Extraverts enjoy being with people,<br \/>\nare full of energy, and often experience positive emotions. They tend<br \/>\nto be enthusiastic, action-oriented, individuals who are likely to say<br \/>\n&#8220;Yes!&#8221; or &#8220;Let&#8217;s go!&#8221; to opportunities for excitement. In groups they<br \/>\nlike to talk, assert themselves, and draw attention to themselves.<\/p>\n<p> Introverts lack the exuberance, energy, and<br \/>\nactivity levels of extraverts. They tend to be quiet, low-key,<br \/>\ndeliberate, and disengaged from the social world. Their lack of social<br \/>\ninvolvement should <u>not<\/u><br \/>\nbe interpreted as shyness or depression; the introvert simply needs less<br \/>\nstimulation than an extravert and prefers to be alone. The independence<br \/>\nand reserve of the introvert is sometimes mistaken as unfriendliness or<br \/>\narrogance. In reality, an introvert who scores high on the<br \/>\nagreeableness dimension will not seek others out but will be quite<br \/>\npleasant when approached.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<tt> <font size=\"1\"><br \/>\n<\/font><\/tt><\/p>\n<p><tt><font size=\"1\">Domain\/Facet...........

You<br \/>\nprefer to be around people much of the time.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h3>Extraversion Facets<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li> <i>Friendliness<\/i>. Friendly people genuinely like other people and openly<br \/>\n     demonstrate positive feelings toward others. They make friends quickly<br \/>\n     and it is easy for them to form close, intimate relationships. Low scorers<br \/>\n     on Friendliness are not necessarily cold and hostile, but they do not reach<br \/>\n     out to others and are perceived as distant and reserved. Your level of<br \/>\n     friendliness is high.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Gregariousness<\/i>. Gregarious people find the company of others<br \/>\n     pleasantly stimulating and rewarding. They enjoy the excitement of<br \/>\n     crowds. Low scorers tend to feel overwhelmed by, and therefore actively<br \/>\n     avoid, large crowds. They do not necessarily dislike being with people<br \/>\n     sometimes, but their need for privacy and time to themselves is much<br \/>\n     greater than for individuals who score high on this scale. Your level of<br \/>\n     gregariousness is high.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Assertiveness<\/i>. High scorers Assertiveness like to speak out, take<br \/>\n     charge, and direct the activities of others. They tend to be leaders in<br \/>\n     groups. Low scorers tend not to talk much and let others control the<br \/>\n     activities of groups. Your level of assertiveness is high.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Activity Level<\/i>. Active individuals lead fast-paced, busy lives. They<br \/>\n     move about quickly, energetically, and vigorously, and they are involved in<br \/>\n     many activities. People who score low on this scale follow a slower and<br \/>\n     more leisurely, relaxed pace. Your activity level is low.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Excitement-Seeking<\/i>. High scorers on this scale are easily bored<br \/>\n     without high levels of stimulation. They love bright lights and hustle and<br \/>\n     bustle. They are likely to take risks and seek thrills. Low scorers are<br \/>\n     overwhelmed by noise and commotion and are adverse to thrill-seeking.<br \/>\n     Your level of excitement-seeking is high.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Cheerfulness<\/i>. This scale measures positive mood and feelings, not<br \/>\n     negative emotions (which are a part of the Neuroticism domain). Persons who<br \/>\n     score high on this scale typically experience a range of positive feelings,<br \/>\n     including happiness, enthusiasm, optimism, and joy. Low scorers are not as<br \/>\n     prone to such energetic, high spirits. Your level of positive emotions is<br \/>\n     high.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Agreeableness<\/h2>\n<p>Agreeableness reflects individual differences in concern with cooperation and<br \/>\nsocial harmony. Agreeable individuals value getting along with others. They are<br \/>\ntherefore considerate, friendly, generous, helpful, and willing to compromise<br \/>\ntheir interests with others&#8217;. Agreeable people also have an optimistic view of<br \/>\nhuman nature. They believe people are basically honest, decent, and<br \/>\ntrustworthy.<\/p>\n<p>Disagreeable individuals place self-interest above getting along with others.<br \/>\nThey are generally unconcerned with others&#8217; well-being, and therefore are<br \/>\nunlikely to extend themselves for other people. Sometimes their skepticism about<br \/>\nothers&#8217; motives causes them to be suspicious, unfriendly, and<br \/>\nuncooperative.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Agreeableness is obviously advantageous for attaining and maintaining<br \/>\npopularity. Agreeable people are better liked than disagreeable people. On the<br \/>\nother hand, agreeableness is not useful in situations that require tough or<br \/>\nabsolute objective decisions. Disagreeable people can make excellent scientists,<br \/>\ncritics, or soldiers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<tt> <font size=\"1\"><br \/>\n<\/font><\/tt><\/p>\n<p><tt><font size=\"1\">Domain\/Facet...........

