The results I got having taken the test were not shocking to me, but also did have a few surprises within them that caught me off, guard. For context, I took the IPIP-NEO (shortened version) test, and scored as follows: Extraversion – 73, Agreeableness \u2013 58, Conscientiousness \u2013 77, Neuroticism \u2013 13, and Openness to Experience \u2013 1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That final score was one of the biggest shocks to me. According to the report a score this low indicates that I like things \u201cin plain and simple terms, others describe you as down-to-earth, practical, and conservative\u201d. While this statement I believe is accurate to some extent the breakdown of this score was interesting as it shows I scored a 1 in artistic interests and a 0 in emotionality, which I do not commonly think about or apply to myself. The remainder of my scores and their breakdowns felt \u201cproper\u201d for what I think of myself, describing me as \u201cexceptionally calm, and composed\u201d (neuroticism), \u201ca clear goal setter pursuing with determination\u201d (conscientiousness), and someone who has some concerns with others\u2019 needs (agreeableness). \u00a0Showing me overall as someone who is focused, determined, and thoroughly plans, while providing help to others as needed, but not taking it as a main priority above my own needs\/goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking at my results from this test, I believe that a future employer would say that my strengths are communication, cooperation, organization\/orderliness, and time management. All of these strengths stem from my extraversion, conscientiousness, and agreeableness scores. Which my high scores on each scale show an employer that I am willing to cooperate with others without intimidating them to get my way (cooperation), work closely with schedules and routines make lists, and properly plan everything out (openness\/organization). All while being very outgoing and extroverted allowing me to easily communicate and work with other employees, clients, and suppliers. As for my weakness, I think an employer would heavily lay into the low score in openness to experience and neuroticism pulling weakness out such as short-term orientation, trouble saying no, or perfectionism. The short-term orientation and trouble saying no stemmed from my low neuroticism score specifically the larger score in the immoderation facet, in which highly immoderate individuals tend to have issues resisting (saying no) and often want to see or be oriented towards short-term plans, goals, and rewards. While my low score in openness could have employers seeing a weakness with perfectionism I would show as much more contained, less open to changes, ideas from others, and emotions overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
