Personality Test...

I came across this personality test on Rochelle's blog...I took it and thought it would be fun to post the results here! Maybe I'll talk Jas into taking it as well...check it out for yourself at: http://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/
I think the only part that surprised me (although I believe I have been "labeled" like this in other tests I've taken) was with the "Openness to Experience/Intellect". I am always disappointed with terms like "narrow interests, uncreative". I definitely would put myself in categories like conventional & down-to-earth, but uncreative makes me kind of sad...if I felt like I had time, maybe I'd work on this!

Your Results

What aspects of personality does this tell me about?
There has been much research on how people describe others, and five major dimensions of human personality have been found. They are often referred to as the OCEAN model of personality, because of the acronym from the names of the five dimensions.
Openness to Experience/Intellect
High scorers tend to be original, creative, curious, complex; Low scorers tend to be conventional, down to earth, narrow interests, uncreative.
You are somewhat conventional. (Your percentile: 30)
