Which of the "Big Five" personality traits best represents you?

Extraversion

59% Openness, 13% Conscientiousness, 70% Extraversion, 33% Agreeableness and 46% Neuroticism!

Your strongest "Big Five" is Extraversion!

Extraversion, also called "extroversion," is characterized by positive emotions, surgency, and the tendency to seek out stimulation and the company of others. The trait is marked by pronounced engagement with the external world. Extraverts enjoy being with people, and are often perceived as full of energy. They tend to be enthusiastic, action-oriented individuals who are likely to say "Yes!" or "Let's go!" to opportunities for excitement. In groups they like to talk, assert themselves, and draw attention to themselves.

Introverts lack the exuberance, energy, and activity levels of extraverts. They tend to be quiet, low-key, deliberate, and less involved in the social world. Their lack of social involvement should not be interpreted as shyness or depression. Introverts simply need less stimulation than extraverts and more time alone.

Conscientiousness
62% Openness, 80% Conscientiousness, 30% Extraversion, 63% Agreeableness and 42% Neuroticism!

Your strongest "Big Five" is Conscientiousness!

Conscientiousness is a tendency to show self-discipline, act dutifully, and aim for achievement. The trait shows a preference for planned rather than spontaneous behaviour. It influences the way in which we control, regulate, and direct our impulses.

The benefits of high conscientiousness are obvious. Conscientious individuals avoid trouble and achieve high levels of success through purposeful planning and persistence. They are also positively regarded by others as intelligent and reliable. On the negative side, they can be compulsive perfectionists and workaholics.

Openness

72% Openness, 43% Conscientiousness, 60% Extraversion, 42% Agreeableness and 62% Neuroticism!

Your strongest "Big Five" is Openness!

Openness is a general appreciation for art, emotion, adventure, unusual ideas, imagination, curiosity, and variety of experience. This trait distinguishes imaginative people from down-to-earth, conventional people. People who are open to experience are intellectually curious, appreciative of art, and sensitive to beauty. They tend to be, compared to closed people, more creative and more aware of their feelings. They are more likely to hold unconventional beliefs.

People with low scores on openness tend to have more conventional, traditional interests. They prefer the plain, straightforward, and obvious over the complex, ambiguous, and subtle. They may regard the arts and sciences with suspicion, regarding these endeavors as abstruse or of no practical use. Closed people prefer familiarity over novelty. They are conservative and resistant to change.

Openness

67% Openness, 33% Conscientiousness, 59% Extraversion, 35% Agreeableness and 48% Neuroticism!

I'm really surprised about the extraversion being so high, and the agreeableness being so high. While I am withdrawn and spend a lot of time alone, several people who have gotten to know me say that I am very nice and easy to get along with. Switching those scores would make it seem about right.
