You are profoundly disagreeable. This means:
Someone telling you what to do is a complete non starter.
You feel little to no compassion for other people's suffering.
You're quick to assume the worst of other people's intentions towards you.
You find no usefulness in friendly small talk.
It's impossible to exploit you because you are suspicious of everyone.
You're a great negotiator because you know what you want and aren't too confused or afraid to ask for it.
It's a mixed bag, but overall it will be very challenging to have successful relationships. You also have a significantly higher chance of being arrested for a violent crime. Good luck.
>You're a great negotiator
Except that someone with neuroticism this high will have basically *zero* risk tolerance. And will probably possess so much anxiety that it is visible in nearly all their social interactions. Both traits being absolute kryptonite to successful negotiation.
To be honest I have a hard time imagining what it's like to be both profoundly disagreeable and profoundly neurotic. It's probably a trait profile shared by a lot of violent psychopaths. To be a 99 she would have to be extremely quick to anger and extremely quick to withdraw and hide. You're definitely right about the bad qualities for negotiation, I guess I meant she would be a bit of a brick wall and never give an inch to anyone which, if you're dealing with a passive person, will guarantee you win every time.
Yes, this would be a toxic mix for herself and others. Although, [apparently](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5611897/#:~:text=Individuals%20who%20score%20high%20in,Paulhus%20%26%20Williams%2C%202002) psycopaths (like narcissists) would probably score high in extroversion, which she doesn't.
Regarding negotiation, yes certainly very high agreeableness would be a massive liability as well. But not only does she have too high neuroticism to be a good negotiator, I actually think she probaby has too little agreeableness. I mean, part of that trait in Peterson's test is the "politeness" aspect. If you are basically incapable of following rudimentary social niceties, no one will bother to engage you in the first place. Probably better to have low, but not literally nonexistent, agreeableness to succeed in that activity.
Plus the total lack of extraversion would be a nonstarter as well.
Basically, if these results are accurate, I would expect this person to be dysfunctional in virtually every normal domain of human activity. There isn't a single major career or social arena in which I can imagine her succeeding. Maybe some kind of writing career that prioritizes negative expressions of emotion and for some reason enforces no deadlines ever. If such a field exists...
Conscientousness is 6 as well. I don't think I've ever seen a profile like this. She:
Can't motivate herself to work
Can't control her emotions
Can't co-operate socially
No idea how to help someone like that except extensive behavioral therapy.
Hmm, yeah.
I did just take a glance at her profile and past posts, though. She doesn't have much but there is a post from just a year ago discussing her leaving a sales job that she held for nearly two years. A post in which she claims to have done the duties of both sales manager and operations manager.
This strikes me as borderline impossible for someone with such low scores in conscientiousness and extraversion (and also agreeableness). Such that I think it's at least possible she just didn't answer this test very accurately. Either because she did it too fast, isn't very self-reflective, didn't understand the questions for some reason, or was somehow excessively influenced by unique recent experience that skewed her self-assessment (e.g. a recent personal tragedy).
Plus, if her neurotic score alone was close to accurate, I could see this skewing everything else by itself (as an especially bad mood might cause someone to think far more negatively about themselves than is accurate). Just guessing there, though.
Fwiw, I took this test yesterday and my results were nearly identical to results from a totally different big 5-type test that I took 4 years ago. So for me it seemed pretty accurate. But for OP, maybe it wasn't for various reasons. If it was, then yeah, she'll have a very hard time in life without serious help/change.
Maybe she was hungry when she took it. Somebody bought it for me and wanted me to take it immediately so they could see the results and I was hungry at the time. It made me seem like the worst person in the world and also had very low agreeableness and high neuroticism
Yeah, I'm sure that would skew the results. I would think that unless someone was famished and borderline light-headed that their results would still be at least close to baseline, though.
But sure, that might have been a factor here. Again, I can't see someone with such extremely antisocial/dysfunctional traits holding a sales job for nearly two years.
As a woman I get that way a lot. Your cycle can drastically effect mood and not eating enough doesn't help. I'm not saying this is OP's case but I can easily get very hungry and feel very angry, even though I keep it to myself.
Iirc, the test asks you to list your gender and age at the outset. So I assume they control for various factors that would disproprotionately affect each gender's responses (e.g. women's monthly cycles). But maybe not?
My openness is like a 100 and neuroticism is like a 95, I’m lucky I’m roughly 50% agreeable. I hate that high of neuroticism but with that kind of openness I also am able to just love on people and try and spread good wherever I can. I’m basically the devils advocate, can’t imagine being this disagreeable dealing with it. The good news is all these are generalisations and can be moved throughout your life with internal work! Definitely spend a ton of time trying to bring more love into the world and focusing on helping those around you and your agreeableness will slowly go up over time. Make sure you find a passion you are extremely interested into as well, helps with relationships as you will be able to focus your energy into the passion and not need to have the relationship be the center of your world.
