Introduction
This 50-question personality inventory describes five broad dimensions: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. Each dimension represents a range of tendencies rather than membership in a fixed personality type.
A person's behaviour can vary across situations. Being talkative with friends and reserved in a large meeting may both be part of the same person's experience. Concrete examples help explain what a general statement about sociability or organisation means for you.
The Personality Type Indicator groups preferences into a type, while the Big Five describes dimensions separately. Neither format is a ranking of personal worth. Comparing the language and structure of the two approaches is more useful than expecting one result to translate directly into the other.
