On this test I was somewhat surprised by my results, but some of the areas were what I would expect. I didn’t score extremely high or low most of my answers were in the “average” range which was really interesting. I scored a (52) on extroversion which I completely agree with. I enjoy being social, but I also enjoy time to myself it really depends on my mood and the situation. I scored an average (56) on agreeableness. I scored a slightly higher (58) on conscienciousness which the description said is reasonably reliable, organized and self controlled. I scored fairly low on neuroticism (34) and similarly on openness to experience (30). I was most surprised by the lower score on openness to experience because I am generally pretty adventurous and really enjoy trying new things. In the description it said I would be categorized as down to earth and practical though which I can see as fitting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a potential employer was looking at my scores they would likely not pick me for a job that needs an extreme personality. I think my score on extroversion is generally an asset as I can read many situations and fit into a lot of groups. I don’t have to be the center of attention but I can step up and lead when the opportunity presents itself. I also think being conscientious is always important, I don’t think my score is outstanding, but it’s definitely not a red flag for employers either. The same goes for agreeableness, I think employers would appreciate that I scored higher on elements like cooperation which is important in the workforce. I also think my score on neuroticism was okay although it could have been better. My results showed that my emotional reactions are normal and that I am able to get past them and move on. Depending on the job the importance of this could vary as some jobs require more control over your emotions than others. Finally, I think that employers could want someone with a higher openness to experience depending on the job. If it is a more traditional position that requires following strict guidelines then I think they would be happy with my score. Overall, it really depends on the position they are seeking to fill, in most cases each of these can be seen as positive or negative. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
