> ***For me -I cannot be only one way in all situations at all times -because from my late adulthood life experiences - I have learned the hard way - that it is never a good idea to ignore how best one must "perform" to get the best results from whatever environment you are currently "operating" in. > ***So here are my answers: > > Extroversion: one's tendency to be sociable, talkative and assertive. Extroverts have a need to be around others, a need to be sociable. They gain their energy by talking, socializing and working with others. Those who score low on extroversion are considered introverted. An introvert prefers having space, either physical or mental, to recover energy. They tend to pursue solitary activities such as quiet walks, reading, meditating or sharing time with a select few friends. > > GROUP AVERAGE: 2.40 > > MY AVERAGE: 2.50 > *** Extraverted only with others who share the same agenda, goals, or values as I. > > Agreeableness: one's tendency to be good-natured, cooperative, and caring. Agreeable people tend to want to reach out and help others, they are compassionate and giving. People low on agreeableness have less of a need to be liked by others. Some tend to be focused more upon their own needs than the needs of others. > > GROUP AVERAGE: 3.90 > > MY AVERAGE 4.10 > ***Agreeable only with others as just as agreeable as I. Have learned the hard way that being agreeable with others who are not has made me suffer one far way too many "burns". > > > Thoroughness: one's tendency to be diligent, well organized, persistent, and achievement oriented. Thorough people are those that are responsible and conscientious, and they manifest those qualities that we attribute to good workers. Those low on thoroughness are free spirits who do not feel encumbered by responsibility or being reliable. > > GROUP AVERAGE: 4.10 > > MY AVERAGE: 2.40 > ***I am severely thorough but only *when it comes to my personal values being at stake*. If what I clearly personally value is not what's at stake - then I could most likely care less. > > > Openness to experience: one's tendency to be creative, original, and open to new experiences. Open individuals have broad interests, they are imaginative and enjoy the aesthetic qualities of their surroundings. Those low on openness are conventional. These people feel most comfortable with traditional and well-established methods and topics. > > GROUP AVERAGE: 4.60 > > MY AVERAGE: 4.40 > ***Again, whether I am "open" to something new or prefer highly "closed" and traditional - all depends on what I value is at stake. > > Emotionality: one's tendency to be tense, insecure, and experience distress. Emotionality refers to the stability of a person's emotional response. People who are highly sensitive are bothered by the smallest stresses in life, while those low on emotionality are able to keep their composure, even under stressful situations. > > GROUP AVERAGE: 2.00 > > MY AVERAGE: 4.00 > ***This one depends upon how many efficient and effective number of "outlets" I have to deal with the stress. If I have 80 different options available to deal with a stressful situation, I am going to be much more calmm than if - say I had only 2 - that were also not very readily available or efficient enough to deal with whatever stress/pressure I am currently under the gun for at the moment. > > My Myers-Briggs type is INFP so this matches it just right. > ***Mine is traditionally INFP too - but when under pressure - I am starting to really clearly see it turns into ISTP or INTP - maybe INTJ if the situation really calls for it. > ISFP or ISTP when daydreaming. > ***Margaret
