Big Five Personality Analysis

I have read about the big five personality test, designed to get an idea about the personality with some multiple choice questions. I run the test and found that traits described in the results are somewhat matching with my personality. I am not 100 % agree with some of the test results. I will discuss each traits below.

After taking the Big Five Personality Assessment, I was able to decode certain aspects of my personality and analyze whether different strengths and weaknesses. One strength I found was me openness to experience. Being open to others and their ideas has broadened my horizons. I have found that I have so much to learn from others. Whether their ideas are positive or negative, they provide feedback which overall has increased my communication skills. This is a recent strength for me. With prior companies, change was delivered as bad news, we were not taught to work with our peers but rather compete. With my new company I am experiencing the opposite side of the spectrum. I am encouraged to communicate with anyone needed, regardless of

Each of these components have personality traits that are associated with them. Extraversion refers to the degree in which a person is active, energetic, talkative, and assertive. Openness refers to the degree in which a person is imaginative, independent, and prefers variety. Agreeableness depends on the individual’s level of compassion, trust, and good nature. Conscientiousness is the extent to which a person is organized, careful, and responsible. Lastly, neuroticism relates to a person’s emotional stability and negative emotions. If you experience this, you score higher in neuroticism. I personally took a survey on the Big Five and I would have to say that I agree with the results for the most part. The only component I disagreed with was openness because it put me in the 6th percentile. I think this is a little low, but not too far off. It is said that results in these five factors can vary based on culture.

The primary idea of this paper is, how alcohol effects high school students academically. To calculate this measure of achievement, they measured the student’s grade point average. Williams Powell, and Wechsler studied the association between alcohol consumption, and GPA. Versus DeSimone, and Wolaver’s investigated the effect of underage drinking with high school students. Throughout the latter study, a negative association was found among drinking and high school students. Research on adolescent brain development stated that, the physical development of the brain structure could be affected negativity by excessive consumption of alcohol. The national Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health employed data from a couple of waves that contained

By the time a parent sends their teenager off to college, chances are that they have already not only had their first drink, but have also been drunk numerous times. When an individual enters college the binge drinking doesn’t decrease, but increases. A plethora of variables have an effect on how college students view binge drinking and their attitude towards how much an individual binges drink, but three that will be stressed are gender, race, and age of first alcoholic consumption. The following articles highlight the correlations between the three variables in regards to the evolution of individuals drinking habits, attitudes about binge drinking in college, how the age of first consumptions determines how severe of a binge drinker and individual will become,

Chapter five “Personality and Values” In this chapter I learned about the Big Five personality traits; extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to experience.

In taking the Big Five Personality Test, I find the results to be consistent with my personality. According to the results, I am a conventional and down to earth person that is very well-organized and can be relied upon. Furthermore, I am a nervous and quiet person with the tendency to be mean and rude to others. These findings are pretty accurate because I know for a fact that I am a very well-organized person with no intention of being center of attention in a room full of people. Furthermore, my friends are always telling me that I am rude and harsh on certain things. Finally, I prefer to see things realistically rather than using my imagination and being creative.

Using the Big Five Project personality test, I assessed my personality in the aspects of openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. After several questions, the results were given where my lowest score was in the category of openness and the highest score was in the agreeableness category. In the openness to experience or intellect, I scored in the percentile of 20 and it was deemed that I was somewhat conventional. Scoring high in this category meant that a person is creative and original, while those who scored poorly were deemed as conventional and close minded. In the conscientiousness category, I scored in the 58th percentile and I was considered to be neither organized nor disorganized. Those

