So I took a ‘Big 5’ Personality assessment, and the results were predictably dire. Of particular interest were my scores on Neuroticism, Extraversion, and Conscientiousness. Kinda seems like I’m predisposed to be a complete basket case at this point. Wondering if anyone else has ever done one of these kind of tests? They appear to be the most creditable in terms of psychological backing, but the idea seems to be that mostly those traits remain relatively constant no matter what you do. Which would leave me kind of fucked…
Some selected highlights:
Neuroticism = 99% (Anxiety 99%, Depression 99%, Self-consciousness 97%, Vulnerability 99%, Anger 90%, Craving 94%)
Extraversion = 1% (Friendliness 1%, Sociability 1%, Cheerfulness 6% , Assertiveness 7%)
Conscientiousness = 5% (Self-discipline 8%, Dutifulness 1%, Motivation 1%, Cautiousness 76%)
Agreeableness = 38% (Trust 7%, Altruism 3%, Morality 22%, Sympathy 69%, Cooperation 66%, Modesty 94%)
Openness = 56% (Emotionality 82%, Imagination 75%, Intellect 61%, Liberalism 79%, Adventurousness 3%)
