O: 88
C: 68
E: 70 <-- I don't care, I'm still an introvert. :yes:
A: 38
N: 5

Edit: Okay, there's no way I'm really that Open either - my J is colossal and I'm not much of an aesthete. I must attribute my high score on that dimension to knowing what is being tested. :doh:

Notice it is percentile scores, and that the group who take this test online is probably hardly representative. My guess is that it especially affects the openness scores. Compared to the general population, test testers will be in a considerably higher percentile than when compared to the other online test takers …

I don't like Big Five very much. the traits are completely based on external behaviors. for instance "Do you talk a lot?" but there are plenty of Introverts who talk a lot and plenty of Extraverts who don't talk a lot

Openness to Experience/Intellect
You enjoy having novel experiences and seeing things in new ways. (Your percentile: 90)

Conscientiousness
You are very well-organized, and can be relied upon. (Your percentile: 92)

Extraversion
You tend to shy away from social situations. (Your percentile: 37)

Agreeableness
You tend to consider the feelings of others. (Your percentile: 63)

Neuroticism
You probably remain calm, even in tense situations. (Your percentile: 18)



Extroversion/introversion is much different than usual, but the rest is on par for me.

That's why it's so useful though. Because you can pretty easily read people based on these external traits and know a good bit about them if you follow the big 5.

Openness to Experience/Intellect

High scorers tend to be original, creative, curious, complex; Low scorers tend to be conventional, down to earth, narrow interests, uncreative.
You typically don't seek out new experiences. (Your percentile: 59)

This is lower score than usual. I guess its all because I don't see myself as particularly sophisticated in art, music, or literature. Blah. My interests are more intellectual.


Conscientiousness

High scorers tend to be reliable, well-organized, self-disciplined, careful; Low scorers tend to be disorganized, undependable, negligent.
You are neither organized or disorganized. (Your percentile: 58)

I usually get high-average on this dimension. They make the low scoring description sound bad.


Extraversion

High scorers tend to be sociable, friendly, fun loving, talkative; Low scorers tend to be introverted, reserved, inhibited, quiet.
You probably enjoy spending quiet time alone. (Your percentile: 7)

I'm low on extraversion typically, but *this* low?

Agreeableness

High scorers tend to be good natured, sympathetic, forgiving, courteous; Low scorers tend to be critical, rude, harsh, callous.
You find it easy to express irritation with others. (Your percentile: 27)

I'm agreeable, dammit!

Neuroticism

High scorers tend to be nervous, high-strung, insecure, worrying; Low scorers tend to be calm, relaxed, secure, hardy.
You are generally relaxed. (Your percentile: 37)

At least they nailed this one. I'm fairly low on neuroticism but not to an extreme. I can get worked up if you push the right button.

I got open, conscientous, introverted, not agreeable, and neurotic. A lot of it depends on your maturity, and I guess my scores describe a typical young INFJ well.

The alleged T/F correlation with agreeableness is obviously rubbish. :laugh:

Perhaps they should look at Fi/Te orientation vs. Fe/Ti orientation. The split may lie there.

Te isn't known to be a very "agreeable" function, more like the "get the hell outta my way" function; nor is Fi, actually...it's frequently judged by Fe types as being capricious or selfish.

In the stats I've seen comparing the two, the highest correlations (up around +-.80) were for Extroversion = I/E and Openness = S/N.

The J/P and T/F correlations were less, even if significant - with coefficients of +- .48 or so.
