Post your results: 42% openness 79% Conscientiousness 66% Extraversion 67% Agreeableness 35% Neuroticism Outlook: Optimist High levels of extraversion combined with low neuroticism mean that optimists always look on the bright side of life. This doesn’t mean that they don’t experience troubles from time to time, but they don’t let negative things get to them or bring their mood down. Your naturally sunny disposition means that you have plenty of other things to get excited about. Character: Helpful Helpful people naturally want everyone around them to be happy and will actively work towards helping them achieve this. They are even prepared to work long and hard on difficult and thankless tasks until they’re finished so others don’t have to. You have a good amount of self discipline and are able to channel this toward benefiting others. Self Control: Relaxed You may be very slow to anger, and reluctant to express it when it arises. As a result you may come across as too placid and seem like a bit of a pushover – but it’s just that you’d much rather forgive and forget than harbor a grudge until it festers. You know that there are two sides to every situation. Composure: Measured Measured people have a clear sense of their goals and what they need to do – and focus on – to achieve them. They tend not to be overly affected by external factors and take unexpected changes and opportunities in their stride. It’s crucial to maintain a realistic sense of achievement so you don’t let your ambitions run away with you. Taste: Blockbuster You enjoy life’s simple pleasures and are happily mainstream in your tastes – when it comes to some down time you want to be entertained, not confused or bored by something too weird or unusual. People who share this characteristic get a buzz from being with other people, so are naturally inclined towards communal activities. Sociability: Giver People with this characteristic are naturally good-natured and extremely sociable. They are easy to get along with, which means they tend to be pretty popular with everyone they meet. If you recognize this trait in yourself, remember your old friends who have known you for a long time are just as important as those new buddies. Action: Influential Influential people are productive, efficient and quick. They know what needs to be done and they’re ready, willing and able to make it happen. Sometimes your determination might come across to other people as pushiness though, so it’s important to know exactly where the line is between being influential and being domineering. Attitude: Traditional People with traditional attitudes rely on their values and beliefs to steer them through life’s problems. This means they have deep and strong connections to family and heritage, and have faith in all that has gone before. As a result they tend not to question the order of things as much as they could. You think things are a certain way for a reason, and you’re happy with that. Process: Organizer Organizers tend to be extremely methodical and diligent in their approach to work. They like to stick to the rules of the game, but this can mean that they lack imagination and creative flair at times. You may prefer structured learning to free thinking and like to have a clear sense of the start, middle and - crucially - end of a project. Resilience: Practical Practical people are unlikely to be derailed when they come up against difficulties. Rather than focus on any negative emotions that might be thrown up, they prefer to push them aside and focus on concrete actions and problem-solving, that will help them overcome the situation. Having faith in your ability to get through things is key.