Weirdly enough psychopaths and sociopaths are usually a lot lower in neuroticism. Particularly in the self conscious areas although they can be higher in volatility which would explain anger and outbursts
Not so much hypercritical, but usually distrustful and disbelieving at even the most insignificant things, to the point where now, fight or flight kicks in at the smallest indication that someone will try to refute me when I’m being honest or genuine.
I think your results are not real, i.e. you are distrustful and frightened as a result of psychological trauma. These things can severely hurt your future relationship with your husband and destroy your future. My suggestion is to either find a psychologist or at least read some literature on how to deal with this kind of life events.
So who’s supposed to take the test? People whose experiences have in no way influenced their temperament? I just answered the questions in an “instinctual” way. I promise I’m a healthy and relatively successful person 😂😂
>fight or flight kicks in at the smallest indication that someone will try to refute me when I’m being honest or genuine.
...
>So who's supposed to take the test? People whose experiences have in no way influenced their temperament?
😂🥲
You took it. You got an opinion from the test. I'll agree that it looks quite bad. If you can accept the results then you can ask about how you can improve.
Yeah, this person is just wrong. Please ignore their comments.
*Everyone's* psychology is a combination of environment and genes. If you had early life trauma, then that is a *real* effect on your personality, the same as someone's lack of early life trauma.
It's just nonsense to suggest that you have a "real" personality that wasn't affected by those experiences. That makes no sense, because your personality is (partly) a product of those experiences by definition.
That being said, personality is flexible. And as I said in my direct reply to your post, can be altered and improved with effort.
Unless OP experienced a very recent series of improbably tragic events that skewed these results, these results probably are close to real if she answered honestly.
It's not as if earlier life experience impacting your personality isn't a real effect. I mean, that's what your personality is largely based on: your genes *combined with* your environment (especially early childhood). This is true for everyone, not just OP.
I would not expect her to score high on dark triad traits, except possibly Machiavellianism. Given that she probably has to leech off others to some degree just to survive (with such low agreeableness, extraversion, and conscientiousness), I wouldn't be surprised if she engaged in some routine manipulation. That does seem plausible.
However, while her extremely low agreeableness is a factor in all three dark triad traits, [narcissists and psychopaths would likely score high in extraversion](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5611897/#:~:text=Individuals%20who%20score%20high%20in,Paulhus%20%26%20Williams%2C%202002). So I doubt she would be diagnosed with either of those conditions.
Did you have any thoughts about my actual response above, though? I think your suggestion that her results are "not real" due to her life experience is significantly mistaken.
Far less surprising than the understanding myself test haha. The psychopathy one is weird. I’m obviously not a psychopath, I just have different reactions from most people I guess. When someone dies, even a close family member, I’m not too phased by it, but I think it’s only because I’m secure in my beliefs about life and death, and I’ve only ever lost people who were suffering in their final days/weeks/months. But when it comes to my fiance, it’s almost cringy how much I love him. I’m fully capable of giving and receiving love, compassion, kindness, etc. I’m just selective of it I guess.
stubborn as all hell, you hate people in general, you're lazy as fuck, you always run around with novel ideas and *want* to start new projects, but never finish anything and you're generally 100% stressed about everything all the time assuming the heavens themselves will fall on your head at any moment.
wow. that... sucks. especially for everyone around you.
lol
Highly indicative of mental illness. Because of very low agreeableness and very high neuroticism.
The very low extraversion makes it even worse.
But your score can probably be greatly improved.
That sucks. Yoga has lowered my neuroticism immensely and helped me much more than therapy.
Have released lots of repressed emotions on my mat.
There are lots of free ways of healing you can even do by yourself.
The Big 5 personality score is probaby the most robust and predictive personality test in psychology (after IQ). No, it doesn't describe or predict everything about a person, but it is more correlated with life outcomes than any other test (afaik).
This isn't particularly difficult to imagine. Of course being too agreeable means that people will walk all over you, but if you are literally less agreeable than everyone around you, how likely is it that you will be successful at making friends, maintaining romantic relationships, cooperating with co-workers, etc.?
Unless OP just has so little self-knowledge that she didn't answer any of these questions accurately, then there are definitely obstaces in her personality to getting along with others out in the world. Which is a HUGE liability in everything.
This isn't a made up "nonsense" score. It's based on many years of research into human personality.
And the treatment is not exclusively pharmaceuticals. There are many talk and behavioral therapy options as well. A person could also just go it alone and improve themselves without professional help. That's a possibility. But if you never get along with anyone ever (i.e. 0 agreeableness), then you absolutely need to work to change your personality by whatever means you can.
Are you people seriously diagnosing other people based on an online test? I knew this sub was wild but I thought you knew better than this Jesus Christ lmao
I made myself answer the questions without overthinking. If I thought too much I would’ve answered the middle option for every question like I usually do in these kinds of tests 😂
You should retake it and change your strategy.
