NFT: FiveThirtyEight: Personality test based on science

DanMetroMan : 2/18/2019 7:57 pm
What’s your personality, and what can it tell you about your true self? Those questions have launched a thousand online personality quizzes. But you can do better than those specious — yet irresistible — quizzes. You can take a personality quiz backed by science.

Meet the Big Five, the way most psychologists measure and test personality. It’s a system built on decades of research about how people describe one another and themselves. (You can read more about it in this article we published last year.) There are a couple of things that make it — and this quiz — different.

I think the biggest issue with Likert Scale personality tests

Is that users answer how they want to perceive themselves and not how they actually are. That’s not the fault of the test, though.
Pretty cool...

Thanks for sharing this. Love to see the personality comps of the entire Giants organization. Even more, love to see the entire NFL.
Thanks Dan.

That was fun.

It is hard to answer objectively. Tried my best. Will go back and try it again.

Openness to experience 58 out of 100

Agreeableness 17 out of 100

Conscientiousness 42 out of 10

Negative emotionality 38 out of 100

Extraversion 75 out of 100
These things are so silly, for example

People that view things in black and white are more likely to answer on the extreme ends of answers as opposed to people that see things in grey. Plus, most people lack the ability to accurately gauge any of these things. Now getting a score back from the ten people that know you would be interesting.

The zero was on negative emotionality, whatever that means
I feel like these are always changing  
BestFeature : 2/19/2019 9:53 pm : link
For example, in the last few months, I've been in a good place in my life. The negativity would definitely be lower than before that when I wasn't in that place.
I'm glad some other peeps with high negative emotionality responded  
BestFeature : 2/19/2019 10:04 pm : link
Because my high grade for negative emotionality would make me self conscious about sharing a high grade for negative emotionality, haha.

Anyway:

Openness to experience
79 out of 100
Agreeableness
79 out of 100
Conscientiousness
46 out of 100
Negative emotionality
71 out of 100
Extraversion
42 out of 100

Big 5 does a better job with extraversion I feel like than Myers Briggs. It takes into account assertiveness, which honestly drops me down a bit. Myers Briggs is only about sociability which means I always score high. But I think assertiveness is important too.

From what I hear people that score low on "openness to new experience" tend to be more on the conservative end. Whether that's good or bad I'll leave up to you.
can someone pin this thread
