Josef's Personality

Hello again everyone! To help you get to know me in a more detailed and sophisticated manner, I decided to take McCrae and Costa's 5 factor trait theory test. You may also take the test to get to know yourselves better, here's the link:

The test was honestly not completely accurate but it still gives a decent general overview of my personality through 5 domains and 30 sub-domains or facets. Without further ado, here are the results of my personality test:



Domain/Facet........... Score
EXTRAVERSION...............68
..Friendliness.............75
..Gregariousness...........50
..Assertiveness............81
..Activity Level...........39
..Excitement-Seeking.......63
..Cheerfulness.............67




Extraversion - High, well I guess out of all the 5 domains this is actually the only one that I learned to develop through the years because honestly being an introvert in college to me can be quite sad...
  • Friendliness. High, of course it's high. Especially since I'm in college now, why not enjoy college life by making new friends??
  • Gregariousness. Average, well yea it kind of depends on my mood. There are times when I feel like I should have fun and there are times where I feel like being quiet and serious. And i'd rather be in smaller groups than in the noisy ones.
  • Assertiveness. High, I always pride myself in showing off a Hardy type of personality. I want others to trust and believe in me just like how I believe in myself.
  • Activity Level. Below Average, well I don't really care about this one. I go and move at my own pace, there's no point in rating this.
  • Excitement-Seeking. Above Average, but there can be tendencies for this to exponentially increase depending on the people I'm with.
  • Cheerfulness. Above Average, but exponentially increases when I'm playing sports or exercising.


Domain/Facet........... Score
AGREEABLENESS..............80
..Trust....................89
..Morality.................76
..Altruism.................63
..Cooperation..............59
..Modesty..................64
..Sympathy.................70



Agreeableness - Definitely High. This is the domain I agree with the most!
  • Trust. Anyone who knows me personally would agree that this is high, I always share stories about my life to others.
  • Morality. This is definitely high also but sometimes I tend to tell half-truths and not tell the whole story.
  • Altruism. Wow I'm just average, I wasn't expecting that. I should be ashamed of myself.
  • Cooperation. There's nothing wrong with making a compromise with me unless I feel like I'm being taken advantage of.
  • Modesty. I can be arrogant at times but not when it comes to bragging about my abilities, that's never been me ever since I was a little boy.
  • Sympathy. As a Catholic and coming from a Catholic education, I think it should only be fitting for me to score high on this facet. Jesus Christ is my idol.

Domain/Facet........... Score
CONSCIENTIOUSNESS..........48
..Self-Efficacy............29
..Orderliness..............52
..Dutifulness..............67
..Achievement-Striving.....59
..Self-Discipline..........40
..Cautiousness.............45

Conscientiousness - Just about right, maybe slightly higher, a lot of the results in different facets here confuse me :/
  • Self-Efficacy. Probably low because of my personality growing up. Or maybe I'm just too humble...
  • Orderliness. I honestly have no idea what grade I deserve here.
  • Dutifulness. I do my duty but I still feel like I can improve. It kind of disappoints me that I'm just average in this facet.
  • Achievement-Striving. I generally strive for excellence but I do feel like complacency is the solution to my stress sometimes.
  • Self-Discipline. I think I'm self-disciplined especially when it comes to my lifestyle. I don't know what happened during the test.
  • Cautiousness. I often find a balance in thinking before acting and making quick decisions. I don't know which one I use more often.

Domain/Facet........... Score
NEUROTICISM................36
..Anxiety..................41
..Anger....................50
..Depression...............20
..Self-Consciousness.......25
..Immoderation.............66
..Vulnerability............43

Neuroticism - The test said 36 is average-there must be something wrong with my math.

  • Anxiety. I try to calm myself down most of the time, but sometimes my emotions get the best of me.
  • Anger. I definitely FEEL angry often, I just don' show it 'cause I'm cool.
  • Depression. If this test was taken a year ago this would probably be one of the highest. Things have definitely changed over the year and this is the score that I'm most proud of.
  • Self-Consciousness. (Read Depression) Yeaa I'm starting to love this test!
  • Immoderation. When it comes to eating it's definitely hard for me to control myself. But on the other hand I've also been able to control myself from bad habits so I guess average is just about right.
  • Vulnerability. I wish this was a 0. In fact that's my goal for my new year's resolution, I'm going to take this test again next year and hopefully get a 0 on vulnerability - FEELING DETERMINED.

Domain/Facet........... Score
OPENNESS TO EXPERIENCE.....38
..Imagination..............17
..Artistic Interests.......73
..Emotionality.............64
..Adventurousness..........51
..Intellect................5
..Liberalism...............52




Openness - Average, ohh well I can't disagree, I'm not sure if I should be high or low so why not average??
  • Imagination. Yeaa I'm definitely more interested in the real world than living a dream. Maybe if my dreams became reality than this would be a hundred.
  • Artistic Interests. I'm not talented artistically but I definitely appreciate people who are.
  • Emotionality. This should definitely be higher. I think I know myself well enough for this to be higher.
  • Adventurousness. Okay I guess I could say it's average but it has definitely started to increase the past few years.
  • Intellect. I just don't mind scoring low here. I mean I'm sporty and being an intellectual person isn't sporty.
  • Liberalism. I like the idea here but it's definitely hard for me to say what grade I deserve. 

So there you go. I hope you guys enjoyed reading my test results, in fact you guys should try it out some time. It's definitely interesting and worth the effort!
