This report compares filhadedeus from the country Romania to average scores from 720,288 persons
of all genders, ages, and na onali es.. (The name used in this report is either a nickname chosen by
the person taking the test, or, if a valid nickname was not chosen, a random nickname generated by
the program.)

This report es mates the individual's level on each of the five broad personality domains of the Five-
Factor Model. The descrip on of each one of the five broad domains is followed by a more detailed
descrip on of personality according to the six subdomains that comprise each domain.

A note on terminology. Personality traits describe, rela ve to other people, the frequency or intensity
of a person's feelings, thoughts, or behaviors. Possession of a trait is therefore a ma er of degree.
We might describe two individuals as extraverts, but s ll see one as more extraverted than the other.
This report uses expressions such as "extravert" or "high in extraversion" to describe someone who is
likely to be seen by others as rela vely extraverted. The computer program that generates this report
classifies you as low, average, or high in a trait according to whether your score is approximately in
the lowest 30%, middle 40%, or highest 30% of scores obtained by people of your sex and roughly
your age. Your numerical scores are reported and graphed as percen le es mates. For example, a
score of "60" means that your level on that trait is es mated to be higher than 60% of persons of
your sex and age.

Please keep in mind that "low," "average," and "high" scores on a personality test are neither
absolutely good nor bad. A par cular level on any trait will probably be neutral or irrelevant for a
great many ac vites, be helpful for accomplishing some things, and detrimental for accomplishing
other things. As with any personality inventory, scores and descrip ons can only approximate an
individual's actual personality. High and low score descrip ons are usually accurate, but average
scores close to the low or high boundaries might misclassify you as only average. On each set of six
subdomain scales it is somewhat uncommon but certainly possible to score high in some of the
subdomains and low in the others. In such cases more a en on should be paid to the subdomain
scores than to the broad domain score. Ques ons about the accuracy of your results are best
resolved by showing your report to people who know you well.

John A. Johnson wrote descrip ons of the five domains and thirty subdomains. These descrip ons
are based on an extensive reading of the scien fic literature on personality measurement. Although
Dr. Johnson would like to be acknowledged as the author of these materials if they are reproduced,
he has placed them in the public domain.

Extraversion

Extraversion is marked by pronounced engagement with the external world. Extraverts enjoy being
with people, are full of energy, and o en experience posi ve emo ons. They tend to be enthusias c,
ac on-oriented, individuals who are likely to say "Yes!" or "Let's go!" to opportuni es for excitement.
In groups they like to talk, assert themselves, and draw a en on to themselves.

Introverts lack the exuberance, energy, and ac vity levels of extraverts. They tend to be quiet, low-
key, deliberate, and disengaged from the social world. Their lack of social involvement should not be
interpreted as shyness or depression; the introvert simply needs less s mula on than an extravert
and prefers to be alone. The independence and reserve of the introvert is some mes mistaken as
unfriendliness or arrogance. In reality, an introvert who scores high on the agreeableness dimension
will not seek others out but will be quite pleasant when approached.

Your score on Extraversion is average, indica ng you are neither a subdued loner nor a jovial

Extraversion Facets

 Friendliness. Friendly people genuinely like other people and openly demonstrate posi ve
feelings toward others. They make friends quickly and it is easy for them to form close,
in mate rela onships. Low scorers on Friendliness are not necessarily cold and hos le, but
they do not reach out to others and are perceived as distant and reserved. Your level of
friendliness is high.

 Gregariousness. Gregarious people find the company of others pleasantly s mula ng and
rewarding. They enjoy the excitement of crowds. Low scorers tend to feel overwhelmed by,
and therefore ac vely avoid, large crowds. They do not necessarily dislike being with people
some mes, but their need for privacy and me to themselves is much greater than for
individuals who score high on this scale. Your level of gregariousness is high.