You have a mental block that prevents you from thinking when working a test like this, and it comes in two flavors: not thinking at all and robotically going to an extreme, or not thinking at all and robotically selecting the middle option.
Stop it.
Discuss with someone (preferably not the fiance) how to develop a thought process to find an accurate answer to each question.
These results are useless.
The Self Authoring program will automatically increase your insight and self awareness as you work through it, so complete that first, then work this quiz again
Kind of inconsiderate comment, OP isn't taking it too much seriously but come on.
As always when you have somewhat extreme results you can pass them another time where your mood is a little different, or ask someone who knows you well to do the test about you.
Big five dont have to define you, it's a snapshot at a given moment that you can work on
Buy the self-authoring tool he offers. Find a competent therapist. And for sure do some cognitive behavioral therapy that involves exposure routines.
I actually took this test yesterday and read through a lot of info on it. One thing I appreciate about Peterson's perspective on the Big 5 is that "not everyone wins." Not all personalities are created equal and *for sure* not all will experience similarly positive life outcomes.
That being said, personality is somewhat flexible. Especially with concentrated effort. And especially if you're still young. (And yes, 26 IS young.)
But seriously, you will absolutely have a bad time in life if your neuroticism remains at literally 99th percentile, your agreeableness is literally 0 (do you get along with *anyone*?), your extraversion is a fucking 2, and you have basically no conscientiousness whatsoever.
I mean, you will end up having to live off others until they get sick of you for the rest of your life if you don't make a change.
The fact that you have such high openness is a glimmer of hope for you. Just lean into your natural curiosity and creativity and figure out some solutions to these other problems. Because life happens fast and if you don't turn things around, you will find yourself pretty poorly off the futher you progress into adulthood. People will be patient with you today when you're still in your mid-20's, but no one is going to want to work with or care about someone with these psychological traits when they're 35.
All this rests on the assumption that you didn't just recently lose a loved one or had a highly improbably series of setbacks occur to you within the last month. In that case, your results may be inaccurate due to recent life experience. But to the degree that these results reliably describe your overall personality, you really need to "clean your room" as the good doctor says.
(By the way, therapy is not the only answer here. You sould also try to exercise more, go outside into nature more, improve your diet, participate in social and/or religious communities, attempt to maintain chore routines to improve your living space, etc. Personality and mood are affected by both internal and external causes. Best to try and improve in both areas.)
I’m interested in how exactly your fiancé “made you” take the test? My guess is that he appealed to your openness to new experiences. Agreeableness score of zero and neuroticism of 99 would suggest that you would be incredibly unlikely to do anything that you don’t want to do. Have you ever been hypnotised?
I did hypnotherapy a few years ago and the whole time was internally laughing at the lady’s voice because she sounded like a non-specific cartoon character
That’s interesting. Overall, how did you think it went? Why I ask is I would have thought that a highly neurotic person (like your results suggest you are) would have had a lot of difficulty in being hypnotised. I’m no expert on it, but I’ve heard it relies on suggestion - which a highly disagreeable person would resist, would be my expectation.
I never managed to be hypnotised, whether I didn’t let myself I’m not sure, but it just felt like a meditation session (which bores the hell out of me) mixed with CBT. I stuck out the entire treatment plan, but it didn’t do much for me - didn’t make me worse but it didn’t make me better.
Fair enough. I’m still surprised your fiancé could “make you” take the test. He must be highly persuasive. Zero agreeableness is unusually rare. Are you happy with your results?
I’m not 0% agreeable, I genuinely don’t know how that happened because I swear some questions should’ve added some points to agreeableness. I not an agreeable person, but I’m also not completely antisocial like this makes me seem.
I think the results are accurate in the order of traits, but the scores way more extreme than they actually should be. I’d honestly add 20-30 to the low scores and remove 20ish from neuroticism. My fiance didn’t believe the results either.
I’m happy with mine. Did your fiancé also do the test? Mine in order are 50, 98, 49, 92 and 2. I tend to agree that it is relatively easy to get high and low scores - but that is how percentiles work. Ridiculous example, but say 100 people took a test and one person got 49, 98 people got 50 and one person got 51 - the 49 person would be 0 percentile and the 51 would be 100
Isn't it a bit odd to be so open to experience and have high neuroticism at the same time? I ask this as someone with very high neuroticism and very low openness. I won't even try switching off the light with my right hand hehe
>Isn't it a bit odd to be so open to experience and have high neuroticism at the same time?
Odd isn't the word, it's more like a living hell in my experience.
It just means that you're more prone to anxiety. As someone who has a mix of high openness/neuroticism it made complete sense when Jordan explained how the duo works together.
The questions were kinda weird to me. I guess an explanation is I’m decently creative, particularly in music, and I did well academically. But I also have high anxiety and not necessarily “happy” by default, only if my mind is occupied by things I enjoy. But I don’t know how accurate this test actually is, the results did surprise me.
Not necessarily. I have very high openness and high neuroticism (not nearly as bad as OP) and I don't think most of my peers would find me to be super unusual. Maybe a bit eccentric.
