My Big Five Personality test resulted as low in openness to experience which my score for openness was low at 60%. Openness describes a person tendency that thinks in abstract and complex ways. The high scorers associate ideas and see relationships between things. Someone who scores low tends to see more literally and focus on the practical, straightforward and concrete. People who resulted in low openness are more practical, traditional. Conventional and comfortable in familiar surroundings. People who score low are more conservative and spend their time enjoying entertainment for instances sports, movies and music. They are not interested in art and avoid high-brow cultural activities.
I scored 73% in conscientiousness which is in the moderate

Neuroticism can be describing as a person who has the tendency to experience a negative emotion, fear, sadness, anxiety, guilt and shame. People experience this type of emotion sometimes but others can be more prone to it. This trait has been said to be more of an alarm system because people experience the negative as a sign that something may have went wrong. Someone that scores low is more likely to brush the misfortune off and move on. The score indicates that I can experience a negative emotion and that I would feel any type of sadness, worry, anger and guilt as an average person. I am not reactive or resistance to any stress of …show more content…
Solutions with working with other personality types using the information from the big five assessments and the underlying principles of trait theories I suggest taking notes of the personality trait before you hire them. I also suggest look for someone who has a type of personality that fits into your company cultures and pair some of the new employees with team members who has the type of personality as them.
Describe how your results from the assessment compare to the 16 personality
According to the IPIP-NEO personality assessment I am average when it comes to extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness but, rank low on the neuroticism and openness to experience categories. When I read the title ‘openness’ I assumed that it would mean friendly or something along the lines of that. After I read the description of what openness truly means I was a bit offended at first because I believed the score was telling me that I was not a smart person. As I read deeper into the meaning that the assessment gave I realized that “down to earth, practical, and conservative” (Johnson) were not insults but adjectives that I would have chosen for myself, minus the conservative part. Conservative is not a word that I would ever use for my way of thinking and that one section of openness to experience did not correlate with me. I am not a person who likes to think critically and that may be the reason why I dislike math so much. I refuse to
The Big Five Personality Test provided an interesting account of my personality. Although the majority of the results were accurate, I was surprised by two of the outcomes. According to this test, I am a closed-minded, unmethodical, social butterfly that is well-mannered towards others and composed under pressure (John, 2009). First, the results were completely accurate as I am extremely extroverted. I never meet a stranger, and I carry on conversations with anyone. From the custodian, to the cashier, to a random person on the street, it gives me a great sense of fulfillment to engage in dialogue with others from all walks of life. Second, I agree that I am polite and supportive, especially with family and friends. Overall, I try to always
The bases of this paper will be based on the results that I had obtained when I took the Myers-Briggs personality test. The results that I had obtained was that I was determined to be an ENFJ. I will go into depth about letter and how each represents that a specific aspect of my personality. The results that I had received were not what I had expected, but the more I read about the trait the more I realized how it suited me. I will also talk about the information that I had found useful from the book, Type Talk at Work: How the 16 Personalities Types Determine Your Success on the Job by Otto Kroeger, which gave me insight on how to interact with other personality types especially in the work environment. The information that I absorbed from the personality test and from the book will go into use in my personal and work life so that both environments will be cohesive and peaceful.
Neuroticism boldly contrasts with the other personality traits in the Five Factor Model for personality (Openness, Agreeableness, Extraversion, Contentiousness, and Neuroticism). An individual being high in any of the other four traits could hardly be considered pathological. For example, high levels of agreeableness, within reason, would probably be considered to be a positive and healthy characteristic. However, the discussion regarding neuroticism certainly takes a darker turn. Gunthert, Cohen, and Armeli (1999) in their study, operationally define neuroticism as a predisposition to experience negative affect (negative emotional systems). Lahey (2009) defines it slightly differently, as the tendency to “respond with negative emotions to threat, frustration, or loss.” More generally, the personality trait is characterized by anxiety, angry hostility, depression, self-consciousness, impulsiveness, and vulnerability (Cervone & Pervin, 2010). Neuroticism has critical implications outside of personality psychology. Some researchers suggest that neuroticism is significantly correlated with both physical and mental health issues more so than any other personality trait variable. This increased risk is not just for a particular group of pathologies; neuroticism has been linked to Axis I and II disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) across the board (Lahey, 2009). In some occupational performance studies, negative affect was negatively related to job performance (Kaplan, Bradley, Luchman, & Haynes, 2009). This may be extrapolated to individuals high in neuroticism, as it the trait is the predisposition for the experience of negative affect. Research on daily stress and coping showed th...
