After completing the test, I ended with the results for the following sections extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience. The factors that are involved with extraversion (high 87) are: friendliness, gregariousness, assertiveness, activity level, excitement seek and cheerfulness. The scores for each are in the respective order of 87,97,55,88,88,76, and 46. Cheerfulness being the lowest and friendliness being the highest. My overall score was very high meaning that I’m sociable, outgoing, energetic, and lively. The next was agreeableness (high 82) which I received the scores: trust 92, morality 89, altruism 89, cooperation 5, modesty 65, and sympathy 90. The next is conscientiousness (high 75), I receive the following score for this: self-efficacy 90, orderliness 73, dutifulness 78, achievement-striving 76, self-discipline 57, and cautiousness 38. The next one is neuroticism (average 50) the following score are: anxiety 64, anger 60, depression 30, self-consciousness 67, immoderation 58, and vulnerability 19. The last is openness (low 26) and those scores is as follows: imagination 4, artistic interest 40, emotionality 91, adventurousness 28, intellect, 4 and liberalism 53. After reading the summary, I realize that the descriptions are scary accurate. I don’t think there is a single
After looking at the results, I think that a employer might find these results interesting. I think the part that stood out to me the most agreeableness the explanation for this is doing what’s in the best interest of people. I think my score reflect a certain career field in the business industry. I think more specifically a sales position. These traits have a strong relation to relationships built between employer, employee, and customer. I think the biggest concern that an employer might find with these results is that the openess is low compared to the other traits. This might be an issue if the industry was more of a liberal industry, where everything might be an open minded thought.

Hey Kyle,
I scored quite differently than you overall, however we do have some similarities like our level of extroversion. I don’t know about you, but I love taking these tests because it helps me find areas that I can work on and improve in. I also found it a bit scary to see the accuracy of this test!
Thanks!
Hi Kyle,
I also scored low on openness to experience, which surprised me. I think you make a great point that an individuals rankings in each of these categories can be viewed positively or negatively based on the industry that the specific line of work is for. In looking at the industry you currently work in or hope to work in, do you think that your personality traits fit well?
Nice job this week.
