Based on the big 5 personality questionnaire, I scored high on conscientious, and agreeable. I scored low on open to experiences, extraversion, and neuroticism. According to the outcome of the questionnaire, people who score high on openness to experience/intellect tend to be original, curious, and complete. People with low score tend to be conventional, down to earth, narrow interests, uncreative. I scored low on openness to experience, which in some ways is true based on my behavior and personality. I tend to follow conventional ways, but I disagree with the uncreative point and being close-minded. I normally find many ways of being creative in problem solving and coming up and trying new ideas. Under conscientiousness, people with high scores tend to be reliable, well-organized, self-disciplined, careful; and low scores tend to be disorganized, undependable, and negligent. I scored high on this topic, which I agree with because I am very well organized and can be relied upon.

Under extraversion, high scores tend to be sociable, friendly, fun loving, talkative and low scorers tend to be introverted, reserved, inhibited, quiet. I scored low on extraversion, and I believe it’s true because I am a very reserved person and I tend to observe a lot before I get comfortable with other individuals. I don’t necessarily tend to shy away from social situations, but I do tend to listen more and talk less. High scorers under Agreeableness tend to be good natured, sympathetic, forgiving, courteous, whereas low scorers tend to be critical, rude, harsh and callous. I scored high on agreeableness, which is true. I am courteous, supportive and good-natured to everyone. Under Neuroticism, high scorers tend to be nervous, high-strung, insecure and worrying; low scorers tend to be calm, relaxed, secure and hardy. I scored low on neuroticism, it is true that I remain calm even in tense situations. But for me, the level of nervousness depends on the stress level of the situation I am in. Based on the score I got on the personality questionnaire, I think it suits my current job. I currently work as
