Personality Traits

Below are estimates of gregorypark's placement on five broad personality traits, known as the Big Five in personality research:

Each personality dimension is described by a best estimate and a margin of error.

The best estimate is a single number (between 1 and 99) that describes how gregorypark compares to other people who answered the same questions. The higher the number, the higher gregorypark scored on this trait compared to other people on TraitLab.

The margin of error describes the reliability of the best estimate. A highly reliable estimate will have a small, narrow margin of error, while a less reliable estimate will have a bigger, wider margin of error. Estimates become more reliable by answering more questions.

Openness to Experience

Openness describes your interest and tolerance for new experiences, ideas, and feelings.

Very Low Low Average High Very High 88 Best estimate 74 96 Traditional Conventional Curious Imaginative

Based on your answers so far, our best estimate of your level of Openness puts you at the 88th percentile. In other words, you scored higher than 88%, or lower than 12%, of other people. This estimate will vary as you answer additional questions, and your true value is likely somewhere between the 74th and 96th percentiles.

You are higher than most people on the Openness to Experience dimension.

As a highly open person, you crave new experiences and enjoy learning about different points of view.

You are likely deeply curious about a wide range of topics, and you may occasionally get lost when diving into a new subject, hobby, or intellectual pursuit.

You may be eager to escape from familiar sights and routines, and you often defy conventional norms or ways of thinking.

In the world of ideas and feelings, you are adventurous. You are unusually sensitive and aware of your own emotions and patterns of thought. You feel a need to consistently expand your perspective and often reflect deeply on your past experiences.

You have a high tolerance for ambiguity and an appreciation for complexity. While some people prefer things to be merely black or white, you are very comfortable with shades of grey.

Conscientiousness describes your planning, impulsivity, and tendency to follow socially accepted norms and rules.

Very Low Low Average High Very High 98 Best estimate 94 99 Impulsive Spontaneous Organized Systematic

Based on your answers so far, our best estimate of your level of Conscientiousness puts you at the 98th percentile. In other words, you scored higher than 98%, or lower than 2%, of other people. This estimate will vary as you answer additional questions.

You are highly motivated to maintain warm, friendly relationships with other people. You avoid conflict as much as possible, and when conflict does arise, you immediately seek to reduce or resolve any interpersonal tension.

You strive to be helpful and cooperative, and people often see you as a team player. You are more likely to do what is best for the group, rather than only do what is best for you.

You are highly sensitive to the emotions of other people. You often try to see things from another person's perspective, and you consider their feelings before taking action. You readily take on the emotions of people close to you. For example, if your friend is sad, you feel sad, too.

16 Personality Typology

The 16 Personality typology groups people together according to their preferences in cognitive functions or attitudes:

  • Introversion-Extraversion
  • Sensing-Intuiting
  • Thinking-Feeling, and
  • Judging-Perceiving.

According to this typology, different personality types have distinct preferences across these four dimensions.

For each cognitive function, TraitLab estimates the relative strength of your preference towards one end of the spectrum.

For example, numbers close to the extremes (less than 10% or greater than 90%) indicate a very strong preference towards one end of the spectrum, while numbers closer to 50% indicate greater balance between opposing functions.

Thinking
Feeling

68%

Overview

The Enneagram is a popular framework that categorizes personalities into nine interrelated types.

According to this model, each Enneagram type has characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving.

Based on your answers to the previous questions, TraitLab has estimated which of the Enneagram types is most similar to you. TraitLab's best estimate is:

Type 5
The Investigator
62% similarity

Like all typologies, the Enneagram is an oversimplification, and nobody falls neatly into a single type. Instead, most personalities are better described as a unique blend of several types.

Rather than label you with a single type, TraitLab calculates your similarity to every Enneagram type. Below, you can see which of the nine types is most similar to your personality, along with a similarity score (from 0% to 100%).

Wings

Two people classified as Type 5s may still have significant differences in their personalities.

Some Enneagram practitioners use the concept of wings to distinguish an individual's personality beyond a single type. Wings are subtypes, or secondary types, that describe differences within a primary type.

For example, while your primary type may be Type 5, you may also share some characteristics of one of Type 5's neighboring types: Type 4 (The Individualist) and Type 6 (The Loyalist).

If you are more similar to Type 4, then your wing subtype would be 5w4, or Type 5 with a 4 wing, also known as The Poet.

Or, you may be more similar to Type 6. In this case, your wing subtype would be 5w6, or Type 5 with a 6 wing, also known as The Technician.

Based on your type similarities, TraitLab estimates that the wing subtype that best describes you is:

Type 5w6
The Technician

For more on the underlying theory behind this typology, see this article about the Enneagram.

Interpersonal

Your interpersonal style describes your tendencies around interacting and communicating with others.

Assured Dominant Talkative Extraverted Warm Agreeable Unassuming Trusting Unassured Submissive Aloof Introverted Cold Aggressive Competitive Calculating Warmth Assertiveness

Your baseline interpersonal style can be described reasonably well by two dimensions: assertiveness and warmth.

Assertiveness describes your tendency to assert yourself, lead, and influence others in social situations. People higher on assertiveness are more likely to take charge, give direction, and exert their influence on others. In contrast, less assertive people tend to be reserved, observant, and less willing to direct others.

Warmth describes your tendency to empathize and put others' needs ahead of yours. People high on warmth are trusting, empathetic, and relatively more concerned about the well-being of others. People lower on warmth are more skeptical, distant, and less affected by the wants and needs of others.

Your blend of assertiveness and warmth often leads to the following interpersonal characteristics:

  • Compared to most people, you are trusting, gracious, and respectful.
  • In social settings, you are quick to conform to expectations, ask for guidance, and seek approval.
  • You naturally take the role of a loyal, reliable supporter, and your reserved nature encourages others to take the lead and provide guidance.
  • Occasionally, your tendency to defer your needs allows others to take advantage of you.
  • Some people with this style have difficulty pushing back and asserting their own needs.

Personality Wordcloud

Another way to describe personality is through a unique combination of descriptive words. While there are thousands of words for describing someone, some will be a much better description for you than others.

For example, based on your results, you might be described as particularly organized, neat, efficient, thorough, and considerate.

Below is a visualization of up to 100 words that roughly describe your personality.

While all of the words below describe your personality to some degree, some words are better descriptors than others.

The size of each word is determined by how closely the word describes your personality.

Bigger words describe prominent aspects of your personality, and smaller words describe less prominent aspects.

Career Interests

Career interests can have a strong influence how you feel while performing different types of work.

When your interests fit well with the day-to-day demands of a particular career, you are more likely to feel satisfied and engaged.
