Part Two – A more in-depth look The facets that make up the five factors describe the distinctiveness and uniqueness of an individual in more detail. There are 6 facets for each factor. The scores and statements in this report are based on your pattern of responses to the Big Five Personality Test. These scores have been interpreted by a team of business psychologists. Resist reading ‘good’ or ‘bad’ into any of the scores or statements. Whether a person’s behaviour can be described as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ will depend on the situation. What may be described as an asset – say, strong assertiveness for example – in one situation may prove to be a liability in another situation. Even though our tendency to act in consistent patterns is strong we do not always respond the same way to all situations. Therefore, you may want to visualise yourself in several different situations that you normally face in your life. This might help to clarify any descriptions in this report. 4.1. Area measured: Openness to experience Visual summary: Openness to experience Openness to experience 81 The Facets that define Openness to experience Imagination 20 Artistic interests 80 Depth of emotions 90 Willingness to experiment 60 Intellectual curiosity 90 Tolerance for diversity 100 Openness to experience describes an individual’s pro-active seeking and appreciation of experience for its own sake. High scorers are imaginative and open-minded. They like to work in a challenging, changing environment. Low scorers like routine and prefer to be conventional. Openness is often perceived as healthier or more mature. However, both open and closed styles of thinking are useful in different environments. The intellectual style of the open person may serve a teacher or strategist well. However, research has shown that closed thinking is related to superior job performance in investigative work, sales and a number of service occupations. Your responses to the Big Five Personality Test indicate that… Your score for Openness to experience is 81 – which is in the high range. People who know you well – not just necessarily people who like you – are likely to describe you in one or more of the following ways: Imaginative – open minded – experimental – creative – willing to consider new ideas – curious – willing to change – willing to challenge tradition – sensitive to feelings – doesn’t like routine – doesn’t particularly like ‘making small-talk’ – unconventional. The following facet scores will not necessarily always be within the same score range as the factor score. Sometimes they can be very different. These differences are a reflection of your unique personality. Differences can also help you more precisely identify strengths, limitations, coaching and monitoring needs. Describing a low range scoring person… Percentile (range) Describing a high range scoring person… Imagination Practical – matter-of-fact 20% (Low) Inventive – original – imaginative – creative Artistic interests Not interested in art and beauty 80% (High) Appreciates art, music & poetry – artistic – stylish Depth of emotions Disregards feelings & emotions – controlled 90% (High) Experiences deep & varied emotions – responsive Willingness to experiment Prefers the tried & true – narrow range of behaviour – predictable 60% (Middle) Likes to try new & varied activities – versatile Intellectual curiosity Limited curiosity – narrowly focused 90% (High) Intellectually curious – has many interests – open-minded Tolerance for diversity Conservative – dogmatic – conventional – tradition bound 100% (Very high) Ready to re-examine principles To obtain a more precise description and understanding of your behaviour in this area you will need to study your following scores for the 6 facets of personality that relate to the factor of Openness to experience. Note: Your facet scores will not necessarily always be within the same score range as your factor score. Sometimes they can be very different. These differences are a reflection of your unique personality. Differences can also help you maximise the impact of your strengths and minimise the impact of your limitations. Facets of Openness to experience Imagination To imaginative individuals the real world is often too plain and ordinary. High scorers for this facet use fantasy, not as an escape, but as a way of creating for themselves, a more richer and interesting inner-world. Low scorers are more likely to relate to facts than to fantasise. They are more ‘matter-of-fact’ and prefer to keep their minds on the task at hand. You scored 20 which is in the low range. Artistic interests High scorers in this area love beauty, both in art and in nature. They become easily involved and absorbed in artistic and natural events. They are not necessarily artistically trained nor talented, although many will be. The defining features of this facet are interest in and appreciation of natural and artificial beauty. Low scorers lack aesthetic sensitivity and interest in the arts. You scored 80 which is in the high range. Depth of emotions & feelings People who score high for this facet have good access to and awareness of their own feelings. Low scorers are less aware of their feelings and tend not to express their emotions openly. You scored 90 which is in the high range. Willingness to experiment High scorers are eager to try new activities, travel to foreign lands and experience different