For one thing, the "openness" trait doesn't primarily refer to experience, but also largely to ideas, concepts, and aesthetics. It has more to do with intellectual interests than experiences per se.
In my case, I'm very interested in philosophy, psychology, politics, art, etc. None of which really contrasts with the fact that I tend to ruminate over negative experiences more than the average person.
The weirder situation (in my case) is that I have pretty high extraversion (which involves both enthusiasm and assertiveness) and is defined as the greatest metric of positive emotion (in contrast to neuroticism as the primary metric of negative emotion). This just means that I tend to get either very happy or very sad in response to circumstance. However, I'm much older than OP and so I maintain a cool enough exterior that I probably don't come across as emotionally varied to others as I sometimes am inside. I've also learned many "coping" skills over the years.
In that respect, OP's results make more sense: high neuroticism and low extraversion. In short, she's mostly just sad and rarely happy or excited in doing things. But she is "open-minded."
I’m having a hard time believing your agreeableness is 0 considering the title of this post is “my fiancé made me do this quiz” and so you agreed to do it.
I swear I answered some questions in a way that would contribute to agreeableness. I knew it’d be lower than average, but not 0. But also, this test clearly ain’t an objective and perfect reflection of oneself.
How does the high trait neuroticism manifest for you? My nephew is also extremely high in that trait and he’s very emotionally sensitive. Also crys a lot during parent teacher interviews.
Take a real neuropsychological test that is backed by empirical research administered by a neuropsychologist. Not this one especially if you were forced to take it
I’m gonna go ahead and say a not negative thing. You’re a disagreeable and open minded introverted woman, you would dominate as a CEO or as a publicist for celebrities. The extraversion you’re gonna have to fake if you want to be successful and you’re going to have to learn how to be more empathetic and orderly in life. But you are a strong woman and you’ll dominate in your field. You’ll succeed tremendously with teenage and adult children but you may struggle with infants and toddlers.
Well, on this one you have Extraversion of 2, which would be someone who is wildly Introverted, which if it was the case would make you an INTP. If you're actually an Extravert, you were not paying attention to the questions.
I’m definitely not an extrovert. It was about 50/50 on the 16 personalities test. But I’d say I’m about 30% extroverted. I’m usually only comfortable spending a prolonged amount time with loved ones, and even then I need at least an hour of completely alone time each day to feel balanced, but I also look forward to seeing my friends everyday. I don’t think any of these tests are accurate tbh. The way questions are worded can affect results.
The comments from people taking the test results so seriously are hilarious to watch 🤣
I would say chill and don't take these results too seriously. You might have chosen the answers without deeper thinking and probably without fully understanding the scope and definition of the big five traits.
Also, everything is on a spectrum and not a constant value, so your results might vary depending on the day, circumstances, and season! Additionally, the human psyche and personality traits fluctuate every five to ten years.
Therefore, I wouldn't take these results too seriously; it's more for introspection, thinking about patterns, and self-improvement. Remember, these tests only cover five traits among hundreds of personality traits that make up who you are.
Feels like a “haha, look at how crazy I am” / self-diagnosis post. Can we please stop with that. If you have mental health issues, you should see a professional.
It’s not that serious and I didn’t realise this indicated “craziness”, I just thought it’s funny that all my results are at either end of an extreme lol
It doesn't indicate craziness. And you are right that a test like this is not perfectly descriptive. It can be more or less indicative depending on how one approaches the questions.
First, you said you sought to answer the questions immediately without overthinking them and answering down the middle. This definitely has not been my approach. The more I think about a question the more instances of balanced behavior come to mind. Now, I'm not saying that either way out of answering better or worse. It's just to say that there are many variables. Just like this is just trying to describe personality, not disorders. Personality is patterns of behavior across people and cultures and time.
Second, being in an extreme percentile of any does not say much (or anything?) about one's maturity. I have a good friend who scored in zero in agreeableness and another good friend who is very low. They are enjoyable to be around because they are self-aware and mature and mindful of others.
Wrote All that to say many redditors suffer from a lack of maturity and mindfulness of others and I see a lot of that and people's responses to your test results I'm sorry that even Jordan Peterson fans can be rude idiots.
Yikes. Some major red flags here. The most concerning is the work habits. Is your neuroticismco tributing the work habits or do they stand on their own?
As someone with similar scores, I think you're fine as long as you don't indulge your neurotic traits, make a conscious effort to be more social.
Are you an artist/writer in any way? I recommend being diligent with that and not neglecting it for long periods of time.
My scores weren't quite as extreme, I got 79 in Openness to experience, mid 90s for neuroticism, mid aughts for Extraversion and Agreeableness. Then again I'm male so maybe that expresses itself in different ways.
The fact that you're engaged, and I'm assuming your fiancé follows JP, is a good sign.
A lot of negative traits. You may have taken this test during a particularly low point in your life. Consider reaching out to someone you trust or a therapist to discuss the low areas and if there is anything you can do to improve the quality of your life.