 Asser veness. High scorers Asser veness like to speak out, take charge, and direct the
ac vi es of others. They tend to be leaders in groups. Low scorers tend not to talk much and
let others control the ac vi es of groups. Your level of asser veness is low.

 Ac vity Level. Ac ve individuals lead fast-paced, busy lives. They move about quickly,
energe cally, and vigorously, and they are involved in many ac vi es. People who score low
on this scale follow a slower and more leisurely, relaxed pace. Your ac vity level is average.
  Excitement-Seeking. High scorers on this scale are easily bored without high levels of
s mula on. They love bright lights and hustle and bustle. They are likely to take risks and
seek thrills. Low scorers are overwhelmed by noise and commo on and are adverse to thrill-
seeking. Your level of excitement-seeking is low.

 Cheerfulness. This scale measures posi ve mood and feelings, not nega ve emo ons (which
are a part of the Neuro cism domain). Persons who score high on this scale typically
experience a range of posi ve feelings, including happiness, enthusiasm, op mism, and joy.
Low scorers are not as prone to such energe c, high spirits. Your level of posi ve emo ons is
low.

Agreeableness

Agreeableness reflects individual differences in concern with coopera on and social harmony.
Agreeable individuals value ge ng along with others. They are therefore considerate, friendly,
generous, helpful, and willing to compromise their interests with others'. Agreeable people also have
an op mis c view of human nature. They believe people are basically honest, decent, and
trustworthy.

Disagreeable individuals place self-interest above ge ng along with others. They are generally
unconcerned with others' well-being, and therefore are unlikely to extend themselves for other
people. Some mes their skep cism about others' mo ves causes them to be suspicious, unfriendly,
and uncoopera ve.

Agreeableness is obviously advantageous for a aining and maintaining popularity. Agreeable people
are be er liked than disagreeable people. On the other hand, agreeableness is not useful in
situa ons that require tough or absolute objec ve decisions. Disagreeable people can make excellent
scien sts, cri cs, or soldiers.

Your level of Agreeableness is average, indica ng some concern with others' Needs, but, generally,
unwillingness to sacrifice yourself for others.

Agreeableness Facets
  Trust. A person with high trust assumes that most people are fair, honest, and have good
inten ons. Persons low in trust see others as selfish, devious, and poten ally dangerous.
Your level of trust is average.

 Morality. High scorers on this scale see no need for pretense or manipula on when dealing
with others and are therefore candid, frank, and sincere. Low scorers believe that a certain
amount of decep on in social rela onships is necessary. People find it rela vely easy to
relate to the straigh orward high-scorers on this scale. They generally find it more difficult to
relate to the unstraigh orward low-scorers on this scale. It should be made clear that low
scorers are not unprincipled or immoral; they are simply more guarded and less willing to
openly reveal the whole truth. Your level of morality is low.

 Altruism. Altruis c people find helping other people genuinely rewarding. Consequently,
they are generally willing to assist those who are in need. Altruis c people find that doing
things for others is a form of self-fulfillment rather than self-sacrifice. Low scorers on this
scale do not par cularly like helping those in need. Requests for help feel like an imposi on
rather than an opportunity for self-fulfillment. Your level of altruism is average.

 Coopera on. Individuals who score high on this scale dislike confronta ons. They are
perfectly willing to compromise or to deny their own needs in order to get along with others.
Those who score low on this scale are more likely to in midate others to get their way. Your
level of compliance is high.

 Modesty. High scorers on this scale do not like to claim that they are be er than other
people. In some cases this a tude may derive from low self-confidence or self-esteem.
Nonetheless, some people with high self-esteem find immodesty unseemly. Those
who are willing to describe themselves as superior tend to be seen as disagreeably arrogant
by other people. Your level of modesty is low.

 Sympathy. People who score high on this scale are tenderhearted and compassionate. They
feel the pain of others vicariously and are easily moved to pity. Low scorers are not affected
strongly by human suffering. They pride themselves on making objec ve judgments based
on reason. They are more concerned with truth and impar al jus ce than with mercy. Your
level of tender-mindedness is high.

