https://www.webtexts.com/courses/40459-cole/traditional_book/chapters/4453641-introduction-to-leadership/pages/4155521 2/3

Conscientiousness: organized, achievement-oriented, dependable

You scored moderately high on conscientiousness (33 out of 50).

You are likely described as responsible and reliable. You value routines and
structure because you recognize that they help keep things on track. However,
you’re also willing to cut others some slack; although you have high standards,
you don’t expect absolute perfection at all times. You give yourself time to relax
and have fun—occasionally.

Extraversion: outgoing, talkative, sociable

You scored high on extraversion (48 out of 50).

You are probably often described as enthusiastic, passionate, and social. You
likely have more positive emotions than negative ones and seek out fun and
excitement. In social situations, you’re often the one starting conversations,
and you’re more likely to speak up and be assertive or feel more comfortable
giving presentations.

Agreeableness: affable, tolerant, sensitive, trusting, kind

You scored moderately high on agreeableness (31 out of 50).

You’re probably described as kind and helpful. You prefer to avoid conflict and
will often dodge situations or conversations that may upset other people.
However, if confronted directly, you can speak up or stand your ground, though
you may try to smooth things over afterward.

Neuroticism: anxious, irritable, temperamental, moody

You scored moderately high on neuroticism (33 out of 50).

You’re likely to have a tendency to focus on the negative side of things,
although you’d probably describe yourself as a realist. While you may have
strong initial reactions, you can probably remain calm in most situations unless
you feel very passionate about the issue at hand or are under a lot of stress.
