However, she did experience some adjustment difficulties in her 20s. Specifically, the adjustment difficulties manifested as depressive symptoms when she left home and was on her own for the first time. Felicia stated that coming home and being by herself, making new friends and meeting new people was difficult. Due to her adjustment difficulties, Felicia reported briefly receiving treated from a therapist and was prescribed a medication. When asked about the medication, she said it may have been an anti-depressant medication, but she did not remember for sure. She reported that her experience with the therapist was brief but generally positive and that she coped with her depressive symptoms by getting involved with different things such as work and spending time with coworkers. Felicia reported no significant psychiatric or substance use issues for her immediate or extended

The title of judge is not me, I do fit into the personality type of perceive. My thoughts do move rapidly from one subject to another. I sometimes find it hard to stay on topic if a new ideal pops into my head. I am often late finishing projects, but I always have them finished “in time”. I enjoy doing new things and am not afraid of the unknown. My work area may appear to others as disorganized, but I see it as the result of a busy mind. I do not; however, agree with all the results. It is very hard for me to concentrate with background noise. I do not like the TV or radio on, when I study. I find this to be a distraction. Although I like to talk, I am also a good listener. I often express my feelings even if it causes conflict. I would rather get the feelings out in the open than to hold them inside to grow and cause greater conflict later. I agree I have an ENFP personality. I am very much a people person. I enjoy having lots of friends and doing activities or projects in a group rather than alone. I currently work at a local pharmacy, and find that my personality makes it easier to deal with several things at once. It also helps with serving the variety of

P.’s combination of neuroticism and extraversion scores, the affective plan, show that P. is an introvert. As such, she enjoys the quiet of solitude and solitary activities. With that profile P. might have a few close friends, which keep the commotion of being around others to a minimal level and thus keep her emotional reaction leveled.

They will often have strong reactions to even minor negative events and have a hard time handling stressful situations. Conversely, someone who is low on neuroticism will rarely experience strong negative states and will be much more stable emotionally. They will generally stay calm and handle stressful situations well. Choosing neuroticism as our second independent variable allows us to fill gaps in the previous research by examining the possibility of implicit egotism caused by negative self-associations and learning more about how personality traits affect implicit egotism.

Neuroticism has seemed to be an influential trait in my personality from a young age. Though I have been told that I was not a fussy baby, I do know that as I got older I seemed to become more easily emotionally affected. The emotions I typically would express are those of sadness, worry, or anxiety instead of anger or aggressiveness. These feelings have increased with age due to deeper introspection in addition to more difficult life circumstances and greater daily

Individuals with a high standing on neuroticism will be anxious and worried quite a bit of the time. They may feel guilty often and be very tense. They will be likely to have a low self-esteem and are prone to moodiness and irrational thinking, as well as depression. Someone with a low standing on neuroticism will be much more laid back and more likely to go with the flow. They will maintain a more upbeat, positive attitude, even when in negative situations, which contributes to a higher self-esteem. Because of this, they will also be more likely to recover quickly from negative life events.

Link to leadership: Overall, I think this is one category where I could begin to improve. We have learned in class that extraversion is highly favored by society for those in leadership positions. I think I am in a good place because I am able to be extraverted when needed, but also can be reserved when around those much more extraverted. According to the article “5 Reasons Introverts Make Better Leaders,” an introverted leader is more likely to be a good listener, which can be helpful when building relationships. Introverts also tend to have more meaningful relationships since they don’t waste time talking to everyone. Finally, introverts are more productive because they are not easily distracted. Still, I think it would benefit me to work on my extraversion because it is something that is quickly noticed by people and can have a huge effect on how I am positively or negatively perceived. Since I am toward the middle of the scale, I believe I am in a good place to lead both types of people. If leading a group of extraverts I can be laid back and listen to everyone. However, if leading a group of introverts I think I would be able to motivate and create a positive work environment. Either way, I definitely plan to work the hardest to improve this category.

The insecurity associated with neuroticism can lead to quitting and dissatisfaction with one’s job. Analysis suggests a correlation between neuroticism and academic achievement, particularly for the anxiety and impulsiveness facets. This relationship may be due to the correlation that neuroticism has with study attitudes. Agreeable people may often be high-performing individuals due to their willingness to adapt to and understand their environment. Although the temperamental precursors of agreeableness, such as prosocial orientation, relate to better social adjustment, relations between these temperamental precursors and academic attainment are consistently insignificant. Extraversion has been positively correlated with occupations that require social interactions, training proficiency, and leadership abilities. Extraversion has also been positively correlated with job satisfaction and leadership abilities in general, there does not seem to be a relationship between extraversion and college performance, although some studies have found evidence for a small, negative

While I he American culture, extroversion is the desirable trait for that majority of jobs there are still jobs that introverts are more suited to hold. Growing up with a huge family, I think influenced me the most for being very low on the extroversion scale. While women score higher on the agreeableness scale which is why I probably score higher on the scale like my fellow women. I also, sore high n the openness, because ever since I was little my parents have traveled all over the world bringing my siblings and I along for the journey. My conscientiousness comes from my mother and grandmother whom were both neat freaks and were always on top of us kids to be organized and clean up after our-selves from a very young age. And my neuroticism

People high in agreeableness tend to be trusting, friendly and cooperative. (27) Is about average. Factor III conscientiousness, this trait reflects how organized and persistent we are in pursuing our goals. High scorers are methodical, well organized and dutiful. (45) Is relatively high. Factor IV neuroticism, this trait reflects the tendency to experience negative thoughts and feelings. High scorers are prone to insecurity and emotional distress.

Low scorers are more down-to-earth, less interested in art and more practical in nature. (16) Is relatively low.

Neuroticism is the tendency to experience frequent, intense negative emotions associated with a sense of uncontrollability in response to stress (Barlow et al. 2014). Those who have a neurotic temperament are not characterized by, but generally have negative emotions such as anxiety, fear, sadness, anger, and irritability, along with some physical problems (e.g. asthma, cardiovascular disease). A neurotic temperament can be problematic and develop into something serious. Better understanding neuroticism and applying the triple vulnerability theory will help with the treatment and prevention of mood and anxiety disorders.
