The Big 5

I had never really heard of the “Big 5” in relation to personality. I found it interesting that our personality can be seperated into different categories. After today’s lecture I decided to see how my personality can be perceived by taking a quick online test. I agree to a certain extent with the outcome. I like to be organised and can get stressed at the thought of missing deadlines or forgetting to do work. I try to stay as positive as I can on a day to day basis so was happy to see that the Neuroticism score was one of the the lowest. I tend to come across quite shy around new people so am not surprised that my openness score is also low.This test can be found at: http://personality-testing.info/tests/BIG5.php
