Big Five personality traits

FiveThirtyEight did an interesting feature about personality quizzes and the science behind them. They settled on a test for the Big Five personality traits as one that is based on actual science.

Interestingly the B5 are supposed to be stable over time, which means it is a solid descriptor of a person.

Because I like collecting data about myself I went and took the test 538 linked to in their article: Dr Soto’s Understand Yourself test. Here are my results. Make of them what you want.
