Yes, openness is more linked to playing with ideas and emotional experiences. I don't think introversion has anything to do with subness. And you'd specifically have to be high in cooperation, altruism and sympathy.

i hate these tests.
''I hate change'' How are you supposed to answer? I like good changes and dislike bad changes, it depends on the situation and the implications and concequences of those changes.
How am i supposed to answer? Neutral? That would make it my most used option on these tests.
>>
>>9081605

The big five has high level of correlations with actual personalities (and their implication). These questions are a bit unclear, yes, but I'd guess you'd answer neutral, since you'd be neutral to change, what you enjoy would be more like the amount of positive consequences or something.

Compared to the rest of us, that's surprisingly nice. Low neuroticism, high in openness and conscientiousness - which means you're probably smart and work moderately well - and high in extraversion and agreeableness, so people like to be around you, and you enjoy that. I'm pretty sure what you got was very good.

You don't want to talk to anyone, and no one wants to talk to you, and you're probably a bit more nervous than the average, while being open to some things, presumably intellectual pursuits since you're on /sci/.

I think a pattern could be drawn. Most /sci/ members are somewhat introverts, with medium to high openness (presumably, they have very high intellect) and surprisingly high neuroticism...

Your results look similar to mine. I did the 300q test but never bothered to save it.

Depressed yes but still see beauty in nature. Low self esteem and issues from being bullied.

I'm really hoping that I can get my conscientiousness up to the upper 90s by stopping procrastinating.
Life without suffering isn't worth living. The highs cannot exist without the lows.

I don't believe that anyone is intentionally malicious; rather, people separate the world into good an evil (always placing themselves in good). This allows people to do things that are reprehensible, but they believe they are fighting an enemy, and therefore it is good if evil is vanquished. You cannot view yourself as good, otherwise those who oppose you become an embodiment of evil. Too many people also have the category of good that only contains themselves, which means that the entire world is therefore fair game. The only way to avoid this is to not consider yourself as good, as then those who oppose you do not become evil.

it's supposed to be how anyone could be perceived as weak.
would you call someone "weak" to be derogatory or critical?
if so, then yes.
there are 300 questions because some of them are similar, but worded differently.
if you answer consistently along similarly interpreted questions, then it could be said you have a statistical disposition towards that character trait

You got like the perfect personality. Agreeable enough to be liked, but not enough to bend the knee and lie ; extravert enough to be able to put your ideas and work out there, while not exaggerating about your talents ; high in conscientiousness which means you'll get things done, and well, and high in openness which entails that the things you'll do are complex and requires a high level of intelligence. To top it all of, you're low in neuroticism which means you're prone to being happy. Great job anon.

The guy is a total doormat for fuck's sake. High agreeableness is the worst trait to have for those around you. Even high neuroticism is better. That way you're only a menace to yourself. But high agreeablness folks? Fuck those. The most annoying people in the world. Goodie-two-shoes who have to concern themselves with everyone. Also prone to communism and other forms of killing people because you love them types of lunacy.

>due to depression often bad thoughts and can be very cold to loved ones when I get the period where I feel nothing and even have to track calories and remind myself to eat

I think if someone else took the test for me I'd score very different though. I have a cirlce of very great friends and when I'm at the bar or club I don't have a hard time making friends even though I always feel like I should be somewhere else. I'm a student and in groups I ofen take the leadership because so many students are so fucking incompotent. I don't know if it's because I moved out already and have my own small "company" but I often feel like I'm surrounded by small children and it really angers me when someone doesn't try to do something by themrelves or try to better themselves. I also have a limited capacity of "social battery" to the point where I often leave parties early without telling anyone or throwing people out of my apartment

We're pretty similar it seems.

I'm definitely not as extroverted as this test says. Much of my high score comes from being a "busy" or "on the go" person, which I'm not.

I work vaguely in the field of business/organisational psychology, and it's bizarre how prevalent the Myers-Briggs test is. Business types will talk about it all the time, even though it's been widely discredited in academic psychology. I guess whoever owns the rights to it does a pretty good job at marketing it. The Big 5 test is the best we have and it's the one I use, but of course two people could score exactly the same on it and still be very different.

>>9091890

Curious, but what type of things do you look for in the sense of traits in people? Like you do hire people on the basis of big5? How do you use the big5 in your job?