People see you as tough, critical, and uncompromising.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h3>Agreeableness Facets<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li> <i>Trust<\/i>. A person with high trust assumes that most people are<br \/>\n     fair, honest, and have good intentions. Persons low in trust see others<br \/>\n     as selfish, devious, and potentially dangerous. Your level of<br \/>\n     trust is average.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Morality<\/i>. High scorers on this scale see no need for pretense<br \/>\n     or manipulation when dealing with others and are therefore candid, frank,<br \/>\n     and sincere. Low scorers believe that a certain amount of deception in<br \/>\n     social relationships is necessary. People find it relatively easy to relate<br \/>\n     to the straightforward high-scorers on this scale. They generally find it<br \/>\n     more difficult to relate to the unstraightforward low-scorers on this<br \/>\n     scale. It should be made clear that low scorers are <u>not<\/u> unprincipled<br \/>\n     or immoral; they are simply more guarded and less willing to openly reveal<br \/>\n     the whole truth. Your level of morality is low.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Altruism<\/i>. Altruistic people find helping other people genuinely<br \/>\n     rewarding. Consequently, they are generally willing to assist those who<br \/>\n     are in need. Altruistic people find that doing things for others is a form<br \/>\n     of self-fulfillment rather than self-sacrifice. Low scorers on this scale<br \/>\n     do not particularly like helping those in need. Requests for help feel like<br \/>\n     an imposition rather than an opportunity for self-fulfillment. Your level<br \/>\n     of altruism is high.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Cooperation<\/i>. Individuals who score high on this scale dislike<br \/>\n     confrontations. They are perfectly willing to compromise or to deny their<br \/>\n     own needs in order to get along with others. Those who score low on this<br \/>\n     scale are more likely to intimidate others to get their way. Your<br \/>\n     level of compliance is low.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Modesty<\/i>. High scorers on this scale do not like to claim that they<br \/>\n     are better than other people. In some cases this attitude may derive from<br \/>\n     low self-confidence or self-esteem. Nonetheless, some people with high<br \/>\n     self-esteem find immodesty unseemly. Those who <u>are<\/u> willing to<br \/>\n     describe themselves as superior tend to be seen as disagreeably arrogant<br \/>\n     by other people. Your level of modesty is low.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Sympathy<\/i>. People who score high on this scale are tenderhearted<br \/>\n     and compassionate. They feel the pain of others vicariously and are easily<br \/>\n     moved to pity. Low scorers are not affected strongly by human suffering.<br \/>\n     They pride themselves on making objective judgments based on reason.<br \/>\n     They are more concerned with truth and impartial justice than with mercy.<br \/>\n     Your level of tender-mindedness is average.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Conscientiousness<\/h2>\n<p> Conscientiousness concerns the way in which<br \/>\nwe control, regulate, and direct our impulses. Impulses are not<br \/>\ninherently bad; occasionally time constraints require a snap decision,<br \/>\nand acting on our first impulse can be an effective response. Also, in<br \/>\ntimes of play rather than work, acting spontaneously and impulsively<br \/>\ncan be fun. Impulsive individuals can be seen by others as colorful,<br \/>\nfun-to-be-with, and zany.<\/p>\n<p>\nNonetheless, acting on impulse can lead to trouble in a number of ways.<br \/>\nSome impulses are antisocial. Uncontrolled antisocial acts not only<br \/>\nharm other members of society, but also can result in retribution<br \/>\ntoward the perpetrator of such impulsive acts. Another problem with<br \/>\nimpulsive acts is that they often produce immediate rewards but<br \/>\nundesirable, long-term consequences. Examples include excessive<br \/>\nsocializing that leads to being fired from one&#8217;s job, hurling an insult<br \/>\nthat causes the breakup of an important relationship, or using<br \/>\npleasure-inducing drugs that eventually destroy one&#8217;s health.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nImpulsive behavior, even when not seriously destructive, diminishes a<br \/>\nperson&#8217;s effectiveness in significant ways. Acting impulsively<br \/>\ndisallows contemplating alternative courses of action, some of which<br \/>\nwould have been wiser than the impulsive choice. Impulsivity also<br \/>\nsidetracks people during projects that require organized sequences of<br \/>\nsteps or stages. Accomplishments of an impulsive person are therefore<br \/>\nsmall, scattered, and inconsistent.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nA hallmark of intelligence, what potentially separates human beings from<br \/>\nearlier life forms, is the ability to think about future consequences<br \/>\nbefore acting on an impulse. Intelligent activity involves<br \/>\ncontemplation of long-range goals, organizing and planning routes to<br \/>\nthese goals, and persisting toward one&#8217;s goals in the face of<br \/>\nshort-lived impulses to the contrary. The idea that intelligence<br \/>\ninvolves impulse control is nicely captured by the term prudence, an<br \/>\nalternative label for the Conscientiousness domain. Prudent means both<br \/>\nwise and cautious. Persons who score high on the Conscientiousness<br \/>\nscale are, in fact, perceived by others as intelligent.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe benefits of high conscientiousness are obvious. Conscientious<br \/>\nindividuals avoid trouble and achieve high levels of success through<br \/>\npurposeful planning and persistence. They are also positively regarded<br \/>\nby others as intelligent and reliable. On the negative side, they can<br \/>\nbe compulsive perfectionists and workaholics. Furthermore, extremely<br \/>\nconscientious individuals might be regarded as stuffy and boring.<br \/>\nUnconscientious people may be criticized for their unreliability, lack<br \/>\nof ambition, and failure to stay within the lines, but they will<br \/>\nexperience many short-lived pleasures and they will never be called<br \/>\nstuffy.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<tt> <font size=\"1\"><br \/>\n<\/font><\/tt><\/p>\n<p><tt><font size=\"1\">Domain\/Facet...........

