Neuroticism: Stressful and frustrating situations can sometimes be upsetting to you, but you are often able to get over these feelings and cope with these situations. You are a calm person who is considered almost fearless by some. You rarely get angry and it takes a lot to make you angry. You very rarely feel depressed and are usually in a good frame of mind. You are sensitive about what others think of you. Your concern about rejection and ridicule cause you to feel shy and uncomfortable around others. You are easily embarrassed and often feel ashamed. Your fears that others will criticize or make fun of you are exaggerated and unrealistic, but your awkwardness and discomfort may make these fears a self-fulfilling prophecy. You feel strong cravings and urges that you have difficulty resisting. You tend to prefer short-term pleasures and rewards over long-term consequences. You are poised, confident, and clear-thinking when stressed.

Extraversion: You are sociable, outgoing, energetic, and lively. You prefer to be around people much of the time. You genuinely like other people and openly demonstrate positive feelings toward others. You make friends quickly and it is easy for you to form close, intimate relationships. You like crowds but sometimes feel overwhelmed by them. Sometimes you feel like you need some privacy and time for yourself. You are an active group participant but usually prefer to let someone else be the group leader. You lead a fast-paced and busy life. You move about quickly, energetically, and vigorously and are involved in many activities. You love bright lights and hustle and bustle. You are likely to take risks and seek thrills. You have a generally cheerful disposition.

Openness to Experience: Novelty, variety, and change spice up your life and make you a curious, imaginative, and creative person. You are a moderately imaginative person who enjoys a good balance between the real world and fantasy. You love beauty, both in art and in nature. Sometimes you become easily involved and absorbed in artistic and natural events. Generally you are not considered to be an emotional person, however you are aware of and in touch with your emotions. You are eager to try new activities, travel to foreign lands, and experience different things. You find familiarity and routine boring, and will take a new route home just because it is different. You enjoy a certain amount of debate or intellectual thought, but sometimes get bored with too much. Often you exhibit a readiness to challenge authority, convention, and traditional values. Sometimes you feel a certain degree of hostility toward rules and perhaps even enjoy ambiguity.

Agreeableness: People see you as tough, critical, and uncompromising and you have less concern with others' needs than with your own. You naturally assume that most people are fair, honest, and have good intentions. You believe that a certain amount of deception in social relationships is necessary. You are guarded in new relationships and less willing to openly reveal the whole truth about yourself. You will help others if they are in need. If people ask for too much of your time you feel that they are imposing on you. You do not enjoy confrontation, but you will stand up for yourself or push your point if you feel it is important. You feel superior to those around you and sometimes tend to be seen as arrogant by other people. You are mostly a compassionate person, however you prefer to make objective judgments when possible.

Conscientiousness: You are reasonably reliable, organized, and self-controlled. You are moderately confident that you can achieve the goals you set yourself. In general you tend to be disorganized and scattered. You sense of duty and obligation is average and although you are mostly responsible you can sometimes be unreliable. Mostly you work towards achieving your best, although in some areas you are content just to get the job done. You have strong will-power and are able to overcome your reluctance to begin tasks. You are able to stay on track despite distractions. You are not an overly cautious person. You will think about alternatives and consequences but make up your mind fairly quickly.

It's interesting, because I would never think of myself as extraverted in any way, but the short descriptions mostly sound vaguely rightish. I feel more shy and feel a MUCH greater need for alone time than that reflects, but yeah, generally true, I guess although, really, I don't think being busy and always on the go is a function of introversion/extraversion. It's a function of the fact that I'm a working mother of two who lives in a major urban center and who has an active set of interests - of COURSE I'm always busy! There's some not pretty stuff in there, too, and alas - all of it's true. :)) I am NOT the nicest person you'll ever meet but I think that I'm far from the least nice and so, you know, that is what it is. *shrug* Also, the bit about being disorganized and scattered is just dead wrong - I'm really not.

Mine said I was disorganized and scattered and sometimes unreliable too and that's so not true. I think it's because I answered that way because I FEEL scattered and disorganized a lot and never give myself credit for what I DO manage to accomplish.