things. They find familiarity and routine boring. Low scorers tend to feel uncomfortable with change and prefer familiar routines. You scored 60 which is in the middle range. Intellectual curiosity High scorers for Intellectual curiosity love to play with ideas. They are open-minded to new and unusual ideas and like to debate intellectual issues. They enjoy intellectual problems, puzzles and brain teasers. Low scorers prefer dealing with either people or things rather than ideas. They regard intellectual exercises as a waste of time. Intellectual curiosity should not be equated with intelligence. Intellectual curiosity is an intellectual style, not an intellectual ability. However, high scorers on Intellectual curiosity do tend to score slightly higher than low scorers on standardised intelligence tests. You scored 90 which is in the high range. Tolerance for diversity Tolerance for diversity refers to a readiness to challenge authority, convention and traditional values. In its most extreme form, it can even represent outright hostility toward rules, sympathy for law-breakers and a love of ambiguity, chaos and disorder. People who score low in this area tend to accept authority and prefer the security and stability brought by conformity to tradition. They are generally conservative in their outlook to life. You scored 100 which is in the very high range. 4.2. Area measured: Conscientiousness (Work ethic) Visual summary: Conscientiousness Conscientiousness 81 The Facets that define Conscientiousness Sense of competence 90 Orderliness 20 Sense of responsibility 90 Achievement striving 80 Self-discipline 90 Deliberateness 90 Conscientiousness describes how organised, motivated and thorough an individual is in life and in pursuing goals. High scorers are methodical, self-motivated and well organised. Low scorers are easy going, less focused and less inclined to make plans. 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. Furthermore, extremely conscientious individuals might be regarded as stuffy and boring. People lacking in conscientiousness may be criticised for their unreliability, lack of ambition and failure to stay within the lines, but they will experience many short-lived pleasures and they will never be called stuffy. Your responses to the Big Five Personality Test indicate that… Your score for Conscientiousness is 81 – which is in the high range. People who know you well – not just necessarily people who like you – are likely to describe you in one or more of the following ways: Hard working – careful – reliable – self-confident – principled – achievement oriented – industrious – determined.

Facets of Conscientiousness Sense of competence Sense of Competence describes confidence in one’s ability to accomplish things. High scorers believe they have the intelligence (common sense), drive and self-control necessary for achieving success.

They are more casual in their approach to life and may be somewhat unreliable or even irresponsible. You scored 90 which is in the high range. Achievement-striving Individuals who score high in this area strive hard to achieve excellence. Their drive to be recognised as successful keeps them on track as they work hard to achieve their goals. They have high aspiration levels and a strong sense of direction in life. However, extremely high scorers may be too single-minded and obsessed with their work – they may become workaholics. Low scorers do not have a high drive to succeed, they tend to be content to get by with a minimal amount of effort and work. Although they may lack the need to succeed, they are often perfectly happy with their level of achievement. You scored 80 which is in the high range. Self-discipline Self-discipline, called ‘will-power’ by many people, refers to the ability to persist at difficult or unpleasant tasks until they are completed. People who possess high self-discipline are able to overcome reluctance to begin tasks and stay on track despite distractions. They have a high degree of self-motivation to get the job done. Those with low self-discipline procrastinate, are easily discouraged and show relatively poor follow-through. They frequently fail to complete tasks – even tasks that they really want to complete.

Facets of Extraversion Warmth High scorers genuinely like other people and openly demonstrate positive feelings towards others. They make friends quickly and it is easy for them to form close, intimate relationships. Low scorers are not necessarily cold and hostile, but they do not reach out to others and they are more reserved and formal. You scored 60 which is in the middle range. Gregariousness Gregarious people find the company of others pleasantly stimulating and rewarding. They enjoy the excitement of crowds. Low scorers tend to feel overwhelmed by large crowds and gatherings. Consequently they are likely to avoid putting themselves in such situations. They do not necessarily dislike being with people sometimes, however, their need for privacy and time to themselves is much greater than for individuals who score high for this facet. You scored 20 which is in the low range. Assertiveness High scorers for Assertiveness like to speak out, take charge and direct the activities of others. They tend to be leaders in groups. Low scorers tend to keep in the background letting others take control. They are likely to be less talkative and less outgoing than people who score high for this area.

