According to the above theoretical characterization framework,
Trait Explanations
OpennessThis trait refers to the extent to which you prefer novelty versus convention. Approximately 21% of respondents have a lower openness raw percentage than yours.
From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who
dislikes needless complexity, and prefers the familiar over the unusual. You might say that
you are more conservative than many, but not to an extreme level, and that you value
practical outcomes over flighty imagination.
ConscientiousnessThis trait refers to the extent to which you prefer an organised, or a flexible, approach in life. Approximately 42% of respondents have a lower conscientiousness raw percentage than yours.
From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who
is random and fun to be around but that you can plan and persist when life requires it.
From your responses it appears that depending on the situation, you can make quick
decisions or deliberate for longer if necessary.
ExtraversionThis trait refers to the extent to which you enjoy company, and seek excitement and stimulation. Approximately 24.2% of respondents have a lower extraversion raw percentage than yours.
From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who
prefers low-key social occasions, with a few close friends. You might say that it's not that
you are afraid of large parties; they're just not that fun for you.
AgreeablenessThis trait refers to the way you express your opinions and manage relationships. Approximately 50% of respondents have a lower agreeableness raw percentage than yours.
From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone
who gets along with people well, especially once they have proved themselves trustworthy
to you. Your responses suggest that you do have a healthy scepticism about others' motives,
but that doesn't stop you from considering others to be basically honest and decent.
Neuroticism (Emotional stability)This trait refers to the way you cope with, and respond to, life's demands. Approximately 34.5% of respondents have a lower neuroticism raw percentage than yours.
From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who
is calm and emotionally stable. Based on your responses, you come across as someone
who is rarely bothered by things, and when they do get you down the feeling does not persist
for very long.
