My test results were pretty accurate to what I would have thought. For extraversion I scored low, indicating that I am introverted, reserved, and quiet. For agreeableness I scored low, suggesting that I have less concern with others’ needs than with my own. For conscientiousness, my score was average meaning that I am reasonably reliable, organized, and self-controlled. For neuroticism my score was average, indicating that my level of emotional reactivity is typical of the general population. Lastly, for openness to experience, I scored low suggesting that I like to think in plain and simple terms.

As a potential employee, these results show both some strengths and weaknesses. My low score for extraversion would most likely be seen as a weakness to an employer, but depending on what the job position is it could be a factor that does not matter a whole lot because it essentially just means that I enjoy solitude and solitary activities. My low score on agreeableness would most definitely be seen as a weakness to an employer because it suggests that I am more concerned with myself than I am with others. This is not exactly something that would suggest I am a team player and care about the company as a whole which would not look good to a potential employer. However, this could have some benefits to it because it means that most people would see me as tough, critical, and uncompromising which can actually be a good thing in some jobs. My score for conscientiousness was average which would be a strength as an employee. It shows that I am reliable, organized, and self-controlled which are all traits that an employer would be looking for in a potential employee. For neuroticism, my score was average which would be a strength because it shows that I find stressful and frustrating situations upsetting just like anybody would, but I am able to get over these feelings and cope with these situations. Lastly, I scored low for openness to experience which could either be seen as a strength or a weakness depending on the potential job. It suggests that I am practical and conservative which can be good in some situations, but not as great in others.