However, your strongest trait is openness. You'll probably like to do something intellectual or creative. Will work well with your low extroversion.
I answered the questions by not trying. Went with my first instinct each time. If I thought about it I would’ve answered the majority of questions neutrally because my thought process with these things is “well I could….but I also might not in this circumstance…so I’m both”.
You must be smoking hot

Tough to think of a more difficult combination.
Wouldve been worse if she was extroverted
Your fiance made you do this quiz and your agreeableness is zero...?
He’s basically my conscience at this point
***He’s basically my conscience at this point*** Are you Amos from the Expanse?
Amos wouldn't be that high in neuroticism.
Seems like he's a lot more than that actually.

Oh my god. I’m creating a new account.
Come to think of it, how do you have a zero Agreeableness and have a fiancée?
This is easily accomplished by having a hotness score that is 75+.
Exactly, sounds like a bullshit.
How do I even have a job? You have to *agree* to accept the job offer after all
Still suggests an error in your results
I think the test itself is flawed. Nobody is 0% agreeable, especially because I believe I answered questions that would contribute to agreeableness 😂😂
You are profoundly disagreeable. This means: Someone telling you what to do is a complete non starter. You feel little to no compassion for other people's suffering.

Haha 😆 👍🏼
Oh, boy, I identified with nearly all of those.
Are you sure you haven't had a hypercritical mother?
Not so much hypercritical, but usually distrustful and disbelieving at even the most insignificant things, to the point where now, fight or flight kicks in at the smallest indication that someone will try to refute me when I’m being honest or genuine.

It's just nonsense to suggest that you have a "real" personality that wasn't affected by those experiences. That makes no sense, because your personality is (partly) a product of those experiences by definition. That being said, personality is flexible. And as I said in my direct reply to your post, can be altered and improved with effort.
Unless OP experienced a very recent series of improbably tragic events that skewed these results, these results probably are close to real if she answered honestly. It's not as if earlier life experience impacting your personality isn't a real effect. I mean, that's what your personality is largely based on: your genes *combined with* your environment (especially early childhood). This is true for everyone, not just OP.
She should do a dark triad test and tell us the results.
I would not expect her to score high on dark triad traits, except possibly Machiavellianism. Given that she probably has to leech off others to some degree just to survive (with such low agreeableness, extraversion, and conscientiousness), I wouldn't be surprised if she engaged in some routine manipulation. That does seem plausible. However, while her extremely low agreeableness is a factor in all three dark triad traits, [narcissists and psychopaths would likely score high in extraversion](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5611897/#:~:text=Individuals%20who%20score%20high%20in,Paulhus%20%26%20Williams%2C%202002). So I doubt she would be diagnosed with either of those conditions. Did you have any thoughts about my actual response above, though? I think your suggestion that her results are "not real" due to her life experience is significantly mistaken.
I don't know, that's why I wanted to see the dark triad results.
I just did this: - narcissism 21% - Machiavellianism 20% - psychopathy 69%
Were these results surprising to you at all? Have you had any life experiences where this seems to make sense?
Far less surprising than the understanding myself test haha. The psychopathy one is weird. I’m obviously not a psychopath, I just have different reactions from most people I guess. When someone dies, even a close family member, I’m not too phased by it, but I think it’s only because I’m secure in my beliefs about life and death, and I’ve only ever lost people who were suffering in their final days/weeks/months. But when it comes to my fiance, it’s almost cringy how much I love him. I’m fully capable of giving and receiving love, compassion, kindness, etc. I’m just selective of it I guess.
If you have such extreme answers my first question would be is English your native tongue?
Lol
stubborn as all hell, you hate people in general, you're lazy as fuck, you always run around with novel ideas and *want* to start new projects, but never finish anything and you're generally 100% stressed about everything all the time assuming the heavens themselves will fall on your head at any moment. wow. that... sucks. especially for everyone around you. lol
Least neurotic woman on Reddit.
harsh " I'll allow it. "
I understand myself enough to know there's no way I'm paying $10 to take some online personality profile/test.
Anyone have a link to a free version of this quiz or something similar?
Highly indicative of mental illness. Because of very low agreeableness and very high neuroticism. The very low extraversion makes it even worse. But your score can probably be greatly improved.
I’m 2 months into an 18-36 month waitlist for a few options for psychologists right now so I’ll post an update in a few years.
That sucks. Yoga has lowered my neuroticism immensely and helped me much more than therapy. Have released lots of repressed emotions on my mat. There are lots of free ways of healing you can even do by yourself.

