What aspects of personality does this tell me about?
There has been much research on how people describe others, and five major
dimensions of human personality have been found. They are often referred to as
the OCEAN model of personality, because of the acronym from the names of the
five dimensions. Here are your results:
Open-Mindedness
High scorers tend to be original, creative, curious, complex; Low scorers tend to be
conventional, down to earth, narrow interests, uncreative.
You are somewhat conventional.
(Your percentile: 32)
Conscientiousness
High scorers tend to be reliable, well-organized, self-disciplined, careful; Low scorers
tend to be disorganized, undependable, negligent.
You are very well-organized, and can be relied
upon. (Your percentile: 90)
Extraversion
High scorers tend to be sociable, friendly, fun loving, talkative; Low scorers tend to be
introverted, reserved, inhibited, quiet.
You are extremely outgoing, social, and
energetic. (Your percentile: 92)
Agreeableness
High scorers tend to be good natured, sympathetic, forgiving, courteous; Low scorers
tend to be critical, rude, harsh, callous.

The Big Five was originally derived in the 1970's by two independent research
teams -- Paul Costa and Robert McCrae (at the National Institutes of Health), and
Warren Norman (at the University of Michigan)/Lewis Goldberg (at the
University of Oregon) -- who took slightly different routes at arriving at the same
results: most human personality traits can be boiled down to five broad
dimensions of personality, regardless of language or culture. These five
dimensions were derived by asking thousands of people hundreds of questions
and then analyzing the data with a statistical procedure known as factor analysis.
It is important to realize that the researchers did not set out to find five
dimensions, but that five dimensions emerged from their analyses of the data. In
scientific circles, the Big Five is now the most widely accepted and used model
of personality (though of course many other systems are used in pop psychology
and work contexts; e.g., the MBTI).
In order to provide you with a meaningful comparison, the scores you received
have been converted to “percentile scores.” This means that your personality
score can be directly compared to another group of people who have also taken
this personality test. The percentile scores show you where you score on each
personality dimension relative to other people, taking into account normal
differences in gender and age.
For example, your Extraversion percentile score is 92, which means that about 92

percent of the people in the comparison sample are less extraverted than you. In
other words, you are strongly extroverted as compared to them. Keep in mind
that these percentile scores are relative to our particular sample of people. Thus,
your percentile scores may differ if you were compared to another sample (e.g.,
elderly British people).
