Personality Dimensions


The first personality test I took was a personality dimensions quiz and it asked me to rank certain characteristics about myself anywhere between disagree strongly and agree strongly. My results decided how much I was like the Big 5 character traits (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to new experiences). I was surprised to get a 56 on a scale 1-100 in extraversion because I feel like I am more outgoing than that. I also did not realize that I am apparently very open to new experiences because I got a 90 out of 100 on that. I think the test is moderately valid, however so many more factors play in determining how similar you are to the "Big 5" character traits so I would not consider it completely accurate.
