Mini IPIP6 Personality Report

The mean age of the participants was 19.3 which means our sample was very close to the average age of college students. The standard deviation between participants was .955, the minimum age was 18 years old and the maximum was 22 years old. 3 out of the 102 participants age were missing from the data. The question responses were used to find the standard deviation and mean for the Big Five personality trait score. The Big Five personality traits are extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to experiences. The response scales for these were from a 1 to 7, with a range of 6. The higher the response score the more the participant agreed with the statement and the lower the score less the participant

Next, extraversion refers to the range of extraverts-introverts: sociable to unsociable, lively to unlively, active to inactive, assertive to unassertive, and sensation seeking to predictive live style. McCrosky et al. (2001) found that extraversion is highly related to traits of assertiveness and shyness (p.361). Extraverts have many friends and enjoy being around other people while introverts have a few intimate friends and enjoy spending their time alone. The traits in extraversion are expansive in size and direction.

This paper describes the results of the Myers-Briggs personality types of extravert, intuitive, thinking, and judging (ENTJ). These personality results identify potential careers and occupations, communication types, and partner compatibility information. The research will describe the validity of each personality trait and the characteristics associated with the personality of ENTJ. Additionally, the research is beneficial for my career to gain an understanding of how I can apply my strengths to different aspects of my job. The paper focuses on how the personality results can be useful in the workplace and the disadvantages of the personality.

High scores in extraversion correlate to talkative, bold, spontaneous, impulsive and energetic behaviour (McCabe & Fleeson 2012)

These experiments were conducted to show how the Bog Five personality traits contribute to a prosocial response to the pain of others. The aim of the experiments is to find out how peoples Big Five personality traits are used to observe other’s pain assessments. With the hypothesis of the experiment being conscientiousness and agreeableness would be the traits that greatly contribute to the judgements of the observer when confronted with others expressions of pain. Two experiments were undertaken to prove the hypothesis. In experiment one 59 healthy participants

Inevitably, I have learned many personal skills and people skills while growing up. Although I have always been aware of my various personal skills, I have never actually taken any assessments to gauge my personality, interests, and values before taking this class. After taking this class, I have learned a lot about myself and the various career paths available to me. From the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test, I scored as an INTP personality type. As this personality type, it states that I am a logical person who is quiet, contained and flexible. Moreover, it states that I am skeptical, sometimes critical, and always analytical. Although I do agree with some of the information it states, I feel that I identify more with the ENTP personality type.

The NEO-PI-R (Neuroticism Extraversion Openness Personality Inventory- Revised) was published in 1992 by Paul T. Costa Jr., PhD and Robert R. McCrae, PhD under the Psychological Assessment Resources (Costa & McCrae, 1992). This edition mimicked the 1978 edition of the NEO-PI (Piedmont, 2001). The NEO-PI-R is a personality inventory which uses the well-recognized five domains of personality and their thirty facets to increase the specificity and accuracy of the results (Costa & McCrae, 1992). The NEO-PI-R can be administered individually or in groups, and is a self-reported and observer reported test (Costa & McCrae, 1992). Originally the NEO-PI-R cost were $25.00 per pack of 10 for booklets and answer sheets, $21.00 per package of 25 for hand scoring sheets, $21.00 per pack of 25 for adult (Forms S and R) as well as the College Student Profile forms, $15.00 per 25 pack for the summary sheets

The study was conducted using the IPIP measure scales; (Extraversion, Neuroticism, Openness, Agreeableness & Conscientiousness), (Goldberg, 1999) and the Big Five Factor Model which measure the personality factors of the Big Five (Costa & McCrae, 1992). The four goals of Psychology was taken into consideration using the 25-item translated questionnaire with a 5 point Likert scale.

Up until the 1980’s, measurements, interpretations and descriptions of personality were not entirely structured or simple, though around this time researchers within the field of psychology came to an agreement that personality actually can be simplified. Now the plurality of researchers believe that personality can be summarized into five dominate traits, being extraversion, neuroticism, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness, all constituting the Five Factor Model. However, before a consensus flourished among researchers and they began to rely on the Five Factor Model, personality psychologists Paul Costa and Robert McCrae developed the NEO-Personality Inventory which features and focuses on the stated five traits. Today, descriptions of the traits represented by the Five Factor Model vary only slightly when it comes to researchers, yet and luckily, factor analytic techniques, which are in contrast to mathematical procedures, continue to support the conviction that the Five Factor Model is scrupulous.

Personality variables have long been hypothesized to be related to expressions of feelings and behaviors (Eysenck, 1992) and others have shown direct relationships with affect (Costa & McCrae, 1984; Diener & Emmons, 1984). There have been significant relationships reported especially for the traits of extraversion and neuroticism. Generally, extraversion is positively correlated with positive affect and neuroticism is positively correlated with negative affect.

The Big Five model of personality traits is a widely accepted and popular framework in personality psychometrics that is aimed at assessing personality according to traits. Traits refer to an individual’s stable characteristics that predispose them to behave in particular ways across contexts (de Bruin & Taylor, 2013). In other words, trait psychologists aim to assess the consistencies in an individual’s behaviour in order to gain insight into the individual’s general ways of interacting with people and the environment. Using factor analysis on multiple personality scales, psychologists have described and summarised personality traits in terms of five broad traits: Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion,

Extraversion is one of the five personality traits. People who have high score in extraversion, they tend to be more talkative, friendly, warmth and cheerfulness. They are basically like to meet new friends in their life. People who extraversion they are either born naturally (nature) or they are influenced by the environment (nurture). In a research shows that strong genetic component contribute around 40 and 60 percent of variance between extroversion and introversion. Also, another study shows that environment carries consequences (Cherry, 2012). Researchers link this traits with cortical arousal whereby they conclude that different personality has different cortical arousal. Extraverts need more external stimulation than introverts. People who has high score in extraversion, they are often become leader in a group as they can mix around with people easily and they have high leadership skills. In researches, they have shown that people who is high in extraversion are less likely to experience anxiety. They always having positive

Although the acceptance of classification cannot reach universal, in the theories about personality, Big Five Personality probably is most well-established one with the most widely accepted conceptual structure. The five dimensions of individual personality which are: Openness, Conscientious, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Emotionally stability, and based on these dimensions, Costa and McCrae (1992) constructed the Five-factor model (FFM). According to Barrick et al. (2013), these personality traits can be formulated as “Psychological mechanisms” which are significant to individuals’ ideas, feelings and mood, and behaviors. There are a considerable number of studies on the link of the Big Five traits to variety of

In most cultures around the world, personality traits can be clearly summarized by the five broad dimensions of the Five Factor Model (FFM) that makes it feasible to compare cultures on personality and psychopathology. One of the main catalysts for the advancement of research on personality in current years has been the growing consensus for a personality model encircling five wide dimensions, namely Neuroticism (N), Extraversion (E), Openness to Experience (O), Agreeableness (A), and Conscientiousness (C).

Various studies have been conducted on personality and the behavioral traits in humans. From Carl Jung’s psychological types we first explored the general attitudes of extroverts and introverts and
