OPEN

Curious, Creative

How you gather Information

Open

As a curious person, you see the world as an intellectual opportunity. Learning is a joy, a pursuit of knowledge and understanding.

Rather than conventional thinking, you’re drawn to new and complex ideas that ignite your imagination.

Your reflective nature brings an awareness of inner thoughts and feelings.

Life is a journey of discovery. You're drawn to art and music, resonating with the echoes of creative expression. Trying new activities, breaking free from routine, fuels your sense of exploration.

Yet things are never that simple.

Embracing new possibilities often leads to setbacks and unwanted results. But new experiences are a pathway to growth in a world of change.

CONSCIENTIOUS

Organized, Disciplined

How you exercise Control

Conscientious

You work to bring order to life. Rather than keeping options open, you're organized and prefer structure and schedules.

You respect authority, and consistently fulfill your obligations to systems and people. Your deliberate nature means you carefully ponder decisions in advance, seeking to avoid mistakes.

You are disciplined and motivated by what you want to achieve. So you avoid distractions and see things through to completion, even when they're difficult or boring.

Your dedication leads to accomplishment, and a sense of purpose.

Of course, a strong desire for control has drawbacks. Sometimes you’re preoccupied with details at the expense of the big picture, or doggedly pursue unnecessary goals.

But your conscientiousness serves you well, driving you onward to a life of security and success.

EXTRAVERTED

Energetic, Sociable

How you Engage with the world

Extraverted

Your world is filled with activity and stimulating environments. You take life at a fast pace.

Staying busy and doing more makes you feel good.

It's easy for you to reach out to others, and are enthusiastic about making new connections.

When you're with people you speak up, readily sharing your thoughts. You’re assertive and tend to influence others.

This energetic way of life can lead to burnout sometimes.

But when you slow down or spend too much time alone, you may become easily bored. So you plunge into the world again - with zest!

AGREEABLE

Cooperative, Sympathetic

How you Collaborate with others

Agreeable

Your compassionate nature means you approach life with a desire to cooperate.

This means you are humble and polite in your interactions.

You’re always ready to find common ground, supported by a firm commitment to work together. You believe in a shared responsibility to look for the good in each other.

You’re trusting, and it’s easy for you to sympathize. This allows you to build sincere and supportive relationships.

Because you don’t like to win if someone else loses, it’s not easy to advocate for yourself.

But your unwavering belief in cooperation shines through your life and your actions.

NERVOUS

Tense, Vigilant

How you perceive Threats

Nervous

You hold a tense energy, keeping you vigilant and alert.

You feel a heightened awareness, scanning the horizon for threats. This makes you sensitive to potential problems that others might overlook.

You can get temperamental, which can lead you to feel irritated by complications or setbacks.

But your emotions provide an awareness of when things aren’t good enough.

While it can be challenging at times, this intensity has benefits too.

Your emotions can fuel a push to be more careful, or be better prepared. They serve you well, and can be the spark for something better.
