Q McCrae and Costa’s Five Factor Model of personality, also known as the Big Five, is the most popular and, according to research literature, the most accurate representation of our trait dimensions in personality psychology today (Funder, 2001, as cited in Speilman, et al. 2020). The five traits in the model are openness to experience, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism, which can be remembered with the mnemonic OCEAN. Consider, too, Susan Cain’s TED Talk and where you fit on the introversion-extraversion spectrum as you take The Big Five Personality Test.

The results on the Big Five was very similar to what I perceived about me as I feel I’m not an extrovert and get more open and comfortable with my people only. I’m not a party person and somewhat hesitate in interacting with strangers outside my professional area. The result showed that I got a score percentile of 37 on Factor 1 which is labelled as Extroversion. The score can be interpreted as a lower average. I got a score of the average percentile on emotional stability. I do agree with this score as I have both the traits of emotional stability and neuroticism. On Factor III, I got a score of 67 which indicates that I’m friendly and optimistic. I do agree with this result as I have an optimistic attitude, cooperative and honest. I got an above-average percentile score on conscientiousness, of which I do agree as I’m very organized and self-disciplined. I usually prepare daily schedules and follow them.
