I was somewhat surprised by my overall score for Extroversion. I scored above 60 in all facets except Assertiveness which was 80 and Activity level which was 31 (which I expected). I thought I would score more in the 30 to 45 range in all facets. My Agreeableness domain showed that I am tough, critical, and uncompromising. I would say that is very accurate. I scored extremely high in all facets and agree with the descriptors. My scores on Neuroticism all extremely low “indicating that . . . [I am] exceptionally calm, composed and unflappable.” I don’t have intense emotions and don’t get stressed out easily. This is true. My Openness to Experience was extremely high which I expected.
A potential employer, would probably be happy to see that I am an Extrovert with assertive facets if they want me to deal well with clients and close deals. I am truly more energized when I am around people, and that facet of my personality has garnered me much success. I am also much more likely to walk around and meet others in large business or social settings. My Agreeableness scores are high in morality, cooperation, and sympathy, but I feel trust is earned.
A potential employer would like that I am highly Conscientiousness since the facets making up this domain can be tied to business and the outcomes are measurable. I am effective in my work and am extremely productive. I am very organized, but I don’t live by lists. I set goals that are high and reach them whether the tasks are difficult or unpleasant. More than anything, I think things though and am never jump to conclusions or act brashly.
A potential employer would most like be happy that I have extremely low scores in Neuroticism. I am not an anxious person, I am not angered easily, and I am stay emotional leveled at all times. My score shows the I am “exceptionally calm, composed, and unflappable.” An I am not a person who reacts to events with strong emotions or to situations others find taxing.
I do not think that a potential employer would be offput by my my Openness to Experience scores other than I am open to new ways of understanding, thinking, and doing things. If I am looing for a job in a puzzle factory, a travel agency, or an art studio a potential employer might be excited by many of the facets of my personality.
