a hard time saying “no” and your tendency to see the good in people may make you gullible at times.

Neuroticism: anxious, irritable, temperamental, moody

You scored moderately high on neuroticism (33 out of 50).

You’re likely to have a tendency to focus on the negative side of things, although you’d probably describe yourself as a realist.
