Big Five Personality Feedback Form

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is a measure of the Big Five dimensions of adult normal personality. This inventory does not address psychological problems or ills, but rather helps to describe how you tend to adapt to your world every day. A description of each dimension is provided below, followed by an interpretation of your scores within these dimensions. Raw scores are on a scale of 1 to 5.



Style Descriptions

Expressive Style refers to your desire for social interaction, your general level of physical energy, and your tendency to express positive emotions (e.g., joy and excitement).

Interpersonal Style refers to how you generally feel about others, how connected you feel to them, and how you act toward them. Your style can also indicate the level of intimacy that you prefer in relationships.

Work Style typifies your attitudes about dedication to activities at work, home, and in leisure. Your work style may also refer to how you approach challenges, what sort of plans you devise, and the focus you place on your responsibilities.

Emotional Style is the extent to which you typically experience and express negative emotions (e.g., stress, frustration, self-doubt).

Intellectual Style refers to the extent that you tend to embrace new ideas, activities, and approaches to art, science, and everyday life.



Your Styles

Expressive Style 1.90
(Low) People who score similar to you in Expressive Style tend to value privacy and keep to themselves in social situations. You probably do not express unbridled enthusiasm very often, and would rather focus on more tranquil, mental pursuits than physical activities. You may consider yourself quiet and shy, and remain passive in social situations.

Interpersonal Style 3.30
(Medium) People who score similar to you on Interpersonal Style tend to genuinely care about other people, and are generally cooperative and dependable in working for the group’s benefit. You may, however, at times pursue your own desires at the expense of another, only to later wonder why you were not more compassionate.

Work Style 4.20
(High) People who score similar to you on Work Style tend to value commitments and responsibility and take promises very seriously. You may prefer to preserve tradition and follow rules. You are probably organized, punctual, and reliable. Because you may consider yourself to be on top of things, it may be hard for you to delegate tasks and you may resist others’ proposed changes.

Emotional Style 3.40
(Medium) People who score similar to you on Emotional Style tend to be stable under stress but not without a more emotional side. You may either experience strong reactions but tend to control your expression when you’re around other people, or experience strong reactions infrequently so you tend to feel you’re justified when you do express your emotions. You may be moody, irritable, or tense at times, but probably keep your feelings in check most of the time.

Intellectual Style 5.00
(High) People who score similar to you on Intellectual Style tend to resist orders, and prefer to break new ground and challenge tradition at every turn. You may be creative, imaginative, and inquisitive about your world. You are probably willing to explore all sides of the most complicated and controversial issues, and may be most frustrated by the slow pace of change.
