After completing the Big Five Personality Test, you receive a score for each of the five core traits: Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. But what do these scores actually mean? Here's how to interpret your results:
High: You are imaginative, curious, open to new experiences, and appreciate art, ideas, and
adventure.
Low: You prefer routine, tradition, and familiarity. You may be more conventional and
practical in your thinking.
High: You are organized, disciplined, goal-oriented, and reliable.
Low: You may be more spontaneous, less structured, and prefer flexibility over plans and
deadlines.
High: You are outgoing, energetic, talkative, and enjoy social situations.
Low: You are more reserved, quiet, and enjoy solitude or small groups over large
gatherings.
High: You are cooperative, empathetic, trusting, and value social harmony.
Low: You may be more skeptical, competitive, or prioritize honesty and directness over
tact.
High: You are more likely to experience emotional fluctuations, anxiety, moodiness, or
stress.
Low: You are emotionally stable, calm under pressure, and less prone to negative feelings.
Most people fall somewhere in the middle on each trait. There is no “perfect” score — each level has its strengths and challenges. For example, someone low in Extraversion may be a great listener, while someone high in Neuroticism may be highly sensitive and empathetic.
Your results offer insight, not judgment. Everyone’s personality is unique, and the Big Five simply helps you better understand yourself and others.
