- They scored 47% on Openness, reflecting a tendency to not seek out new experiences.
- Their Conscientiousness score of 83% matches their well-organized nature.
- An Introversion score of 27% agrees with their preference to shy away from social situations.

There has been much research on how people describe others, and five major dimensions of human personality have been found. They are often referred to as the OCEAN model of personality, because of the acronym from the names of the five dimensions. 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: 47)
Conscientiousness
High scorers tend to be reliable, well-organized, self-disciplined, careful; Low scorers tend to be disorganized, undependable, negligent.
You are very well-organized, and can be relied upon. (Your percentile: 83)
Extraversion
High scorers tend to be sociable, friendly, fun loving, talkative; Low scorers tend to be introverted, reserved, inhibited, quiet. ACCURACY OF THE BIG FIVE 3
You tend to shy away from social situations. (Your percentile: 27)
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 criticize others. (Your percentile: 14)
Neuroticism
High scorers tend to be nervous, high-strung, insecure, worrying; Low scorers tend to be calm, relaxed, secure, hardy.
You tend to become anxious or nervous. (Your percentile: 60)
What do the scores tell me? In order to provide you with a meaningful comparison, the scores you received have been converted to "percentile scores." This means that your personality score can be directly compared to another group of people who have also taken this personality test. The percentile scores show you where you score on the five personality dimensions relative to the comparison sample of other people who have taken this test on-line. In other words, your percentile scores indicate the percentage of people who score less than you on each dimension. For example, your Extraversion percentile score is 27, which means that about 27 percent of the people in our comparison sample are less extraverted than you -- in other words, you are rather introverted. Keep in mind that these percentile scores are relative to our particular sample of people. Thus, your percentile scores may differ if you were compared to another sample (e.g., elderly British people).
The Big Five Personality Test outcome was basically accurate when describing my day to day personality. I say day to day personality because this is how I tend to come across on a daily basis as I interact face to face with other people. This test, along with several other aspects learned as we scratch the service of psychology, does not take into account all influences that ACCURACY OF THE BIG FIVE 4
may alter the way I am perceived by others. A forty seven percent score on the Openness to Experience/Intellect test reveals I do not seek out new experiences. Fluency, or lack of, results in a severe stutter if I am experiencing nervousness or lack of confidence. As a result, new experiences are only shared with others after hours of research and study and only if I am very confident in my findings and prepare visual aids to support my ideas which reduces necessary speech, hopefully. Conscientiousness score was high and accurate. I am introverted, as a twenty seven percentile reflects, because social situations are often awkward and tend to become miserable so I do shy away. Scoring in the fourteen percentile on the Agreeable test seems low because I feel I am good natured toward those who I deem deserving. Unfortunately, it takes quite a while before I really get to know someone. Until then, I guess people do see me as critical as I keep people at a safe distance. Sixty percent on the Neuroticism test is accurate and probably a huge part of my speech problem. Although I agree with the scores as they reflect my personality as seen by others, much of my actions are not my initial reaction. Finding myself in situations where I was rendered speechless and turning blue as I struggled to get a word out over the decades have resulted in a conscious attempt to avoid verbal interactions. I feel that if I could express myself effortlessly through speech that perceptions toward me by others would be different since I am seldom satisfied with anything. I would love to be able to debate so many things with intelligent adults on the spot instead of spending countless hours thinking ideas through by looking at situations from every angle. The majority of my thoughts and ideas are written in extreme detail and hidden away in one of the hundreds of notebooks I filled over the years until eventually they get thrown away. Professor Jenkins, the following text is on a more personal level and I hope you do not mind me inserting it here but I feel that it needs to be heard by someone other than myself. I do ACCURACY OF THE BIG FIVE 5
not want to come across as using my speech problems as a crutch but it has influenced so much of my life and often took me in directions I did not want to travel. As I learn a little about psychology and look back on my life I am finding answers too many of my questions. The text book spoke of the ability of someone to analyze themselves and the fact that many agree with the possibility while just as many believe it to be impossible. Events of my childhood may have be responsible for my stutter. Those events as well as my stutter caused me to turn inward at a young age. As I attempted to stay below the radar I found myself looking for answers within myself. As I read and learn about psychology I have found that many if the accepted ideas are remarkable close to those I came up with decades ago as I attempted to figure out myself and keep my sanity. Eventually I had to find a way to quit thinking and forget which led to living a lifestyle that was not truly me. Fortunately, I was able to escape my bad choices once my daughter was born twelve years ago. I guess I felt that it was no longer about me and was able to find myself in order to raise her, as a single parent for many of those years, to the best of my ability. At first this class offered some answers and I welcomed the knowledge. But learning has brought back so many things that I swallowed and keep hidden away for years and I fear that one textbook and eleven weeks will not give me the knowledge needed to deal with it everything. The option to return to a lifestyle which allowed me to stay numb is no longer an option so I have to find a way to deal with things that I could not handle as a child. School, as it relates in grades, has been a breeze for me ever since kindergarten. I have never made anything other than an A all through public school and two and two thirds years of college and did not have to try very hard. I can no longer say that anymore. This class has been much more difficult than any class I have ever taken. I thrive on concrete answers and tend to search for hours on end and still have not found anything definite in psychology. It is so difficult since everything ACCURACY OF THE BIG FIVE 6
about this course is not written in stone and limited time is a factor. Assignment one was written late and still did not provide everything that was expected even though I put so much time into it. I have become to realize this is an introduction class and not therapy and the answers I seek will not be clear and concrete. Honestly, I still think I will gain so much from this course, as long as I can retain my sanity, than a grade can reflect. But I have not given up on the A yet either and welcome any extras that will pull my grade back up. Thanks