Conscien ousness

Conscien ousness concerns the way in which we control, regulate, and direct our impulses. Impulses
are not inherently bad; occasionally me constraints require a snap decision, and ac ng on our first
impulse can be an effec ve response. Also, in mes of play rather than work, ac ng spontaneously
and impulsively can be fun. Impulsive individuals can be seen by others as colorful, fun-to-be-with,
and zany.

Nonetheless, ac ng on impulse can lead to trouble in a number of ways. Some impulses are
an social. Uncontrolled an social acts not only harm other members of society, but also can result in
retribu on toward the perpetrator of such impulsive acts. Another problem with impulsive acts is
that they o en produce immediate rewards but undesirable, long-term consequences. Examples
include excessive socializing that leads to being fired from one's job, hurling an insult that causes the
breakup of an important rela onship, or using pleasure-inducing drugs that eventually destroy one's
health.
Impulsive behavior, even when not seriously destruc ve, diminishes a person's effec veness in
significant ways. Ac ng impulsively disallows contempla ng alterna ve courses of ac on, some of
which would have been wiser than the impulsive choice. Impulsivity also sidetracks people during
projects that require organized sequences of steps or stages. Accomplishments of an impulsive
person are therefore small, sca ered, and inconsistent.

A hallmark of intelligence, what poten ally separates human beings from earlier life forms, is the
ability to think about future consequences before ac ng on an impulse. Intelligent ac vity involves
contempla on of long-range goals, organizing and planning routes to these goals, and persis ng
toward one's goals in the face of short-lived impulses to the contrary. The idea that intelligence
involves impulse control is nicely captured by the term prudence, an alterna ve label for the
Conscien ousness domain. Prudent means both wise and cau ous. Persons who score high on the
Conscien ousness scale are, in fact, perceived by others as intelligent.

The benefits of high conscien ousness are obvious. Conscien ous individuals avoid trouble and
achieve high levels of success through purposeful planning and persistence. They are also posi vely
regarded by others as intelligent and reliable. On the nega ve side, they can be compulsive
perfec onists and workaholics. Furthermore, extremely conscien ous individuals might be regarded
as stuffy and boring. Unconscien ous people may be cri cized for their unreliability, lack of ambi on,
and failure to stay within the lines, but they will experience many short-lived pleasures and they will
never be called stuffy.

Your score on Conscien ousness is high. This means you set clear goals and pursue them with

Conscien ousness Facets

 Self-Efficacy. Self-Efficacy describes confidence in one's ability to accomplish things. High

scorers believe they have the intelligence (common sense), drive, and self-control necessary
for achieving success. Low scorers do not feel effec ve, and may have a sense that they are
not in control of their lives. Your level of self-efficacy is high.
  Orderliness. Persons with high scores on orderliness are well-organized. They like to live
according to rou nes and schedules. They keep lists and make plans. Low scorers tend to be
disorganized and sca ered. Your level of orderliness is high.

 Du fulness. This scale reflects the strength of a person's sense of duty and obliga on. Those
who score high on this scale have a strong sense of moral obliga on. Low scorers find
contracts, rules, and regula ons overly confining. They are likely to be seen as unreliable or
even irresponsible. Your level of du fulness is average.

 Achievement-Striving. Individuals who score high on this scale strive hard to achieve
excellence. Their drive to be recognized as successful keeps them on track toward their lo y
goals. They o en have a strong sense of direc on in life, but extremely high scores may be
too single-minded and obsessed with their work. Low scorers are content to get by with a
minimal amount of work, and might be seen by others as lazy. Your level of achievement
striving is high.

 Self-Discipline. Self-discipline-what many people call will-power-refers to the ability to persist

at difficult or unpleasant tasks un l they are completed. People who possess high self-
discipline are able to overcome reluctance to begin tasks and stay on track despite
distrac ons. Those with low self-discipline procras nate and show poor follow-through,
o en failing to complete tasks-even tasks they want very much to complete. Your level of
self-discipline is high.

