The five-factor model of personality - often referred to as the Big Five - has an impressive
body of research supporting that five basic personality dimensions underlie human behavior.
These five dimensions are defined as follows:
Extraversion. Someone who is sociable, talkative, and assertive. High scores indicate an
extravert; low scores indicate an introvert.
Agreeableness. Someone who is good-natured, cooperative, and trusting. This is a
measure of your propensity to defer to others. High scores indicate you value harmony; low
scores indicate you prefer having your say or way on issues.
Conscientiousness. Someone who is responsible, dependable, persistent, and
achievement oriented. High scores indicate that you pursue fewer goals in a purposeful way;
low scores indicate that you're more easily distracted, pursue many goals, and are more
hedonistic.
Emotional stability. Someone who is calm, enthusiastic, and secure. High scores indicate
positive emotional stability; low scores indicate negative emotional stability. Openness to
experience. Someone who is imaginative, artistically sensitive, and intellectual. High scores
indicate a wide range of interests and a fascination with novelty and innovation; low scores
indicate you're more conventional and find comfort in the familiar.
Your personality score was calculated as follows (with reverse scoring on those items
marked with an asterisk). Scores in each category will range from 3 to 15:

The most impressive evidence relates to the conscientiousness dimension. Studies show
that conscientiousness predicts job performance for all occupational groups. The
preponderance of evidence indicates that individuals who are dependable, reliable,
thorough, organized, able to plan, and persistent tend to have higher job performance in
most, if not all, occupations.