“There are changes in social and affective processing during adolescence, the neurodevelopmental changes mean that adolescents behavior is particularly flexible and well suited to adapting to different situations. (Peeters, et. al., 2014). Due to the flexibility of adolescents, they will quickly adjust to pressure from peers, without considering possible effects of their decision. If the group they strive to become a part of consumes alcohol, there is a great chance that they will quickly adapt to that habit to gain approval. The quick adjustments to pressure are due to a lack of maturity, during adolescent years. Genetics, can also play a major role in the risk of adolescent alcohol use. Psychologist can use known genetic characteristics to anticipate an adolescents chance of being affected by alcohol. According to Marshall (2014), one characteristic that can be measured but cannot be seen is endophenotypes. “Endophenotypes are not an element of the disorder but are associated with it, contribute to individual vulnerability and are seen in the families of affected individual.” (Marshall, 2014). Adolescent’s that come from a family of alcohol abusers have a higher chance of developing problems with alcohol. Along with the environmental and genetic factors, hormonal factors play a role in alcohol use for adolescents. Many hormones are flowing through the body

It has been found that some adolescents are more at risk of abusing alcohol or drugs than others. For example, adolescents who have been abused are at an increased risk of alcohol use early in their lives due to the trauma (Hamburger, Leeb and Swahn, 2008). It has also been proposed that specific personality traits increase the likelihood of alcohol use and misuse (Hudson, Wekerle and Stewart, 2015; Pihl and Peterson, 1995). An example of the personality traits are anxiety sensitivity (Reiss et al, 1986) and impulsivity (Dawe and Loxton, 2004). Personality traits such as these, as well as certain situations, have been found to increase susceptibility to abusing alcohol, as it may encourage risky motives for drinking. These include coping motives, where young people may drink to numb negative feelings, and to conform to peer behaviour to avoid repercussions (Hudson, Wekerle and Stewart,

The Big Five Personality Profile indicated that my top two dimensions were Openness and Agreeableness. These fit perfectly into the most challenging project of my career, building a new hospital. I was the technology leader for the Good Samaritan new hospital project.

I took the big 5 personality test and scored over 50% in 4 traits. The trait that I scored the highest in was conscientiousness. I scored 97% in conscientiousness and can honestly say that I can relate to this trait. When it comes to a project I never give up no matter how difficult it may be. I am also very organized; I always keep my room clean and reorganize my purse daily. Punctuality is also important to me; I have never been late to work throughout my entire life. I usually plan accordingly so I can always make it to my appointments on time. Another trait that I scored high on was agreeableness. I scored 91% on agreeableness. Daily when I’m crossing paths with strangers I usually shoot them a smile and tell them hello. I am also very

My Big Five personality test results show that I am a conscientious individual, in which I scored 4.4 and the percentile indicates that I am higher than 90 of the norm sample. I agree with my result because I am a person who puts big effort in what I do and try to achieve high levels of efficiency. Also, I am a person who likes order and get things done as perfect as I can.

The big five personality test gave your results in a acronym (OCEAN) form. Openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism are the words that make up the acronym. My results were Openness to Experience/Intellect- 96 percentile, Conscientiousness- 41 percentile, Extraversion- 64 percentile, Agreeableness-32 percentile and Neuroticism-49 percentile. Overall, I liked the Big Five website however I personally enjoyed taking the Jung typology test better as I thought that it had more accurate results. I liked how the Big Five test did not put you into a specific category and just showed your percentiles. It compared your percentages to others who have taken this test before which I thought was an interesting way to get

The big five model of personality traits: openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism.  Openness uses the imagination to create situations, experiences, and ideas.  Conscientiousness is a disposition of organized, orderly, punctual, and detail oriented.  Extraversion is looking for social situations, thrilling experiences, and generally happy.  Agreeableness is a warm, friendly, and trusting disposition.  Neuroticism is a negative emotions from experience such as anxiety, fear, sadness, and depression.  The big five model goes from low to high as poles of opposition.  The personality traits have an influence on behavior of individuals.  The connection between the traits, behavior, and creativity is characterized by two key components.  The components are that personality separates us from one another, which makes us unique and enduring or consistent to the individuals.  In other words, personality endures to how individuals think, act, and feel.  The creativity is thoughts or behaviors that are original and meaningful.
