This report compares you to other women who are 61 or older in United States. It analyses you based on each of the five broad personality domains of the Five-Factor Model (Goldberg, L R. 1999), and the six sub domains at each level.


Neuroticism
You are generally calm and composed, reacting moderately well to situations that most people would describe as stressful. You are generally calm, although some situations can make you feel anxious or tense. You rarely get angry and it takes a lot to make you angry. You very rarely feel depressed and are usually in a good frame of mind. You are sensitive about what others think of you. Your concern about rejection and ridicule cause you to feel shy and uncomfortable around others. [I am shy around others, but not for that reason.] You are easily embarrassed and often feel ashamed. [Nope.] Your fears that others will criticize or make fun of you are exaggerated and unrealistic [That is not a worry.], but your awkwardness and discomfort may make these fears a self-fulfilling prophecy. [My real problem is that I don't know how to "chit-chat". Without a specific topic, I get lost. I can't think of anything to say. That makes me awkward and uncomfortable.] You often resist any cravings or urges that you have, but sometimes you give in. You are poised, confident, and clear-thinking when stressed.


Extraversion
You are introverted, reserved, and quiet with a preference for solitude and solitary activities. Your socializing tends to be restricted to a few close friends. People generally perceive you as distant and reserved, and you do not usually reach out to others. You tend to feel overwhelmed by, and therefore actively avoid, large crowds. You often need privacy and time for yourself. You tend not to talk much and prefer to let others control the activities of groups. You lead a moderately paced life. You like some energetic activities, but also like to relax and take it easy. You love bright lights and hustle and bustle. You are likely to take risks and seek thrills. You have a generally cheerful disposition.


Openness To Experience
Novelty, variety, and change spice up your life and make you a curious, imaginative, and creative person. You are a moderately imaginative person who enjoys a good balance between the real world and fantasy. You love beauty, both in art and in nature. Sometimes you become easily involved and absorbed in artistic and natural events. You tend not to express your emotions openly [No - I do. Sometimes too much so.] and are sometimes not even aware of your own feelings. You are eager to try new activities, travel to foreign lands, and experience different things. You find familiarity and routine boring, and will take a new route home just because it is different. [Wow! How'd you know that?!] As a person who is open-minded to new and unusual ideas, you love to play with and think about ideas. You also like to debate intellectual issues and often enjoy riddles, puzzles and brain teasers. Often you exhibit a readiness to challenge authority, convention, and traditional values. Sometimes you feel a certain degree of hostility toward rules [No - I'm known as a rule-follower and a rule enforcer. I believe that you follow even a stupid rule until you get it changed.] and perhaps even enjoy ambiguity.


Agreeableness
People see you as tough, critical, and uncompromising and you have less concern with others' needs than with your own. [Um - no. I've historically hurt myself trying to make others happy.] You naturally assume that most people are fair, honest, and have good intentions. There are times when you believe that a certain amount of deception in social relationships is necessary, however you are mostly candid, frank and sincere. People find it moderately easy to relate to you. You do not particularly like helping other people. Requests for help feel like an imposition on your time. You do not enjoy confrontation, but you will stand up for yourself or push your point if you feel it is important. You feel superior to those around you and sometimes tend to be seen as arrogant by other people. You are not affected strongly by human suffering, priding yourself on making objective judgments based on reason. You are more concerned with truth and impartial justice than with mercy.


Conscientiousness
You are reasonably reliable, organized, and self-controlled. You are moderately confident that you can achieve the goals you set yourself. You are a reasonably organized person and like to have a certain amount of routine in your life. You have a strong sense of duty and obligation, and feel a moral obligation to do the right thing. Mostly you work towards achieving your best, although in some areas you are content just to get the job done. You have a reasonable amount of will-power and are able to follow through on tasks that you feel you need to complete. You can be distracted however and have been known to procrastinate. [No kidding....] You take your time when making decisions and will deliberate on all the possible consequences and alternatives.
