Extraversion 80, Agreeableness 74, Conscientiousness 39, Neuroticism 14, and Openness to Experience 45
I agree with these results. I am often considered an extrovert on personality tests so that did not surprise me. I am also not surprised by the agreeableness, growing up in a large family we didn’t have a choice but to get along and come to group decisions.
The highest score in conscientiousness is dutifulness, and I feel as though this correlates with me being the oldest sibling. I feel a sense of duty in a lot of what I do, especially if there are other relying on me.
Neuroticism was decently low, but I think that I have found ways to cope that work for me. My highest score was in immoderation when I have strong craving that I have difficulty resisting and the best example that I can think of is that I will always order dessert.
Lastly, openness to experience was a 45 which I thought was a little low since I consider myself being adventurous. However, maybe this is with age and I am not as adventurous and open minded as I though I would be. My lowest scores in this area were intellect and artistic interests and truthfully, that makes sense because I have a short attention span and like to deal with people and things instead of ideas.
If a potential employer were to look at this, I think they would recognize that I am a positive and hard-working individual who likes to work within facts and operations.
A strength that an employer would find include friendliness, gregariousness, and high activity level. This would lead to the fact that I can thrive in environments that have a lot of social interaction and are fast paced. Additional strengths from the agreeableness pillar is cooperation, altruism, and modesty. I believe that this would lead to a job in leadership because I genuinely find helping others succeed to be very rewarding.
A weakness could be my liberalism, depending on the employee. Since I am ready to challenge authority, convention, and traditional values, it may not be beneficial for a company to constantly have a challenging employee.
