My Personality Profile
In order to interpret your raw percentages, they were compared to the first 350,000 people to complete the full MyPersonality Big Five questionnaire. This allows the way that you described yourself to be put in the context of how other people respond to the questionnaire. You should remember that there are no fundamentally good or bad personalities, as each trait description has potential advantages and disadvantages. To help you reflect on these, you have also been given some questions which ask you to consider the implications of your trait descriptions. Other people viewing your personality profile will not be able to see these. This trait refers to the extent to which you prefer novelty versus convention. Approximately 84.1% of respondents have a lower openness raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who is far more intellectually curious and sensitive to beauty than most. You might say that your beliefs are individualistic and frequently drift towards the unconventional, and that you enjoy your imagination and the exciting places it takes you! However, your friends' descriptions suggest that they think that you are far more conventional than you realise, and that they think that you would much prefer things to stay the same. Reflective question: What place do you think that tradition has in society (if any)? This trait refers to the extent to which you prefer an organised, or a flexible, approach in life. Approximately 21% of respondents have a lower conscientiousness raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who is spontaneous and fun, and that you like to do unexpected things that make life that bit more interesting. You might say that you aren't completely unreliable, but you've been known to slip up on occasion. Your friends' descriptions suggest that they generally agree with this view. Reflective question: How do you go about tackling a new task? This trait refers to the extent to which you enjoy company, and seek excitement and stimulation. Approximately 2.3% of respondents have a lower extraversion raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who is quiet and somewhat withdrawn. Your answers describe you as someone who doesn't need lots of other people around to have fun, and can sometimes find that people are tiring. Your friends' descriptions suggest that they generally agree with this view. Reflective question: How do you like to spend your spare time? This trait refers to the way you express your opinions and manage relationships. Approximately 16% of respondents have a lower agreeableness raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who is willing to make difficult decisions when necessary, and will point out when something is wrong no matter what other people might feel. Your responses suggest that you would say that you can be tough and uncompromising. However, your friends' descriptions suggest that they regard you as far easier to get on with than you say you are. They think you're something of a softie! Reflective question: When others are experiencing problems, what do you do? This trait refers to the way you cope with, and respond to, life's demands. Approximately 99.2% of respondents have a lower neuroticism raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who reacts poorly to stressful situations, and consequently worries more than most about them. However, you are someone that has an emotional depth that others lack. However, your friends' descriptions suggest that they feel that you are more emotionally stable than you think. You project yourself as someone who is more confident and relaxed than you realise. Reflective question: When do you not feel in control of your emotions? Research has found that the Big Five personality traits are significantly related to Jungian Typology (e.g. the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator). This is a popular alternative personality framework regularly used for personal development, in which Types are used rather than Traits. Based on your Big Five trait scores, your estimated Type is shown below (if you have already taken a Jungian Typology test and got a different result, this can be changed from the More Options section). INTPs are quiet, thoughtful, analytical individuals who don't mind spending long periods of time on their own, working through problems and forming solutions. INTPs tend to be less at ease in social situations and the 'caring professions,' although they enjoy the company of those who share their interests. They also tend to be impatient with the bureaucracy, rigid hierarchies, and politics prevalent in many professions, preferring to work informally with others as equals. INTPs' extraverted intuition often gives them a quick wit, especially with language, and they can defuse the tension in gatherings by comical observations and references. They can be charming, even in their quiet reserve, and are sometimes surprised by the high esteem in which their friends and colleagues hold them. ISFPs are peaceful, easygoing people who adopt a 'live and let live' approach to life. They enjoy taking things at their own pace and tend to live in the moment. Although quiet, they are pleasant, considerate, and caring, devoted to the people in their lives. Although not inclined to debate or necessarily even air their views, their values are important to them. ISFPs' interest can be held best through experiential learning, at which many excel. ISFPs will practice playing an instrument or honing a favored skill for hours on end, not so much as practice as for the joy of the experience.

You have a true Cancer personality!
The Cancer personality is described on the one hand as "endearingly eccentric" and stimulating, but on the other hand "security oriented", which overall still suggests a slightly above-average openness trait score. This is accurate for you.It is also described as having ever changing moods, which is difficult to reconcile with the reliability that having a high conscientiousness trait score entails, so suggests a below-average score, and that is indeed what you have!
The Cancer personality says that its members are "self-contained" and "family and home oriented", suggesting they are more introverted than extroverted. However, you are actually even more introverted than the Cancer personality predicts.The Cancer personality is "compassionate and caring with friends", but can also "cut to the bone with their jealous remarks and changing moods", overall suggesting an average agreeableness trait score, however, your agreeableness trait score is actually significantly below the average.The most extreme trait for a Cancer personality is its lack of emotional stability, which is "up and down like the proverbial yo-yo", suggesting a very high neuroticism trait score. Indeed, your neuroticism trait score is very high.
