Openness

Openness describes a person’s tendency to think in abstract, complex ways. High scorers tend to be

creative, adventurous, and intellectual. They enjoy playing with ideas and discovering novel experiences.

Low scorers tend to be practical, conventional, and focused on the concrete. They tend to avoid the

unknown and follow traditional ways.

Your Personality Trait Scores

Openness is strongly related to a person’s interest in art and culture. People who are high in openness tend

to enjoy the arts and seek out unusual, complex forms of self-expression. People who are low in openness

are often suspicious of the arts and prefer to focus on more practical pursuits.

Conscientiousness

Conscientiousness describes a person’s ability to exercise self-discipline and control in order to pursue their

goals. High scorers are organized and determined, and are able to forego immediate gratification for the

sake of long-term achievement. Low scorers are impulsive and easily sidetracked.

The concept of Conscientiousness focuses on a dilemma we all face: shall I do what feels good now, or

instead do what is less fun but will pay off in the future? Some people are more likely to choose fun in the

moment, and thus are low in Conscientiousness. Others are more likely to work doggedly toward their

goals, and thus are high in this trait.

Extraversion

Extraversion describes a person’s inclination to seek stimulation from the outside world, especially in the

form of attention from other people. Extraverts engage actively with others to earn friendship, admiration,

power, status, excitement, and romance. Introverts, on the other hand, conserve their energy, and do not

work as hard to earn these social rewards.

Extraversion seems to be related to the emotional payoff that a person gets from achieving a goal. While

everyone experiences victories in life, it seems that extroverts are especially thrilled by these victories,

especially when they earn the attention of others. Getting a promotion, finding a new romance, or winning

an award are all likely to bring an extrovert great joy. In contrast, introverts do not experience as much of a

“high” from social achievements. They tend to be more content with simple, quiet lives, and rarely seek

attention from others.

Agreeableness

Agreeableness describes a person’s tendency to put others’ needs ahead of their own, and to cooperate

rather than compete with others. People who are high in Agreeableness experience a great deal of empathy

and tend to get pleasure out of serving and taking care of others. They are usually trusting and forgiving.

People who are low in Agreeableness tend to experience less empathy and put their own concerns ahead of

others. Low scorers are often described as hostile, competitive, and antagonistic. They tend to have more

conflictual relationships and often fall out with people.

Neuroticism

https://www.truity.com/personality-test/212/result/13369042 3/11

Neuroticism describes a person’s tendency to experience negative emotions, including fear, sadness,

anxiety, guilt, and shame. While everyone experiences these emotions from time to time, some people are

more prone to them than others.

This trait can be thought of as an alarm system. People experience negative emotions as a sign that

something is wrong in the world. You may be in danger, so you feel fear. Or you may have done something

morally wrong, so you feel guilty. However, not everyone has the same reaction to a given situation. High

Neuroticism scorers are more likely to react to a situation with fear, anger, sadness, and the like. Low

Neuroticism scorers are more likely to brush off their misfortune and move on.

Now, we'll take a detailed look at each of your scores and how they compare with average scores for the

population. We'll see what your scores mean for your individual experiences, and how the latest scientific

research can help you to understand what your traits really mean.

Your Openness Score in Depth

Openness describes an individual’s tendency to think in complex, abstract ways. People who are high in

Openness are abstract thinkers, while people who are low in Openness are concrete thinkers.

YOUR SCORE

AVERAGE

As a person who is low in Openness, you are less likely than the average person to make connections and

associate unrelated ideas. You are practical and straightforward, and have little use for theories and

abstract ideas, preferring instead to dwell in the real world.

Because you are low in Openness, you probably have little interest in the arts or other cultural experiences

which do not have a practical purpose. You see little use in artistic endeavors which do not produce or

achieve anything in particular. While others may enjoy spending time simply considering a work of art, you

prefer to spend your time in pursuits that have a tangible payoff. In your leisure time, you are likely to enjoy

popular culture (sports, pop music, blockbuster movies) and useful hobbies (cooking, exercise, working on

homes or cars).

Your personality traits interact to create unique patterns of thought and behavior. In this section, you'll

learn how your traits work together to drive the way you interact with the world.

To describe your personality patterns, we use a circular graph called a circumplex. The circumplex is used by

psychologists to illustrate how two traits intersect to create more complex patterns of thought and

behavior. Each circumplex has four sections, with each section describing a typical pattern. The area of each

section shows how well that pattern describes you. A larger area indicates a better fit for that pattern.

Some circumplex graphs will show a clear preference for one pattern. Others will show a more even spread

over two or even three patterns. Where you have nearly equal scores for two or more patterns, you can

expect that both patterns may describe you equally well.

Core Pattern

This circumplex describes the essential role you take on in approaching the world. This role is a reflection of

your core values and motivations, as well as the way you think about things.

Your Personality Patterns

EMPATHIC IDEALIST

Uses insight and creativity to help others. Thinks about how the world could be a better and more beautiful

place.

PRACTICAL CARETAKER

Helps other people in practical, everyday ways. Uses established institutions to maintain stability and

security.

Now we'll look at how your personality traits express themselves in all areas of life, from your daily routine

to your relationships and your work life. Each section covers one key area and explains how your individual

traits influence your experiences in this aspect of life. 

Your Inner Life

Your personality governs the most fundamental things about you, including how you think, what you value,

and what motivates you. This section explores how your traits drive your internal life.

How does your mind work?

You are a concrete thinker who focuses on straightforward facts. You are good at noticing and remembering

details that you have observed. You are not particularly creative or imaginative in your thinking, preferring

to think about what is clear and observable in your environment. In making decisions, you rely on provable

facts and evidence. You focus on real life and first-hand experience, and you are occupied with thoughts of

practical action.

You are preoccupied with goal-setting and achievement and most of your thoughts revolve around planning

and completing tasks. You are a structured, orderly thinker, and rarely waste time on unproductive

daydreaming.

What do you value?

Your ideal world is a kind, equitable one, where people treat each other fairly and with compassion. You

value justice and mercy in equal measure, believing that people should be forgiven when it is reasonable to

do so. You do your best to make the world a better place, although you also work toward your own personal

achievements. You want to distinguish yourself, but you do not want to step on any toes to do so.

You value tradition and the security of established institutions. You are drawn to structures and

organizations with a strong, stable foundation. You like to do things in the same way that previous

generations have done them, benefitting from the wisdom of the past. You are wary of new ideas, feeling

that they are usually unnecessary and a waste of time. You feel that preserving the established way of life is

of primary importance.
