Apparently this
is what I'm like. Alegedly.
If you don't
agree, blame BBC - they made it.
| Extraversion
|
| Some
people like lots of stimulation; they want people around them,
activity and excitement, whilst others prefer to be able to
focus on things in a calm and quiet environment. Most people
prefer a blend of the two extremes although your answers suggest
that you have a preference for the quieter setting, preferring
the company of just one or two people to large crowds. This
may help you if you work in a quiet, ordered or solitary setting
but you may find things less comfortable than most if you are
constantly interrupted. |
| Confidence |
| Some
people make decisions very easily and tend not to worry about
them before or afterwards while, at the other extreme, some
people are so careful and cautious that the decisions never
get made! Taking a cautious approach can be a good thing (do
you want to fly with a pilot that is so free from worry and
concern that she never checks her controls and instruments and
doesn't bother to communicate with air-traffic control?) and
you seem to have described yourself as someone who does tend
to be quite cautious and careful. This can be very important
in detailed work or areas were mistakes can have a major cost
although you may find yourself avoiding risks and many cautious
people wish they were bolder. |
| Openness |
While
some people like experimenting with new things and ideas,
others prefer traditional methods and taking a very practical
approach to problems.
Your answers
suggest that you like to balance a willingness to try new
things with making sure you don't scrap an existing approach
that works just because it has been around for a while. Like
most people you may not enjoy constant change and uncertainty
or an environment where nothing develops from year to year,
but your preparedness to see the merits of new and old alike
can be helpful. |
| Agreeableness
|
Most
people want to be able to get on with others but to some it
is the most important thing in the world, whilst others are
quite happy to upset someone else if it means that things
get done.
Your answers
suggest that you are not prepared to put up with being messed
about with and are quite comfortable being direct with people,
even if this upsets them. You may therefore find it frustrating
working in an environment that is very polite and where upsetting
people makes it harder to get things done. |
| Conscientiousness |
Some
people like everything to be well planned, tidy and organised,
whilst others prefer to deal with things as they come up and
appear to work in absolute chaos.
Your answers
suggest that you don't like having things too structured or
being tied down and you can cope quite well without having
to have everything organised. This may make it hard to find
things at times or for colleagues to know where you are or
what you are doing, but you probably find coping with the
unexpected (the things your colleagues didn't plan for!) easier
than many. |
