The results of my International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) test were rather surprising. I have taken a similar test before on the big five personality traits, but I don\u2019t recall my results being the same. It was eye-opening on certain aspects, but also reassuring with others. I scored high in extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness, while scoring very low in openness to experience. As for neuroticism, my results stated that I scored average, indicating that my level of emotional reactivity is typical of the general population. My scores for each category were as followed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Extraversion – 73<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agreeableness – 68<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conscientiousness – 97<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Neuroticism – 62<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Openness to Experience – 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With these results, it can be said that I am an outgoing and personable individual who is sympathetic towards others. I have a strong interest in their needs and well-being. However, I personally don\u2019t express my emotions openly. I am very determined and hardworking, which means others can rely on me to get things done. I most certainly don\u2019t like change. I get anxious due to stressful or frustrating situations, but I can cope with this rather quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A future employer looking at my results would say some of my strengths are being dependable, caring, and a team player. I am a people person who can get along with nearly anyone. I don\u2019t mind speaking out and taking charge in a group setting, but I strongly believe in cooperation. An employer knows they could count on me to talk to whomever I cross paths with, given my outgoing personality. I care about those around me and would do almost anything to help others out. I thrive off of getting things done, meaning I am self-disciplined and orderly with my work. An employer would never have to worry about me not getting work done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for weaknesses, an employer might say I don\u2019t like uncertainty and that I am very plain and simple. It could also be mentioned that I often don\u2019t think abstractly or outside the box. This is not my strong suit. I lack creativity and the willingness to complete tasks outside my normal duties. While this could affect my work, it could also impact those around me. Good or bad, an employer would know what they are getting when they hire me based on the results from this test.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
