THE BIG FIVE PERSONALITY TEST
This short questionnaire measures the five personality factors that psychologists found to represent the basis of our personality makeup and describes personality differences. It is used as a tool in psychological research.
The 5 main factors of personality are:
- Extroversion – How engaged is a person in the outside world? Individuals who score high are outgoing and social. Individuals who score low tend to be shut-ins.
- Emotional Stability – Neuroticism and Negative Emotionality can be thought of as the opposite of Emotional Stability
- Agreeableness – Friendly and optimistic, or critical and aggressive.
- Conscientiousness – Is a person goal-directed, persistent, organized, careful, and diligent. Or, impulsive and disorganized.
- Intellect/Imagination – This factor is also often called Openness to Experience. How open a person is to new ideas and experiences? Those who score low tend to be traditional and conventional.