 Cau ousness. Cau ousness describes the disposi on to think through possibili es before
ac ng. High scorers on the Cau ousness scale take their me when making decisions. Low
scorers o en say or do first thing that comes to mind without delibera ng alterna ves and
the probable consequences of those alterna ves. Your level of cau ousness is high.

Neuro cism

Freud originally used the term neurosis to describe a condi on marked by mental distress, emo onal
suffering, and an inability to cope effec vely with the normal demands of life. He suggested that
everyone shows some signs of neurosis, but that we differ in our degree of suffering and our specific
symptoms of distress. Today neuro cism refers to the tendency to experience nega ve feelings.
Those who score high on Neuro cism may experience primarily one specific nega ve feeling such as
anxiety, anger, or depression, but are likely to experience several of these emo ons. People high in
neuro cism are emo onally reac ve. They respond emo onally to events that would not affect most
people, and their reac ons tend to be more intense than normal. They are more likely to interpret
ordinary situa ons as threatening, and minor frustra ons as hopelessly difficult. Their nega ve
emo onal reac ons tend to persist for unusually long periods of me, which means they are o en in
a bad mood. These problems in emo onal regula on can diminish a neuro c's ability to think clearly,
make decisions, and cope effec vely with stress.

At the other end of the scale, individuals who score low in neuro cism are less easily upset and are
less emo onally reac ve. They tend to be calm, emo onally stable, and free from persistent nega ve
feelings. Freedom from nega ve feelings does not mean that low scorers experience a lot of posi ve
feelings; frequency of posi ve emo ons is a component of the Extraversion domain.

Your score on Neuro cism is average, indica ng that your level of emo onal reac vity is typical of
the general popula on. Stressful and frustra ng situa ons are somewhat upse ng to you, but you
are generally able to get over these feelings and cope with these situa ons.

Neuro cism Facets

 Anxiety. The "fight-or-flight" system of the brain of anxious individuals is too easily and too
o en engaged. Therefore, people who are high in anxiety o en feel like something
dangerous is about to happen. They may be afraid of specific situa ons or be just generally
fearful. They feel tense, ji ery, and nervous. Persons low in Anxiety are generally calm and
fearless. Your level of anxiety is high.

 Anger. Persons who score high in Anger feel enraged when things do not go their way. They
are sensi ve about being treated fairly and feel resen ul and bi er when they feel they are
being cheated. This scale measures the tendency to feel angry; whether or not the
person expresses annoyance and hos lity depends on the individual's level on
Agreeableness. Low scorers do not get angry o en or easily. Your level of anger is average.

 Depression. This scale measures the tendency to feel sad, dejected, and discouraged. High
scorers lack energy and have difficult ini a ng ac vi es. Low scorers tend to be free from
these depressive feelings. Your level of depression is high.

 Self-Consciousness. Self-conscious individuals are sensi ve about what others think of them.
Their concern about rejec on and ridicule cause them to feel shy and uncomfortable abound
others. They are easily embarrassed and o en feel ashamed. Their fears that others will
cri cize or make fun of them are exaggerated and unrealis c, but their awkwardness and
discomfort may make these fears a self-fulfilling prophecy. Low scorers, in contrast, do not
suffer from the mistaken impression that everyone is watching and judging them. They do
not feel nervous in social situa ons. Your level or self-consciousness is average.

 Immodera on. Immoderate individuals feel strong cravings and urges that they have have
difficulty resis ng. They tend to be oriented toward short-term pleasures and rewards rather
than long- term consequences. Low scorers do not experience strong, irresis ble cravings
and consequently do not find themselves tempted to overindulge. Your level of
immodera on is low.
  Vulnerability. High scorers on Vulnerability experience panic, confusion, and helplessness
when under pressure or stress. Low scorers feel more poised, confident, and clear-thinking
when stressed. Your level of vulnerability is high.

