guilt, and shame. While everyone experiences these emotions from time to time, some people are more prone to them than others. This trait can be thought of as an alarm system. People experience negative emotions as a sign that something is wrong in the world. You may be in danger, so you feel fear. Or you may have done something morally wrong, so you feel guilty. However, not everyone has the same reaction to a given situation. High Neuroticism scorers are more likely to react to a situation with fear, anger, sadness, and the like. Low Neuroticism scorers are more l ikely to brush off their misfortune and move on. 8%0102030405060708090100N Your score for neuroticism was low, at 8%. Because you are low in Neuroticism, you are less likely than other people to experience negative emotions like fear or sadness. You are pr obably optimistic, carefree, and self-confident. You rarely worry about how things will turn out. Low Neuroticism scorers are less likely to get divorced or to suffer mental illness. They tend to handle stress well and take unfortunate events in stride. Ma jor stressors like losing a job or getting a divorce are less likely to cause depression or anxiety in people who have low levels of Neuroticism. In general, low Neuroticism scorers report solid self -esteem and a positive outlook on life. Your Personality Patterns Your personality traits interact to create unique patterns of thought and behavior. In this section, you'll learn how your traits work together to drive the way you interact with the world. To describe your personality patterns, we use a circular graph called a circumplex. The circumplex is used by psychologists to illustrate how two traits intersect to create more complex patterns of thought and behavior. Each circumplex has four sections, with each section describing a typical pattern. The area of each section shows how well that pattern describes you. A larger area indicates a better fit for that pattern. Some circumplex graphs will show a clear preference for one pattern. Others will show a more even spread over two or even three patterns. Where you have nearly equal scores for two or more patterns, you can expect that both patterns may describe you equally well. Core Pattern This circumplex describes the essential role you take on in approaching the world. This role is a reflection of your core values and motivations, as well as the way you think about things.
