Factor | Score |
---|---|
Extraversion | 22 |
Agreeableness | 31 |
Conscientiousness | 26 |
Emotional Stability | 13 |
Intellect/Imagination | 45 |
You score high on intellect/imagination.
Openness to experience: (inventive/curious vs. consistent/cautious). Appreciation for art, emotion, adventure, unusual ideas, curiosity, and variety of experience. Openness reflects the degree of intellectual curiosity, creativity and a preference for novelty and variety a person has. It is also described as the extent to which a person is imaginative or independent, and depicts a personal preference for a variety of activities over a strict routine. High openness can be perceived as unpredictability or lack of focus. Moreover, individuals with high openness are said to pursue self-actualization specifically by seeking out intense, euphoric experiences, such as skydiving, living abroad, gambling, et cetera.
You score low on emotional stability.
Emotional stability: (secure/confident vs. sensitive/nervous). The opposite pole of neuroticism, low impulse control and the tendency to experience unpleasant emotions easily, such as anger, anxiety, depression, and vulnerability. A low need for stability causes a reactive and excitable personality, often very dynamic individuals, but they can be perceived as unstable or insecure.
You score moderately low on extraversion.
Extraversion: (outgoing/energetic vs. solitary/reserved). Energy, positive emotions, surgency, assertiveness, sociability and the tendency to seek stimulation in the company of others, and talkativeness. Low extraversion causes a reserved, reflective personality, which can be perceived as aloof or self-absorbed.
You score moderately low on conscientiousness.
Conscientiousness: (efficient/organized vs. easy-going/careless). A tendency to be organized and dependable, show self-discipline, act dutifully, aim for achievement, and prefer planned rather than spontaneous behavior. Low conscientiousness are flexible and spontaneous, but can be perceived as sloppy and unreliable.
My Thoughts on the Results
Well, first of all… I love all of the questions about my thoughts on “abstract thoughts” when this quiz in itself is pretty much an abstract thought! Ha ha! How can one rate oneself objectively??
I mean, “Have Excellent Ideas” …and I’m supposed to rate how I am with this?? Well, Excellent ideas according to WHO?? Or “Don’t Like to Call Attention to yourself” ….well, I may not LIKE to call attention to myself… but, it may somehow seem to happen all the same… does that still count?? Or “Like Order” well, at work I am a VERY meticulous person and I love things to be clean and organised…..at home?? Well, that’s another story…
Also, my intellect is high?? REALLY?? Nicole…. is that a PICTURE of your results because you couldn’t figure out how to save the image of the results??WHY, YES IT IS!! I will NOT argue against me being emotionally unstable, though! Ha ha!
I almost think that I should get someone who knows me to take the quiz FOR me to see what the result would be…… hmmmm… THERE’S AN IDEA!!!
Results: Take 2!
So, I really liked my idea of having someone else take the test for me, and decided to get my man to take it for me and see how our results differed!! We’ve been together for 10 years… so,he SHOULD be a pretty fair judge!
How did we fair??

You score moderately high on agreeableness.
Agreeableness: (friendly/compassionate vs. analytical/detached). A tendency to be compassionate and cooperative rather than suspicious and antagonistic towards others. It is also a measure of one’s trusting and helpful nature, and whether a person is generally well-tempered or not. High agreeableness is often seen as naive or submissive.
You score moderately low on extraversion.
Extraversion: (outgoing/energetic vs. solitary/reserved).

My Thoughts on Take 2
First of all…. Nicole, NO PHOTO??? Nope! With my man on scene, I finally figured out how to actually take a screenshot of the results…. HA HA!!
As for the results… they were fairly similar!! (apparently my man thinks I’m WAY MORE Emotionally stable! …I’LL TAKE IT!!) He felt the same way as me about the questions, continually asking “what do you think they mean by this??” Obviously I told him to figure it out himself. Ha ha! I didn’t want to skew the results!! But, it is hard to judge things like “Always makes a mess of things” …..in the house? In my life?? I mean…. that could mean anything!!
All in all, I think it worked out pretty good. Do I agree with the results?? Maybe not entirely…. but, since both attempts reflected similar results…. who am I to argue??
I don’t know about this particular version of the test, but this method of looking at personality is actually surprisingly good at predicting a ton of stuff… like job performance!

Some studies have linked low emotional stability with success at university… and it makes evolutionary sense that some of us should react more strongly to stressors than others. So don’t feel bad! It’s interesting, anyway!

This really was a fun idea to let the test be taken by your man as well, and if the results are pretty much similar, well…then there certainly must be some truth to it right? 😊😊True enough though, it is difficult to really judge some aspects of the test, but on the other hand that’s also the fun part I think 😊 Great post! 😀

Lovely test… Took test High on rest and low on emotional stability and extra version – I was about to tell the test that this score is because I am surrounded by irritating duplicitous colleagues so my mood changes to anger so frequently. And so nowadays I am quiet because I don’t want to argue with dumbness any more. Hence I am higher on conscientiousness, intellect. How long can I expect dumb to do fast work.. Hence I pick up slack… 😂😂😂😂💃💃💃💃 So proud of my scores. I work too hard. So taking a break now

Many of the questions were subjective at best and their answers can vary depending on one’s mood when taking the test. How I scored:
Intellect 44
Emotional Stability 39
Agreeableness 30
Conscientiousness 28
Extroversion 19
I am sure that if I retook the test with the stipulation that there could not be any neither responses, the weights would change, but in the end I am not an extrovert and would never be found at a party or chatting with a room full of strangers.

And I scored 0.4% higher than you on extraversion, which I’m highly skeptical of. XD