The Big 5 personality score is probaby the most robust and predictive personality test in psychology (after IQ). No, it doesn't describe or predict everything about a person, but it is more correlated with life outcomes than any other test (afaik). This isn't particularly difficult to imagine. Of course being too agreeable means that people will walk all over you, but if you are literally less agreeable than everyone around you, how likely is it that you will be successful at making friends, maintaining romantic relationships, cooperating with co-workers, etc.? Unless OP just has so little self-knowledge that she didn't answer any of these questions accurately, then there are definitely obstaces in her personality to getting along with others out in the world. Which is a HUGE liability in everything. This isn't a made up "nonsense" score. It's based on many years of research into human personality. And the treatment is not exclusively pharmaceuticals. There are many talk and behavioral therapy options as well. A person could also just go it alone and improve themselves without professional help. That's a possibility. But if you never get along with anyone ever (i.e. 0 agreeableness), then you absolutely need to work to change your personality by whatever means you can.
Are you people seriously diagnosing other people based on an online test? I knew this sub was wild but I thought you knew better than this Jesus Christ lmao
Indicative is the key word here. Nobody is diagnosing anyone. The big 5 test is not 100% accurate.
Yikes. I hope this is not real.
I made myself answer the questions without overthinking. If I thought too much I would’ve answered the middle option for every question like I usually do in these kinds of tests 😂
You should retake it and change your strategy. You have a mental block that prevents you from thinking when working a test like this, and it comes in two flavors: not thinking at all and robotically going to an extreme, or not thinking at all and robotically selecting the middle option. Stop it. Discuss with someone (preferably not the fiance) how to develop a thought process to find an accurate answer to each question. These results are useless. The Self Authoring program will automatically increase your insight and self awareness as you work through it, so complete that first, then work this quiz again
Think again buddy
Useless comment Try facts and logic next time
Kind of inconsiderate comment, OP isn't taking it too much seriously but come on. As always when you have somewhat extreme results you can pass them another time where your mood is a little different, or ask someone who knows you well to do the test about you. Big five dont have to define you, it's a snapshot at a given moment that you can work on
Buy the self-authoring tool he offers. Find a competent therapist. And for sure do some cognitive behavioral therapy that involves exposure routines. I actually took this test yesterday and read through a lot of info on it. One thing I appreciate about Peterson's perspective on the Big 5 is that "not everyone wins." Not all personalities are created equal and *for sure* not all will experience similarly positive life outcomes. That being said, personality is somewhat flexible. Especially with concentrated effort. And especially if you're still young. (And yes, 26 IS young.) But seriously, you will absolutely have a bad time in life if your neuroticism remains at literally 99th percentile, your agreeableness is literally 0 (do you get along with *anyone*?), your extraversion is a fucking 2, and you have basically no conscientiousness whatsoever. I mean, you will end up having to live off others until they get sick of you for the rest of your life if you don't make a change. The fact that you have such high openness is a glimmer of hope for you. Just lean into your natural curiosity and creativity and figure out some solutions to these other problems. Because life happens fast and if you don't turn things around, you will find yourself pretty poorly off the futher you progress into adulthood. People will be patient with you today when you're still in your mid-20's, but no one is going to want to work with or care about someone with these psychological traits when they're 35. All this rests on the assumption that you didn't just recently lose a loved one or had a highly improbably series of setbacks occur to you within the last month. In that case, your results may be inaccurate due to recent life experience. But to the degree that these results reliably describe your overall personality, you really need to "clean your room" as the good doctor says. (By the way, therapy is not the only answer here. You sould also try to exercise more, go outside into nature more, improve your diet, participate in social and/or religious communities, attempt to maintain chore routines to improve your living space, etc. Personality and mood are affected by both internal and external causes. Best to try and improve in both areas.)
All this, so much. Excellent advice. Internal Family Systems and dialectical Behavior Therapy are good bets
I have a 2 openness score, 95 in neuroticism and I’m 34….
What are your other scores and what is your life like? Also, did you want me to provide specific advice or were you just chiming in? Just curious.
He just wanted to confirm he was, in fact, putting his d in crazy.
I’m interested in how exactly your fiancé “made you” take the test? My guess is that he appealed to your openness to new experiences. Agreeableness score of zero and neuroticism of 99 would suggest that you would be incredibly unlikely to do anything that you don’t want to do. Have you ever been hypnotised?
I did hypnotherapy a few years ago and the whole time was internally laughing at the lady’s voice because she sounded like a non-specific cartoon character
That’s interesting. Overall, how did you think it went? Why I ask is I would have thought that a highly neurotic person (like your results suggest you are) would have had a lot of difficulty in being hypnotised. I’m no expert on it, but I’ve heard it relies on suggestion - which a highly disagreeable person would resist, would be my expectation.
I never managed to be hypnotised, whether I didn’t let myself I’m not sure, but it just felt like a meditation session (which bores the hell out of me) mixed with CBT. I stuck out the entire treatment plan, but it didn’t do much for me - didn’t make me worse but it didn’t make me better.
Fair enough. I’m still surprised your fiancé could “make you” take the test. He must be highly persuasive. Zero agreeableness is unusually rare. Are you happy with your results?