This means you are reasonably reliable, organized, and self-controlled. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h3>Conscientiousness Facets<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li> <i>Self-Efficacy<\/i>. Self-Efficacy describes confidence in one&#8217;s ability<br \/>\n     to accomplish things. High scorers believe they have the intelligence<br \/>\n     (common sense), drive, and self-control necessary for achieving success.<br \/>\n     Low scorers do not feel effective, and may have a sense that they are not<br \/>\n     in control of their lives. Your level of self-efficacy is high.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Orderliness<\/i>. Persons with high scores on orderliness are<br \/>\n     well-organized. They like to live according to routines and schedules. They<br \/>\n     keep lists and make plans. Low scorers tend to be disorganized and<br \/>\n     scattered. Your level of orderliness is low.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Dutifulness<\/i>. This scale reflects the strength of a person&#8217;s sense<br \/>\n     of duty and obligation. Those who score high on this scale have a strong<br \/>\n     sense of moral obligation. Low scorers find contracts, rules, and<br \/>\n     regulations overly confining. They are likely to be seen as unreliable or<br \/>\n     even irresponsible. Your level of dutifulness is average.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Achievement-Striving<\/i>. Individuals who score high on this<br \/>\n     scale strive hard to achieve excellence. Their drive to be recognized as<br \/>\n     successful keeps them on track toward their lofty goals. They often have<br \/>\n     a strong sense of direction in life, but extremely high scores may<br \/>\n     be too single-minded and obsessed with their work. Low scorers are content<br \/>\n     to get by with a minimal amount of work, and might be seen by others<br \/>\n     as lazy. Your level of achievement striving is average.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Self-Discipline<\/i>. Self-discipline-what many people call<br \/>\n     will-power-refers to the ability to persist at difficult or unpleasant<br \/>\n     tasks until they are completed. People who possess high self-discipline<br \/>\n     are able to overcome reluctance to begin tasks and stay on track despite<br \/>\n     distractions. Those with low self-discipline procrastinate and show poor<br \/>\n     follow-through, often failing to complete tasks-even tasks they want very<br \/>\n     much to complete. Your level of self-discipline is average.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Cautiousness<\/i>. Cautiousness describes the disposition to<br \/>\n     think through possibilities before acting. High scorers on the Cautiousness<br \/>\n     scale take their time when making decisions. Low scorers often say or do<br \/>\n     first thing that comes to mind without deliberating alternatives and the<br \/>\n     probable consequences of those alternatives. Your level<br \/>\n     of cautiousness is low.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Neuroticism<\/h2>\n<p>Freud originally used the term <i>neurosis<\/i><br \/>\nto describe a condition marked by mental distress, emotional suffering,<br \/>\nand an inability to cope effectively with the normal demands of life.<br \/>\nHe suggested that everyone shows some signs of neurosis, but that we<br \/>\ndiffer in our degree of suffering and our specific symptoms of<br \/>\ndistress. Today neuroticism refers to the tendency to experience<br \/>\nnegative feelings. Those who score high on Neuroticism may experience<br \/>\nprimarily one specific negative feeling such as anxiety, anger, or<br \/>\ndepression, but are likely to experience several of these emotions.<br \/>\nPeople high in neuroticism are emotionally reactive. They respond<br \/>\nemotionally to events that would not affect most people, and their<br \/>\nreactions tend to be more intense than normal. They are more likely to<br \/>\ninterpret ordinary situations as threatening, and minor frustrations as<br \/>\nhopelessly difficult. Their negative emotional reactions tend to<br \/>\npersist for unusually long periods of time, which means they are often<br \/>\nin a bad mood. These problems in emotional regulation can diminish a<br \/>\nneurotic&#8217;s ability to think clearly, make decisions, and cope<br \/>\neffectively with stress.<\/p>\n<p> At the other end of the scale,<br \/>\nindividuals who score low in neuroticism are less easily upset and are<br \/>\nless emotionally reactive. They tend to be calm, emotionally stable,<br \/>\nand free from persistent negative feelings. Freedom from negative<br \/>\nfeelings does not mean that low scorers experience a lot of positive<br \/>\nfeelings; frequency of positive emotions is a component of the<br \/>\nExtraversion domain.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<tt> <font size=\"1\"><br \/>\n<\/font><\/tt><\/p>\n<p><tt><font size=\"1\">Domain\/Facet...........