Area measured: Agreeableness Visual summary: Agreeableness Agreeableness 85 The Facets that define Agreeableness Trust in others 60 Sincerity 90 Altruism 90 Compliance 90 Modesty 40 Sympathy 90 Agreeableness describes a person’s attitudes towards other people. High scorers are compassionate, frank and co-operative. Agreeable people have an optimistic view of human nature. They believe people are basically honest, decent and trustworthy. Low scorers are emotionally tough and generally unconcerned about other people. They are independent, self-reliant and competitive. Sometimes their scepticism about others’ motives causes them to be suspicious, unfriendly and un-cooperative. Agreeableness is obviously advantageous for attaining and maintaining popularity. Agreeable people are better liked than disagreeable people. On the other hand, agreeableness is not useful in situations that require tough or absolute objective decisions. Low scorers can make excellent scientists, critics, or members of the armed forces. Your responses to the Big Five Personality Test indicate that… Your score for Agreeableness is 85 – which is in the high range. People who know you well – not just necessarily people who like you – are likely to describe you in one or more of the following ways: Compassionate – agreeable – candid – unselfish – conciliatory – gentle.

Note: Your facet scores will not necessarily always be within the same score range as your factor score. Sometimes they can be very different. These differences are a reflection of your unique personality. Differences can also help you maximise the impact of your strengths and minimise the impact of your limitations. Facets of Agreeableness Trust People who score high in this area fundamentally assume that most people are fair, honest and have good intentions. They take people at face value and they are willing to forgive and forget. People who score low for this facet tend to be rather sceptical and distrust other people’s intentions. They have a tendency to assume that others might be attempting to deceive them or be devious. You scored 60 which is in the middle range. Sincerity High scorers for this facet see no need for pretence or manipulation when dealing with others and are therefore candid, frank and genuine. Low scorers believe that a certain amount of deception of not telling ‘the whole truth’ in business and social relationships is acceptable, even a necessity. People find it relatively easy to relate to the straightforward high-scorers for Sincerity. They generally find it more difficult to relate to the low-scorers. It should be made clear that low scorers are not unprincipled or immoral – they are simply less inclined to express their true opinions and feelings. You scored 90 which is in the high range. Altruism Altruistic people find helping other people genuinely rewarding. Consequently, they are usually willing to assist those who are in need. Altruistic people find that doing things for others is a form of self-fulfilment rather than self-sacrifice. Low scorers do not particularly like helping those in need or getting involved in other people’s problems. Requests for help feel like an imposition rather than an opportunity for self-fulfilment. You scored 90 which is in the high range. Compliance Individuals who score high for Compliance dislike confrontations. They are perfectly willing to compromise or to deny their own needs in order to get along with others. Those who score low would much rather prefer to compete than co-operate. They are outspoken and not inhibited about expressing their anger easily. They may intimidate others in order to get their own way. You scored 90 which is in the high range. Modesty High scorers are unassuming, rather self-effacing and humble. However it is important to understand that they are not necessarily lacking in self-confidence or self-esteem. Low scorers believe they are superior to other people. They may tend to be rather arrogant and perceived by others to be conceited. You scored 40 which is in the middle range. Sympathy People who score high for this area are tender-hearted and compassionate. They feel the pain of others vicariously and are easily moved to pity. Low scorers are not affected strongly by human suffering. They pride themselves on making objective judgments based on reason. They are more concerned with truth and impartial justice than with mercy. You scored 90 which is in the high range. 4.5. Area measured: Natural reactions Visual summary: Natural reactions Natural reactions 72 The Facets that define Natural reactions Anxiety 90 Angry hostility 30 Moodiness/Contentment 70 Self-consciousness 90 Self-indulgence 50 Sensitivity to stress 80 Natural reactions measures the different ways people have of reacting emotionally to the pressures and stresses of everyday life. Individuals who score low in Natural reactions are emotionally resilient and are not easily upset. They tend to be calm, relaxed and rarely experience negative feelings. They cope well under pressure. People who score in the high ranges have strong, overly-sensitive and emotional natural reactions. They respond emotionally to events that do not affect a lot of people and their reactions tend to be more intense. They are more likely to interpret ordinary situations as threatening and minor