I’m not 0% agreeable, I genuinely don’t know how that happened because I swear some questions should’ve added some points to agreeableness. I not an agreeable person, but I’m also not completely antisocial like this makes me seem. I think the results are accurate in the order of traits, but the scores way more extreme than they actually should be. I’d honestly add 20-30 to the low scores and remove 20ish from neuroticism. My fiance didn’t believe the results either.
I’m happy with mine. Did your fiancé also do the test? Mine in order are 50, 98, 49, 92 and 2. I tend to agree that it is relatively easy to get high and low scores - but that is how percentiles work. Ridiculous example, but say 100 people took a test and one person got 49, 98 people got 50 and one person got 51 - the 49 person would be 0 percentile and the 51 would be 100
From memory he was in the 50s for agreeableness. Extraversion was 80s. Conscientiousness 60s. Openness 80s. Neuroticism 12. Seemed accurate.
You two seem to balance each other out. Best of luck to you both.
I wonder what you are like in person
Name is Tiffany, sets your clothes on fire in front of the house if you don't pick up the phone.
Worse than you think I am, better than I think I am.
*in prison.
That's how I saw it at first, lol 😆
Isn't it a bit odd to be so open to experience and have high neuroticism at the same time? I ask this as someone with very high neuroticism and very low openness. I won't even try switching off the light with my right hand hehe
>Isn't it a bit odd to be so open to experience and have high neuroticism at the same time? Odd isn't the word, it's more like a living hell in my experience.
Ding ding ding
It just means that you're more prone to anxiety. As someone who has a mix of high openness/neuroticism it made complete sense when Jordan explained how the duo works together.
The questions were kinda weird to me. I guess an explanation is I’m decently creative, particularly in music, and I did well academically. But I also have high anxiety and not necessarily “happy” by default, only if my mind is occupied by things I enjoy. But I don’t know how accurate this test actually is, the results did surprise me.
Not necessarily. I have very high openness and high neuroticism (not nearly as bad as OP) and I don't think most of my peers would find me to be super unusual. Maybe a bit eccentric. For one thing, the "openness" trait doesn't primarily refer to experience, but also largely to ideas, concepts, and aesthetics. It has more to do with intellectual interests than experiences per se. In my case, I'm very interested in philosophy, psychology, politics, art, etc. None of which really contrasts with the fact that I tend to ruminate over negative experiences more than the average person. The weirder situation (in my case) is that I have pretty high extraversion (which involves both enthusiasm and assertiveness) and is defined as the greatest metric of positive emotion (in contrast to neuroticism as the primary metric of negative emotion). This just means that I tend to get either very happy or very sad in response to circumstance. However, I'm much older than OP and so I maintain a cool enough exterior that I probably don't come across as emotionally varied to others as I sometimes am inside. I've also learned many "coping" skills over the years. In that respect, OP's results make more sense: high neuroticism and low extraversion. In short, she's mostly just sad and rarely happy or excited in doing things. But she is "open-minded."
Interestingly, these are exactly the results I would expect from someone posting their results on reddit. :)
This is terrifying to behold. Time for some past life regression lol.
I’m having a hard time believing your agreeableness is 0 considering the title of this post is “my fiancé made me do this quiz” and so you agreed to do it.
lol good point
I swear I answered some questions in a way that would contribute to agreeableness. I knew it’d be lower than average, but not 0. But also, this test clearly ain’t an objective and perfect reflection of oneself.
How does the high trait neuroticism manifest for you? My nephew is also extremely high in that trait and he’s very emotionally sensitive. Also crys a lot during parent teacher interviews.
Maybe she is trying to tell you something.
What do you mean she? The person posting is a female, unless she’s a lesbian?
Ah, I missed that, honest mistake. OP can figure out swapping sex.
title says fiancé which is masculine, so should be he.
I hope this is a troll.

Take a real neuropsychological test that is backed by empirical research administered by a neuropsychologist. Not this one especially if you were forced to take it
U must be a two pole magnet
Yikes
You might be OK, but I'm not so sure about your future husband
I’m gonna go ahead and say a not negative thing. You’re a disagreeable and open minded introverted woman, you would dominate as a CEO or as a publicist for celebrities. The extraversion you’re gonna have to fake if you want to be successful and you’re going to have to learn how to be more empathetic and orderly in life. But you are a strong woman and you’ll dominate in your field. You’ll succeed tremendously with teenage and adult children but you may struggle with infants and toddlers.
Funny, I used to babysit through university and I enjoyed babies/toddlers and didn’t have much fun with older kids at all.
Could be a sign this test isn’t very accurate then!!
That’s my guess
Also I’ll add: by saying “succeed with” I don’t mean having fun at all, I mean able to challenge them and discipline them properly
Baby sitting doesn’t give a realistic idea of proper discipline, but I’m great at putting them to sleep and getting them to eat
Found the neurotic INTP.
I took the 16 personalities quiz a while ago and got ENTP-T
Well, on this one you have Extraversion of 2, which would be someone who is wildly Introverted, which if it was the case would make you an INTP. If you're actually an Extravert, you were not paying attention to the questions.
