The Big Test

Predictive Abilities of the Big Five Test on Academic Performance and Variance between Majors Natalie Rocca California State University, Fresno A subject of interest that seems to reoccur quite often in the history of psychology is the study of academic performance and how it varies between individuals. It is believed that on some level, our personality has a major impact on not only our success in school, but the major we choose as well. For example, those that are high in extraversion are likely to choose a major and career path that is quite different than someone who is high in introversion. Studies in the past attempted to measure something similar, but had been limited by the fact that most of these psychological studies’…

The big five personality test is an intriguing test to take and I feel it helped me understand what my personality can be, especially when it comes to social situations. Growing up I felt like the odd one out because I was not the talkative, outgoing, person everyone wanted me to. Working, and attending college has helped me understand who I am, along with growing up. The first trait I got results on, and I was a bit shocked at, was open-mindedness. I scored in the 58th percentile, which…

For the most part, the results of the Big Five personality test were similar to what I thought they would be and what other tests have said about my personality and included areas in which I desire to improve to become a better leader ("The Big Five Project - Personality Test"). I scored high in conscientious and neuroticism and low in agreeableness, extroversion, and openness to experience/intellect. Not surprising to me were the scores for conscientiousness and extroversion. The high score…

The Big five personality test evaluates five major personality traits. These traits are referred under the acronym ocean. The acronym stands for openness to experience/intellect, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. The test is very short and doesn’t go into great detail on each trait. Cause of the shorten length, the test validity is questionable. However, since the test is short it is fun to compare your scores to how you see yourself or how others view yourself.…

within my family and look forward to celebrations with them. But on a more complex level I value trust more than anything. I am a very trusting person and I often give people the benefit of the doubt but I also believe that once trust has ben broken it can never be repaired. I strive to be trust worthy and surround myself with people who have proven they are also trust worthy. I believe that this value is the reason why I scored in the 63 percentile on The Big Five Personality Test stating that…

Big five My results of the Big Five personality test show a 53% Openness to Experience, 3% on Conscientiousness, 4% on Extraversion, 22% on Agreeableness, and 76% on Neuroticism. I believe my openness to experience should be higher, I love trying new things and learning new things. This summer I travelled to Japan with a couple of my friends and tried a ton of new things. My 3% score on conscientiousness seems correct, I am unreliable and completely disorganized. 4% on extraversion seems…

The gym, it feels so natural, so free, like my new second home. My words when I went to the gym for the first time. I loved the gym. I wanted to be big and strong just like the people around. Yeah I didn’t fit in quite yet but how hard can it be? They all did it, so can I. So there I went, I started my first day at the gym. As many of you can see when you look at my arms that look like spaghetti noodles or my biceps looking like a bean my gym craze stopped after that first time. I lifted…

My first college assignment was to take a personality test online and write a paper about it. Even though I may not agree with the results, I will write about the information revealed. The Big Five Personality test scores these five areas of your personality: Openness to experience, conscientious, extraverted, agreeableness, and neuroticism The results of my test show I am low in openness to experience at 48%. With this being the result, it means that I should be practical,…

The results of my Big Five Personality Test revealed that I am relatively open to new experiences, well organized and reliable, remain calm even in tense situations, neither social or reserved, and neither extremely forgiving or irritable (Potter, 2011). The test gave me a deeper insight on my personality and reinforced what I already know about myself. I have always been creative and innovative, and continually seek learning opportunities. Yoder-Wise (2011) believes that an effective leader is…