Openness to Experience

Openness to Experience describes a dimension of cogni ve style that dis nguishes imagina ve,
crea ve people from down-to-earth, conven onal people. Open people are intellectually curious,
apprecia ve of art, and sensi ve to beauty. They tend to be, compared to closed people, more aware
of their feelings. They tend to think and act in individualis c and nonconforming ways. Intellectuals
typically score high on Openness to Experience; consequently, this factor has also been
called Culture or Intellect. Nonetheless, Intellect is probably best regarded as one aspect of openness
to experience. Scores on Openness to Experience are only modestly related to years of educa on
and scores on standard intelligent tests.

Another characteris c of the open cogni ve style is a facility for thinking in symbols and abstrac ons
far removed from concrete experience. Depending on the individual's specific intellectual abili es,
this symbolic cogni on may take the form of mathema cal, logical, or geometric thinking, ar s c
and metaphorical use of language, music composi on or performance, or one of the many visual or
performing arts. People with low scores on openness to experience tend to have narrow, common
interests. They prefer the plain, straigh orward, and obvious over the complex, ambiguous, and
subtle. They may regard the arts and sciences with suspicion, regarding these endeavors as abstruse
or of no prac cal use. Closed people prefer familiarity over novelty; they are conserva ve and
resistant to change.

Openness is o en presented as healthier or more mature by psychologists, who are o en

themselves open to experience. However, open and closed styles of thinking are useful in different
environments. The intellectual style of the open person may serve a professor well, but research has
shown that closed thinking is related to superior job performance in police work, sales, and a
number of service occupa ons.

Openness Facets
 Imagina on. To imagina ve individuals, the real world is o en too plain and ordinary. High
scorers on this scale use fantasy as a way of crea ng a richer, more interes ng world. Low
scorers are on this scale are more oriented to facts than fantasy. Your level of imagina on is
high.

 Ar s c Interests. High scorers on this scale love beauty, both in art and in nature. They
become easily involved and absorbed in ar s c and natural events. They are not necessarily
ar s cally trained nor talented, although many will be. The defining features of this scale
are interest in, and apprecia on of natural and ar ficial beauty. Low scorers lack aesthe c
sensi vity and interest in the arts. Your level of ar s c interests is high.

 Emo onality. Persons high on Emo onality have good access to and awareness of their own
feelings. Low scorers are less aware of their feelings and tend not to express their emo ons
openly. Your level of emo onality is high.

 Adventurousness. High scorers on adventurousness are eager to try new ac vi es, travel to
foreign lands, and experience different things. They find familiarity and rou ne boring, and
will take a new route home just because it is different. Low scorers tend to feel
uncomfortable with change and prefer familiar rou nes. Your level of adventurousness is
low.

 Intellect. Intellect and ar s c interests are the two most important, central aspects of
openness to experience. High scorers on Intellect love to play with ideas. They are open-
minded to new and unusual ideas, and like to debate intellectual issues. They enjoy riddles,
puzzles, and brain teasers. Low scorers on Intellect prefer dealing with either people or
things rather than ideas. They regard intellectual exercises as a waste of me. Intellect
should not be equated with intelligence. Intellect is an intellectual style, not an intellectual
ability, although high scorers on Intellect score slightly higher than low-Intellect individuals
on standardized intelligence tests. Your level of intellect is average.

 Liberalism. Psychological liberalism refers to a readiness to challenge authority, conven on,

and tradi onal values. In its most extreme form, psychological liberalism can even represent
outright hos lity toward rules, sympathy for law-breakers, and love of ambiguity, chaos, and
disorder. Psychological conserva ves prefer the security and stability brought by conformity
to tradi on. Psychological liberalism and conserva sm are not iden cal to poli cal affilia on,
but certainly incline individuals toward certain poli cal par es. Your level of liberalism is
high.
