The purpose of Five Factor Personality Test is to show the personality structure of a person by looking at the “building blocks of personality.” The “building blocks of personality” can be determined by “the Big Five,” or the five most commonly accepted factors or dimensions. These factors include extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness. This test is fundamentally expected to inform a person of how and what her or his personality is like compared to other testers, and according to society.
For the first factor, Neuroticism, I scored a 14, which is relatively low. As stated by the Five-Factor Model of Personality, this suggests that I am more emotionally stable and respond well to stressors. It also suggests

As stated by the Five-Factor Model of Personality, people who score high on openness are creative, flexible, curious and adventurous. However, people who score low tend to enjoy following routines, like predictability and structure and tend not to engage the imagination on a regular basis. So in conclusion, the Five-Factor Model of Personality suggest that I have a good balance of reality and imagination. I fully agree with how the score reflects me because I enjoy having my mind and senses activated, such as by viewing art, listening to new music, and reading literature. I crave novelty and variety in my life. However, I enjoy routines and structures as well. My beliefs typically match the status quo, and my choices in occupations and purchases tend to go along with the mainstream standards. For example, for the planning of a soap opera, that I am due to record soon, I a strayed from the classic ending of “the good girl gets the good guy,” and went with a scene where greed and vengeance will come out on top.

As stated by the Five-Factor Model of Personality, people who score high on agreeableness tend to believe that most people are trustworthy and honest, and they themselves tend to be trusting, cooperative, and friendly. However, people who score low have less empathy, are more aggressive, and are generally less concerned with others ' well-being. Therefore the Five-Factor Model of Personality, suggest that I have good intuition when it comes to me choosing who I should trust or not, and when to be friendly and respectful as well. I completely agree with how the score reflects me because I don’t trust easily unless someone has proven themselves worthy of my trust. However, I’m not distrusting of people at first, I get to know them better first before I decide if they are honest people or not. For example, when I started to become friends with Carrie, I didn’t jump to conclusions at the beginning, however, I didn’t confine to her any serious or very personal and confident information of mine. By doing so, I allowed Carrie to prove to me, through her own methods, that she could be trusted and become one of my closest

    I think out of all my results, agreeableness was the most accurate. I am a person who is really proud of what I do. I am skeptical about many things so when someone tells me news or interesting facts, I like to make sure that they are true. In addition, I feel like I can find a better or more efficient way of doing things even when following instructions seems to be easier. Conscientiousness was the only result I had some trouble fully agreeing with because I can be very well not organized, however, I try my best not to be careless.…

    For instance, you have a good opinion about yourself as an overall person, but you’re still able to recognize that you have flaws. When you are grounded in reality and have a healthy self-esteem, it means that you have a balanced, accurate view of who you are. It’s hard to have too much of a healthy self-esteem, but people often confuse boasting and feeling superior as a way of having too much self-esteem. In reality, this is more likely someone who has a low self-esteem and feels insecure. When you have a good self-esteem, you value yourself and feel secure and worthwhile.…

    Emotional stability is seen as someone who is relaxed, secure, and unworried. Emotional stability is a great personality trait that you could have in yourself. People who have emotional stability also tend to have a high self-esteem (Hill, 2015) which can be beneficial to the company when they are producing great results and getting the job done. Individuals who are emotional stable can maintain their composure, even under demanding circumstances, they have less anxiety and are more likely to go beyond the call of duty (Phipps, 2015).