>>9091934
Personally I'm not involved in any sort of psychometrics for hiring or promotions, but I'm pretty sure that sort of thing does happen. Organisational psychologists have been using bullshit like Myers-Briggs and NLP for years - they tend to be less academic than lots of other psychologists, because they're career-minded business types (out of all psychology careers, this is probably the most well-paid). Not sure if they've caught on to using Big 5 yet, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they'd use the questionnaire to hire people who are more extraverted and conscientious, for example.

My work is vaguely in the field of architectural psychology, and I'm researching and consulting on what types of workplaces are best suited for different people based on personality traits and a few other variables. It's a bit of a weird luxury role, but I have complete freedom to spend all day reading psychology papers, so I'm pretty happy with it.
>>
>>9091940
For instance, based on OP, what type of workplace would be good? And anything interesting with which the big5 test correlates?

>>9091934
Yeah, I'd guess you have honesty issues. And a lot of false results.
>>
>>9091932
Lmao, you're neurotic and otherwise useless.
>>
>>9091953
Based on the extremely low extraversion and extremely high neuroticism, it's almost certain that he'd suit a segregated workspace where he can focus on his work in peace. That assumes he's doing the type of work that can be done solo which isn't necessarily the case, but I'm guessing naturally he'd gravitate towards those sorts of jobs. This is just a working theory though, I've only just finished the literature review and haven't actually done my data collection yet. What we know from studies of introversion-extraversion in particular is that introverts have a higher natural level of psychophysiological stimulation than extraverts, and need less additional stimulation from the environment (e.g. noisy atmosphere, bright colours) to reach their optimal performance level.

I'm sure there are loads of interesting things with which different personality traits with, but unfortunately I've not really studied them (at least, not recently). I'd imagine there's a good summary on the Wikipedia page though.

That sounds like an interesting field of study. All I know from that (well, not all, but most) comes from Peterson, so I'm not sure if it's reliable source material or not. But from what you're saying, is that some jobs are most optimally done by introverts, and other by extroverts, as opposed to the ''popular'' knowledge where being an extrovert is just better?

>>
>>9092027
Most of the studies that looked at differences in introvert and extravert performance did so in the context of some experimental task in the presence or absence of additional background noise. There's pretty consistent evidence to suggest that extraverts prefer the background noise and perform better than the introverts when the noise is playing, whereas introverts prefer silence and perform better than the extraverts when it's silent. They're all pretty artificial experiments though, so you have to take it with a pinch of salt when applying findings to the real world.

On a more general level, I'd say that introverts are definitely more suited for some jobs and extraverts more suited for others. Introverts are more likely to be happy with periods of prolonged and intense solo study, which would likely bore extraverts. On the other hand, extraverts are more likely to perform highly in jobs that require lots of socialising, as this might make introverts more anxious. Play to your strengths right?

That said, one danger of categorising yourself as one or the other is the belief that these traits are permanently fixed and there's nothing you can do about it, e.g. "I'm an introvert so I'm always going to act like a sperge around pretty girls and it's not my fault". I don't think there's anything wrong with acknowledging that a variety of genetic and environmental factors have led to you having a specific personality that makes you more suited for some things and less suited for others, and that doesn't mean that you can't recognise the areas where you could improve on and work on them slowly. I'm an introvert and absolutely hate any social situations where I have to initiate things, but I recognise that this could be a problem in certain contexts, so I try to deal with it as best I can.

this was a lot more like a survey than a personality test, myers and briggs is leagues ahead of this trash
>>
>>9092768
It really depends on how you define difficult. The CS classes are conceptually easy but time consuming. The math classes are average on both accounts, as long as you don't fall behind. Together they can kick your ass if you don't stay on top of things. I would say expect 40-50 hours a week of actual work. This is all assuming you want to double major, not do a combined program. Overall, I have maintained a relationship (gone on regular dates, spent time together, etc), went dancing weekly, participated in clubs (math, dance), and done part time work (researching, tutoring, being a teacher's assistant), and did not feel too overwhelmed. As long as you stay on top of your work, none of it is too bad. Good luck.