frustrations as ‘big problems’. These strong ‘natural reactions’ can diminish a person’s ability to think clearly, make decisions and cope effectively with stress. Your responses to the Big Five Personality Test indicate that… Your score for Natural Reactions is 72 – which is in the high range. People who know you well – not just necessarily people who like you – are likely to describe you in one or more of the following ways: Easily provoked – a worrier – not very confident – emotional – easily discouraged – ‘up-tight’ – sensitive. The following facet scores will not necessarily always be within the same score range as the factor score. Sometimes they can be very different. These differences are a reflection of your unique personality. Differences can also help you more precisely identify strengths, limitations, coaching and monitoring needs. Describing a low range scoring person… Percentile (range) Describing a high range scoring person… Anxiety Calm – relaxed – carefree 90% (High) Worrying – apprehensive – tense Angry hostility Easygoing – patient – even tempered 30% (Low) Short-tempered – irritable – intense Moodiness/Contentment Contented – upbeat – hopeful 70% (Middle) Pessimistic – prone to be discontent Self-consciousness Socially confident – self-assured 90% (High) Inhibited – easily embarrassed – self-conscious – shy Self-indulgence Consistently stands firm – self-denying – resists temptation 50% (Middle) Easily tempted – self-indulgent Sensitivity to stress Thinks clearly in stressful situations – self-confident – poised – clear-thinking 80% (High) Panics easily – confused – dependent To obtain a more precise description and understanding of your behaviour in this area you will need to study your following scores for the 6 facets of personality that relate to the Factor of Natural reactions. Note: Your facet scores will not necessarily always be within the same score range as your factor score. Sometimes they can be very different. These differences are a reflection of your unique personality. Differences can also help you maximise the impact of your strengths and minimise the impact of your limitations. Facets of Natural Reactions Anxiety The ‘fight-or-flight’ system of the brain of anxious individuals is too easily and too often engaged. Therefore, people who score high in this area often feel like something unpleasant, threatening or dangerous is about to happen. They may be afraid of specific situations or just generally fearful. They often feel rather tense, jittery and nervous. People low in Anxiety are generally relaxed, calm and fearless. They tend not to worry about things that might go wrong. You scored 90 which is in the high range. Angry hostility This facet measures the tendency to feel angry. (Whether or not a person expresses annoyance and hostility depends on his or her level of Agreeableness.) People who score high for Angry hostility feel enraged when things do not go their way. They are easily provoked and overly sensitive about being treated fairly. They feel resentful and bitter when they think they are being cheated. Low scorers are much more easy going and less likely to be provoked. They do not get angry often or easily. You scored 30 which is in the low range. Moodiness/Contentment This facet measures normal differences in the way that people react to life’s ups and downs. People who score high in this area are prone to feeling sad, dejected, guilty and discouraged when faced with problems. They often lack energy and have difficulty initiating activities that may resolve their problems. People who score low in this area are less likely to experience these emotions. This doesn’t mean that they are necessarily more bubbly, cheerful and lighthearted people, (these are behaviours that are associated with Extraversion). You scored 70 which is in the middle range. Self-consciousness Self-conscious individuals are sensitive about what others think of them. Their concern about rejection and ridicule cause them to feel shy and uncomfortable around others. They are easily embarrassed. Their fears that others will criticise or make fun of them are exaggerated and unrealistic. However, their awkwardness and discomfort may make these fears a self-fulfilling prophecy. Low scorers, in contrast, do not suffer from the mistaken impression that everyone is watching and judging them. They do not necessarily have good social skills, they simply feel less nervous in social situations. You scored 90 which is in the high range. Self-Indulgence People who score in the high range for this facet feel strong cravings and urges that they have difficulty resisting – even though they know that they are likely to regret it later. They tend to be oriented toward short-term pleasures and rewards rather than long-term consequences. Low scorers do not experience strong, irresistible cravings and consequently do not find themselves tempted to over indulge. You scored 50 which is in the middle range. Sensitivity to Stress High scorers have difficulty in coping with stress. They tend to feel vulnerable. They experience panic, confusion or helplessness when under pressure and when facing emergency situations. Low scorers feel more capable, competent and clear-thinking in difficult situations or when under pressure. You scored 80 which is in the high range. | |
