[Reference: Self-Understanding & Introduction Using Self-Diagnostic Tools] The "Simplified Big Five Test" to Grasp Your True Personality in 5 Minutes
In current psychology, the "Big Five" is known as the most accurate personality test.
What is the Big Five?
The Big Five is a theory that divides human personality into five elements; specifically,
O: Openness = Strength of intellectual curiosity
C: Conscientiousness = Seriousness
E: Extraversion = Sociable and active
A: Agreeableness = Whether you are kind to others
N: Neuroticism = Susceptibility to anxiety and tension
It is judged by the high or low level of each of these tendencies.
Knowing your own type is useful for many things.
However, the drawback is that to grasp your accurate Big Five, you have to take a long test called the "NEO-PI-R".
I was wondering if there was something easier, and the simplified Big Five test proposed by Dr. John Johnson of Pennsylvania State University seemed good.
[Simplified Big Five Test]
For the simplified Big Five test, you just need to answer the following 10 questions.
Please rate each item on a 7-point scale from 1 (does not apply at all) to 7 (applies completely).
My personality was as follows.
A: Extraverted, enthusiastic => 7
B: Critical, prone to arguing => 2
C: High self-control, reliable => 6
D: Worrier, easily upset => 2
E: Open to new experiences and complex things => 7
F: Not very assertive, quiet => 1
G: High empathy, kind => 6
H: Easygoing, blunt => 2
I: Gentle, emotionally stable => 5
J: Stickler for form, low creativity => 3
The method for calculating your Big Five scores using the simplified Big Five test is as follows.
Openness = (8 - J score) + E score = (8 - 3) + 7 = 12
Conscientiousness = (8 - H score) + C score = (8 - 2) + 6 = 12
Extraversion = (8 - F score) + A score = (8 - 1) + 7 = 14
Agreeableness = (8 - B score) + G score = (8 - 2) + 6 = 12
Neuroticism = (8 - I score) + D score = (8 - 5) + 2 = 5
Once you know your numbers, compare them with the average values below.
Naturally, a higher value than the average means you have a stronger tendency in that area.
Openness: Male: 10.7, Female: 10.8 < 12
Conscientiousness: Male: 10.4, Female: 11 < 12
Extraversion: Male: 8.5, Female: 9.1 < 14
Agreeableness: Male: 10.1, Female: 10.6 < 12
Neuroticism: Male: 5.7, Female: 6.7 > 5
Finally, I will briefly list the tendencies for each of the Big Five.
Please use this when you want to roughly assess your personality.
High Openness: Highly creative, imaginative, and curious. Thinks deeply about things. Perceives things abstractly. Likes artistic things.
Low Openness: Prefers formal things. Perceives things concretely. Values tradition. Not good with new things.
High Conscientiousness: Serious and diligent. High concentration at work, values efficiency and planning.
Low Conscientiousness: Sloppy and not good at organizing. Easily distracted and impulsive.
High Extraversion: Talkative and active. Assertive. Sociable. Passionate.
Low Extraversion: Shy around people. Quiet. Bashful.
High Agreeableness: Selfless. Kind and compassionate. Open-minded. High empathy. Likes to be helpful to others.
Low Agreeableness: Critical. Likes to find fault in others and prone to arguments. Cold. Blunt.
High Neuroticism: Prone to anxiety and easily irritated. Easily shaken and has large emotional swings.
Low Neuroticism: Good at coping with stress, always calm and relaxed. Gentle.
That is about it.
Among these, conscientiousness is particularly highly regarded.
For example, it appears that high conscientiousness leads to higher business success rates, makes it harder to gain weight, makes one less prone to illness, and increases the career advancement rate of one's spouse.
I would like to grasp my own tendencies and enhance my advantageous traits (^^)