Problem is, you'll most likely be forced into some sort of open-plan workspace if you ever work in business, which will be completely unsuitable for your style. That's where my research will hopefully come in, by encouraging employers to provide a wider range of workspaces so people can choose what works best for them. Hardly the most important research in the world, but hey, it pays well and lets me study psychology all day.

>>9092297
Myers-Briggs is pop-sci, the Big 5 model is the best model of personality we have and is based on decades of research, although it's (necessarily) reductivist
>>
>>9093603

Yeah, I already felt the unsuitability of many jobs. For complicated reasons, the field in which I studied offers no jobs that are not extremely social, and I can't do that, at all. It's destroying me. Even simple things like interviews are a lot for me, I can't withstand all the pressure and stress of constantly having to talk and deal with people. Especially when I have to show and explain my work to those people. It's annoying, and it doesn't work at all for me, which is why I was thinking of going in CS and math, or something, so I can find a more suitable work. But I don't know if I have the intelligence to do CS.
>>
>>9093847
Take heed of what I say in the third paragraph here >>9092081, and don't just think that because your personality is a certain way now then you'll be like that forever, or you can't change. It might be far more difficult to be in social situations for you than it is naturally for other people and that sucks, but there's not much you can do about that really. Whatever job you take it's almost certain that there will be at least SOME social component, so it's important to try to put yourself in those situations and learn from them each time. It might take a while before you feel confident acting in a more extraverted manner, but it'll be worth it in the long run.

Well, it'd be nice to be able to deal a bit better with people, and I have tried, but honestly I'm not sure it's getting any better. In some ways it's getting worse. And I understand that to some degree personality is malleable, but it's also not completely so ; I thought that introversion-extroversion was linked to how the brain was processing information?

The problem is not that my current potential jobs would require social interaction - although that's still a problem, if it's minimal and limited and predictable, then I could be alright - but that they would require a lot of it, and a lot of it which would be proactive similar to what a car salesman would do in his job. And I can't deal with that, I can barely answer questions satisfactorily when someone talks to me. Yes, I could get better, but in the meantime I feel as though I wouldn't be able to do my job correctly, and not one would really want to hire me, considering most other people already have those social skills, which I lack.

Probably, but everything you do is linked to your brain, it's the home of your consciousness after all. And it's constantly changing - every little bit of experience you have causes certain neural pathways to fire, and the more you use them, the more they strengthen. So although genetic predisposition and/or early experiences will definitely put you in a better/worse position than others, there's no reason why you can't improve the psychological traits you want to improve. Having a fixed mindset about this is your biggest impediment.

>the problem is not that my current potential jobs would require social interaction... but that they would require a lot of it

How much? How has an introvert found himself in a situation where he can only get hired in some sort of sales bullshit? I'd hate those sorts of jobs too, but there were enough alternatives for me. I worked as a barman for a couple of years which obviously involved a fair amount of socialising, but it wasn't too bad and it helped me get more comfortable in those sorts of situations. Like I say, the vast vast majority of jobs require a fair amount of socialising, even if it's just internally with colleagues, so these are useful skills to learn.
>>
>>9093990
>Having a fixed mindset about this is your biggest impediment.

Perhaps, but it's difficult to see the improvements, when I fall apart internally by too much socialization, after which I need a lot of time alone doing nothing or resting, which means I don't get to do the things I enjoy outside of work.

>How much? How has an introvert found himself in a situation where he can only get hired in some sort of sales bullshit?

Well, it's a long story, but my parents wanted me to study something, which I did, and I didn't like it, but since I don't like telling others how I think or feel normally, I never told them and just stuck to it. I was to shy to say I didn't want to study that, and wanted to switch programs. I also didn't have the prerequisites for other programs so I was kinda stuck regardless.

And the job would require dealing with clients all day long, and talking to them for around 1-2h each, under constant pressure and stress, and it would also require working in a team, with other people, and trying to explain and market your services to your clients or potential clients. Essentially, you have to be proactive in discussions with your clients, trying to figure out their interests, their needs, discuss those with them, explain to them what needs to be done, etc. and it takes hours and hours of talking and interacting everyday. I can't do that, obviously. It takes me everything I got to simply go to interviews and talk for 30 minutes. Also, it doesn't pay very well, and although the salary can eventually be good, it is dependent on being good at selling your services, which I'm not.
