My 5 Factor Profile
(LOL)

Extroversion:
I have medium extroversion. I'm not the life of the party, but I do show up for the party. Sometimes I'm full of energy and open to new social experiences. But I also need to hibernate and enjoy my "down time."
Conscientiousness:
I have medium conscientiousness. I'm generally good at balancing work and play. When I need to buckle down, I usually get tasks done. But I've been known to goof off when I can get away with it.
Agreeableness:
I have high agreeableness. I am easy to get along with, and value harmony highly. Helpful and generous, I am willing to compromise with almost anyone. I give people the benefit of the doubt and don't mind giving someone a second chance.
Neuroticism:
I have low neuroticism. I am very emotionally stable and mentally together. Only the greatest setbacks upset me, and I bounce back quickly. Overall, I am typically calm and relaxed - making others feel secure.
Openness to experience:
My openness to new experiences is high. In life, I tend to be an early adopter of all new things and ideas. I'll try almost anything interesting, and I'm constantly pushing my own limits. A great connoisseir of art and beauty, I can find the positive side of almost anything. The Five Factor Personality Test
