 Personality

Below are the results of your answers about your personality. Your personality, which tells us
about who you are, can be broken down into different parts or characteristics. We use the
famous Big-5 theory of personality, which consists of the following parts:

Extraversion
Your score on this scale shows your need for contact with other people. Introverts prefer to
work on their own and extroverts need contact with others and like variety.

You
Average VU student

Covert Spontaneous

Agreeableness
Your score on this scale shows the extent to which someone is naturally more concerned with
their own interests or more concerned with the interests of others. A lower score on this
scale makes someone more competitive, less accommodating. A higher score means that you
are generally more social and mild-mannered.

You
Average VU student

Stubborn Compliant

Conscientiousness
Your score on this scale shows whether you are someone who is naturally very orderly, always
on time and works in a structural and systematic way. Or are you more someone who is a bit
more flexible and sometimes a bit chaotic?

You
Average VU student

Chaotic Careful
 Personality

Negative Emotionality
Your score on this scale shows whether you are naturally calm and not easily disturbed. Or are
you naturally more sensitive and more easily (over)worried?

You
Average VU student

Calm Panicky

Open-mindedness
Your score on this scale shows to what extent you are open to new experiences. Are you
naturally imaginative, brimming with ideas and curious about how things can be done
differently? Or are you more traditional and do you prefer to keep things as they are?

You

Average VU student

Restrained Curious
The interpretation of this report

The Study Choice Check of VU Amsterdam consists of questions on: "What interests me?",
"What drives me?" and "Who am I?".

Of course - and fortunately - it is not possible to give advice about the study that suits you
based on the outcomes of these questions.

So what can you do with this data? The answers to the questions are a snapshot in time; you
are at the beginning of a new phase in your life. VU Amsterdam believes it is important that
you continue to discover and develop your qualities during your studies. Our society requires
people who are open-minded and have an eye for society. At VU Amsterdam, you will take
important steps in that direction.

You are invited to discover whether the answers you have given fit with the content of your
chosen study programme. This is a process; you will not know right at the start of your study
programme whether there is a match between you and the study programme - you will find
out in the course of time.

Save this report! The results may be useful later on in your studies, for example, during
mentoring interviews in which we guide your development.

We wish you a wonderful and instructive time at VU Amsterdam.

Kind regards,

Prof. Dr. Jeroen Geurts

Rector Magnificus Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