People consider you to be sensitive and emotional.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h3>Neuroticism Facets<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li> <i>Anxiety<\/i>. The &#8220;fight-or-flight&#8221; system of the brain of anxious<br \/>\n     individuals is too easily and too often engaged. Therefore, people who<br \/>\n     are high in anxiety often feel like something dangerous is about to happen.<br \/>\n     They may be afraid of specific situations or be just generally fearful.<br \/>\n     They feel tense, jittery, and nervous. Persons low in Anxiety are generally<br \/>\n     calm and fearless. Your level of anxiety is high.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Anger<\/i>. Persons who score high in Anger feel enraged when<br \/>\n     things do not go their way. They are sensitive about being treated fairly<br \/>\n     and feel resentful and bitter when they feel they are being cheated.<br \/>\n     This scale measures the tendency to <i>feel<\/i> angry; whether or not the<br \/>\n     person <i>expresses<\/i> annoyance and hostility depends on the individual&#8217;s<br \/>\n     level on Agreeableness. Low scorers do not get angry often or easily.<br \/>\n     Your level of anger is high.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Depression<\/i>. This scale measures the tendency to feel sad, dejected,<br \/>\n     and discouraged. High scorers lack energy and have difficult initiating<br \/>\n     activities. Low scorers tend to be free from these depressive feelings.<br \/>\n     Your level of depression is high.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Self-Consciousness<\/i>. Self-conscious individuals are sensitive<br \/>\n     about what others think of them. Their concern about rejection and<br \/>\n     ridicule cause them to feel shy and uncomfortable abound others. They<br \/>\n     are easily embarrassed and often feel ashamed. Their fears that others<br \/>\n     will criticize or make fun of them are exaggerated and unrealistic, but<br \/>\n     their awkwardness and discomfort may make these fears a self-fulfilling<br \/>\n     prophecy. Low scorers, in contrast, do not suffer from the mistaken<br \/>\n     impression that everyone is watching and judging them. They do not feel<br \/>\n     nervous in social situations. Your level or self-consciousness is<br \/>\n     low.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Immoderation<\/i>. Immoderate individuals feel strong cravings and<br \/>\n     urges that they have have difficulty resisting. They tend to be<br \/>\n     oriented toward short-term pleasures and rewards rather than long-<br \/>\n     term consequences. Low scorers do not experience strong, irresistible<br \/>\n     cravings and consequently do not find themselves tempted to overindulge.<br \/>\n     Your level of immoderation is average.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Vulnerability<\/i>. High scorers on Vulnerability experience panic,<br \/>\n     confusion, and helplessness when under pressure or stress. Low scorers<br \/>\n     feel more poised, confident, and clear-thinking when stressed.<br \/>\n     Your level of vulnerability is average.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Openness to Experience<\/h2>\n<p>Openness to Experience describes a dimension of cognitive style that<br \/>\ndistinguishes imaginative, creative people from down-to-earth, conventional<br \/>\npeople. Open people are intellectually curious, appreciative of art, and<br \/>\nsensitive to beauty. They tend to be, compared to closed people, more aware of<br \/>\ntheir feelings. They tend to think and act in individualistic and nonconforming<br \/>\nways. Intellectuals typically score high on Openness to Experience;<br \/>\nconsequently, this factor has also been called <i>Culture<\/i> or<br \/>\n<i>Intellect<\/i>. Nonetheless, Intellect is probably best regarded as one aspect of openness<br \/>\nto experience. Scores on Openness to Experience are only modestly<br \/>\nrelated to years of education and scores on standard intelligent tests.<\/p>\n<p>Another characteristic of the open cognitive style is a facility for thinking<br \/>\nin symbols and abstractions far removed from concrete experience. Depending on<br \/>\nthe individual&#8217;s specific intellectual abilities, this symbolic cognition may<br \/>\ntake the form of mathematical, logical, or geometric thinking, artistic and<br \/>\nmetaphorical use of language, music composition or performance, or one of the<br \/>\nmany visual or performing arts.