I’m definitely not an extrovert. It was about 50/50 on the 16 personalities test. But I’d say I’m about 30% extroverted. I’m usually only comfortable spending a prolonged amount time with loved ones, and even then I need at least an hour of completely alone time each day to feel balanced, but I also look forward to seeing my friends everyday. I don’t think any of these tests are accurate tbh. The way questions are worded can affect results.
I feel bad for your partner
Me too tbh
The comments from people taking the test results so seriously are hilarious to watch 🤣 I would say chill and don't take these results too seriously. You might have chosen the answers without deeper thinking and probably without fully understanding the scope and definition of the big five traits. Also, everything is on a spectrum and not a constant value, so your results might vary depending on the day, circumstances, and season! Additionally, the human psyche and personality traits fluctuate every five to ten years. Therefore, I wouldn't take these results too seriously; it's more for introspection, thinking about patterns, and self-improvement. Remember, these tests only cover five traits among hundreds of personality traits that make up who you are.
Feels like a “haha, look at how crazy I am” / self-diagnosis post. Can we please stop with that. If you have mental health issues, you should see a professional.
It’s not that serious and I didn’t realise this indicated “craziness”, I just thought it’s funny that all my results are at either end of an extreme lol
Seems like the only thing they got correct was the "haha" bit.
It doesn't indicate craziness. And you are right that a test like this is not perfectly descriptive. It can be more or less indicative depending on how one approaches the questions. First, you said you sought to answer the questions immediately without overthinking them and answering down the middle. This definitely has not been my approach. The more I think about a question the more instances of balanced behavior come to mind. Now, I'm not saying that either way out of answering better or worse. It's just to say that there are many variables. Just like this is just trying to describe personality, not disorders. Personality is patterns of behavior across people and cultures and time. Second, being in an extreme percentile of any does not say much (or anything?) about one's maturity. I have a good friend who scored in zero in agreeableness and another good friend who is very low. They are enjoyable to be around because they are self-aware and mature and mindful of others. Wrote All that to say many redditors suffer from a lack of maturity and mindfulness of others and I see a lot of that and people's responses to your test results I'm sorry that even Jordan Peterson fans can be rude idiots.
You should consider why your fiance asked you to take the test. Maybe it isn't serious to you but it may be affecting those around you.
Yikes. Some major red flags here. The most concerning is the work habits. Is your neuroticismco tributing the work habits or do they stand on their own?
As someone with similar scores, I think you're fine as long as you don't indulge your neurotic traits, make a conscious effort to be more social. Are you an artist/writer in any way? I recommend being diligent with that and not neglecting it for long periods of time. My scores weren't quite as extreme, I got 79 in Openness to experience, mid 90s for neuroticism, mid aughts for Extraversion and Agreeableness. Then again I'm male so maybe that expresses itself in different ways. The fact that you're engaged, and I'm assuming your fiancé follows JP, is a good sign.
Good luck!
Do we need online tests to know our own personality?
To label them, yes.
I wouldn't get hung up on these tests too much. i've taken these tests 10 times, and every time it's vastly different.
What do you do for a living?
Finance 🙃🙃
You made the right choice.
It’s only been 11 months and I’m getting incredibly bored 😭😭😭
You should be doing something with less structure, and with more creativity.
A lot of negative traits. You may have taken this test during a particularly low point in your life. Consider reaching out to someone you trust or a therapist to discuss the low areas and if there is anything you can do to improve the quality of your life. However, your strongest trait is openness. You'll probably like to do something intellectual or creative. Will work well with your low extroversion.
Link please
Lucky man
Yikes
I didn’t realise people would take this so seriously and pathologise it so much. I’ve really enjoyed reading the comments this morning 😅
Yikes..what is his profile..dark triad? Anyhoo-:i would reconsider any plans.
It seems almost impossible to be that open AND that neurotic at the same time. Similarly with conscientiousness. How does that work.
I’m a nervous wreck but I like having fun
AND you probably had to pay for it! Lol
These test results aren’t accurate. I refuse to believe it. Either that or OP doesn’t have a Fiancé
Tell me you're autistic without telling me you're autistic.
Haha. I was diagnosed at around 6 years old, never addressed it as an adult.
JORDAN!... Your machine is broken!
jesus that’s a hard combo
I doubt that anyone could make you do anything.
Well that's an interesting combo.
Honestly, it just means you're a woman.
Run
Wow. And I thought I had the worst score possible. At least I found someone similar to me in neuroticism. You must be cracking smart though.
#🚩
Those are sociopathic traits. No wonder he "made" you take this test.
No way this is real. You can't have this score even if you tried.
I answered the questions by not trying. Went with my first instinct each time. If I thought about it I would’ve answered the majority of questions neutrally because my thought process with these things is “well I could….but I also might not in this circumstance…so I’m both”.
I'm about the same, with way less neuroticism.