The Neuroticism-Extraversion-Openness Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) is a widely used personality inventory. It has sixty questions using a Likert scale that measures five personality traits: OCEAN – openness (to experience,), conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. My overall results from the NEO-FFI were low in neuroticism, low in extraversion, high in openness, average in agreeableness, and high in conscientiousness. Likewise, my results were fairly consistent with what I had originally perceived my scores to be. Overall, I do agree with my results since there were many consistencies I recognized. Yet, at the same time, my behavior could fall into both categories of high and low compared to the norms. Additionally,
I found the results of my self-assessments to be a very insightful and accurate description of myself. The results of the learning styles test and the Keirsey Temperament Sorter II are very valuable for examining my personality traits and learning style and making improvements as needed.
Openness, the first area of the personality test, is described as a person’s ability to think in abstract, complex ways. In this section, I scored a 70% which means that I am moderately open to experience. People who are creative, intellectual and adventurous tend to score higher, whereas people who are dull, practical and more concretely focused tend to score lower. Since I scored moderately, I fall in between both
Managers seem to inherit a strong trust in the authority of personality traits to forecast behavior at the work area. If managers thought that situations resolute behavior, they would hire individuals almost at random and assemble the situation correctly. But the employee selection procedure in most establishments places a great deal of importance on how applicants achieve in interviews and on examine through which the personality of a person can be achieved and the task distribution can be much easy varying upon the type of personality (Robbins, Odendaal and Roodt, 2001)
Allport defines personality as ‘the dynamic organisation within the individual of those psychological systems that determine his unique adjustment to his environment’ (Allport, 1937). An individual’s unique personality traits and attributes are a powerful indicator of how he/she will interact with the work environment. The difference between average and outstanding employees can often be solely personality related. As the employee is the most valuable asset to the company, ‘selecting the right employee during the process is critical’ (Carbery and Cross, 2013, pp. 41-53)
After taking the Big Five Personality Test I’ve concluded that it is a fairly accurate assessment of my personality. 1) On Openness to Experience/Intellect I ranked at the 53 percentile, with the description that I don’t typically seek out new experiences. I would agree with this assessment. While I am somewhat creative, I am no artist. It takes me more time to do something creative than something analytical, but I do still like to be creative on occasion.
Personality types are a crucial part of any business and management organizations, it is important for individuals to identify weakness and strengths about their own personality types, learn how to apply those, and influence or connect with their peers to improve the organization they are a part of.
Overall, I agree with the outcome of the Big Five Personality Test. I agree that I am slightly conscientious. I am very well organized when I take the time to be, however, I usually have more pressing priorities. However, even when I don’t take the time to be very well organized, I am never disorganized. I also agree that I am more introverted and prefer to spend quiet time alone. This allows me to rest and reflect on my thoughts and experiences. For me, being alone allows for deeper, more profound insights and thoughts.
Upon completion of the Big Five Personality test, my results were somewhat surprising to me. Overall, I scored on the low end for Openness to Experience/Intellect, Extraversion and Neuroticism dimensions and on the high end for Conscientiousness and Agreeableness dimensions. For the Openness to Experience/Intellect, my score indicated that I prefer traditional and familiar experiences. While that may be true, it also indicated that I was uncreative and had narrow interest. I think I am a very creative person, because some

Neuroticism (N) is the personality dimension of negative emotions, such as fear, anxiety, anger and vulnerability (2,3).
