I scored 97% on Neuroticism, that is essentially your sensitivity to negative emotions. To be fair...
I'm fairly Extroverted, which is sensitivity to positive emotions, but I'm more Neurotic than I am Extroverted. Which means that I am more sensitive to negative emotions than my sensitivity is to positive emotions.
I'm also high in Agreeableness, which basically means that I'm submissive as fuck and not assertive to get my way (which is pretty accurate). I also tend to be very empathetic towards others which is also a part of Agreeableness, some psychologists tried to re-brand Agreeableness as "Emotional intelligence" or "EQ", but that's just a way of shaming apathetic people.
I also scored very high in Openness to Experience, maybe this is why I like Asian stuff so much.
Also, I scored low in Conscientiousness, this essentially means that I'm a lazy fuck (also, pretty accurate).
I like the Big 5 because studies and meta-analyses based on them are more replicable than many other psychological studies. I'm almost a Narcissist, as they tend to be high Neuroticism, high Extroversion, high Openness to Experience, and low Agreeableness. I'm high on the latter. This is why I often wonder if I might be a narcissist, but whenever I take tests to see if I am I always fail them.
I've been thinking more about social segregation lately, for example people only associating with those on their level of intelligence, their political beliefs, their worldviews in general, Etc. Note that this is an actual personality test and not a Myers-Briggs personality horoscope.
I expected to score the way that I did, although I had hoped that I would score at least "average" on Conscientiousness, but my room is a mess so I could expected the results. But scoring 97% on Neuroticism basically guarantees a life of depression and anxiety.
Also note that the combination of high Neuroticism and high Openness to Experience is essentially "the suicide personality", it is extremely rare to score high on both and not have had any suicidal thoughts.
Overall I'm not surprised with these results.