<\/p>\n<p>People with low scores on openness to experience tend to have narrow, common<br \/>\ninterests. They prefer the plain, straightforward, and obvious over the<br \/>\ncomplex, ambiguous, and subtle. They may regard the arts and sciences with<br \/>\nsuspicion, regarding these endeavors as abstruse or of no practical use.<br \/>\nClosed people prefer familiarity over novelty; they are conservative and<br \/>\nresistant to change.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Openness is often presented as healthier or more mature by psychologists, who<br \/>\nare often themselves open to experience. However, open and closed styles of<br \/>\nthinking are useful in different environments. The intellectual style of the<br \/>\nopen person may serve a professor well, but research has shown that closed<br \/>\nthinking is related to superior job performance in police work, sales, and<br \/>\na number of service occupations.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<tt> <font size=\"1\"><br \/>\n<\/font><\/tt><\/p>\n<p><tt><font size=\"1\">Domain\/Facet...........

You are curious, imaginative, and creative.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h3>Openness Facets<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li> <i>Imagination<\/i>. To imaginative individuals, the real world is<br \/>\n     often too plain and ordinary. High scorers on this scale use fantasy as a<br \/>\n     way of creating a richer, more interesting world. Low scorers are on this<br \/>\n     scale are more oriented to facts than fantasy. Your level of imagination<br \/>\n     is average.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Artistic Interests<\/i>. High scorers on this scale love beauty, both in<br \/>\n     art and in nature. They become easily involved and absorbed in artistic<br \/>\n     and natural events. They are not necessarily artistically trained nor<br \/>\n     talented, although many will be. The defining features of this scale are<br \/>\n     <i>interest in<\/i>, and <i>appreciation of<\/i> natural and<br \/>\n     artificial beauty. Low scorers lack aesthetic sensitivity and interest in<br \/>\n     the arts. Your level of artistic interests is high.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Emotionality<\/i>. Persons high on Emotionality have good access<br \/>\n     to and awareness of their own feelings. Low scorers are less aware of<br \/>\n     their feelings and tend not to express their emotions openly. Your<br \/>\n     level of emotionality is high.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Adventurousness<\/i>. High scorers on adventurousness are eager to<br \/>\n     try new activities, travel to foreign lands, and experience different<br \/>\n     things. They find familiarity and routine boring, and will take a new<br \/>\n     route home just because it is different. Low scorers tend to feel<br \/>\n     uncomfortable with change and prefer familiar routines. Your level of<br \/>\n     adventurousness is high.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Intellect<\/i>. Intellect and artistic interests are the two most<br \/>\n     important, central aspects of openness to experience. High scorers on<br \/>\n     Intellect love to play with ideas. They are open-minded to new and unusual<br \/>\n     ideas, and like to debate intellectual issues. They enjoy riddles, puzzles,<br \/>\n     and brain teasers. Low scorers on Intellect prefer dealing with either<br \/>\n     people or things rather than ideas. They regard intellectual exercises as a<br \/>\n     waste of time. Intellect should <u>not<\/u> be equated with intelligence.<br \/>\n     Intellect is an intellectual style, not an intellectual ability, although<br \/>\n     high scorers on Intellect score <u>slightly<\/u> higher than low-Intellect<br \/>\n     individuals on standardized intelligence tests. Your level of intellect<br \/>\n     is high.<\/li>\n<li> <i>Liberalism<\/i>. Psychological liberalism refers to a readiness to<br \/>\n     challenge authority, convention, and traditional values. In its most<br \/>\n     extreme form, psychological liberalism can even represent outright<br \/>\n     hostility toward rules, sympathy for law-breakers, and love of ambiguity,<br \/>\n     chaos, and disorder. Psychological conservatives prefer the security and<br \/>\n     stability brought by conformity to tradition. Psychological liberalism<br \/>\n     and conservatism are not identical to political affiliation, but certainly<br \/>\n     incline individuals toward certain political parties. Your level of<br \/>\n     liberalism is high.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>hurtsogood posted this 5-factor personality psych test a few days ago and I had been meaning to take it ever since then.
