Let me ask you a question. When last did you take a personality test? If you are like me and you have been out of school longer then you were actually in it, my guess is that the last time you actually took one of these tests is quite some time ago.<\/p>\n

Now you might be sitting there thinking something along the lines of \u201cBut why do I need to redo a personality test, my personality can’t change! Wrong! Although your personality is pretty stable, especially during adulthood, there are many situations that can cause a change to your personality. For example, a period of extreme stress can certainly cause a change, especially if over a prolonged period of time.<\/p>\n

Get to know yourself with a big 5 personality test.<\/h2>\n

The reason I bring this up is that I recently decided to do a quick test, and the results were quite revealing actually. I am not who I thought I was if that makes sense. However, after giving the results some careful though, I had to admit, that this is actually who I am now. I honestly feel like I understand myself a little bit better today then I did before the test. So if you have got 5 minutes to spare, I would like to give you an opportunity to get to know yourself a little better today!<\/p>\n

The big five personality traits.<\/h3>\n

Most contemporary psychologists agree that there are five basic personality traits. These are;<\/p>\n

1) Openness

\n5) Neuroticism<\/p>\n

I came across a very simple test to measure these traits, the only problem I had with the test was that the calculations after completing the test became quite tiresome. But don\u2019t worry I would never put you guys through that, so just for you, I have compiled a very quick Excel doc to analyze your Big Five Personality Traits. All you need to do is download the Excel Document below and follow the instructions. (The test takes only about 3-5 minutes) Ok, go do that quickly……………<\/p>\n

So under the questions, you will see a score next to each of the five personality traits. These scores should be somewhere between 0-40. 0 is obviously a low score and 40 is high and 15-25 would be the middle of the range neither high nor low. Please remember there are no good results or bad results, this is simply a reflection of your personality. Let’s discuss the various personality types and what each of the scores mean.<\/p>\n

1) Openness<\/h3>\n

People who scored high in this trait probably have a broad range of interests. They are curious and very eager to learn and experience new things.<\/p>\n
