Your Personality Profile
Print

Thank you for completing the questionnaire. You will see your scores below, along with some written feedback.

Your scores are expressed in sten (standard ten) scores, which reflect the normal distribution of the personality factors throughout the general population.

The average scores for the general population are scores of 5 or 6 and these scores are achieved by approximately 38% of people. Scores of 4 or 7 are achieved by a further 30%, scores of 3 and 8 by 18 %, scores of 2 and 9 by 9% and scores of 1 and 10 by approximately 5%.

Although scores are described in the text as 'high' or 'low' there are no right or wrong score directions and these labels are used for purely descriptive purposes. The brief summary below gives the factors, your scores and some indication of what your scores mean.

Agreeableness
You have obtained a score of 10 on the Agreeableness scale. This score shows that you are actually an extremely tender-minded person who is probably sensitive to other people's feelings. You probably place quite a high value on working within a team and you would be likely to try to find common ground with your colleagues. Both customers and your colleagues would be likely to see you as someone who was concerned to help and who was genuine and sincere in your dealings. However, you might sometimes find it difficult to deal with colleagues or customers who might be a little more abrasive in their style.

Conscientiousness
You have scored 7 on the Conscientious scale. This means that you would probably be a relatively well organised and structured worker who valued tidiness and order. You would expect other people to be committed to good standards and work practices, ranging from punctuality to following procedures correctly. You could probably be very meticulous if the need arose, and you would be able to work through detailed tasks in a methodical and structured way. This suggests that you would be suitable for any role that required you to closely monitor information or work consistently.

Conformity
You have achieved a score of 3 on the Conformity scale. This indicates that you are probably a reasonably unconventional person who does not like to totally conform. Therefore, you are probably often quite informal and might sometimes disregard what you see as the restrictive elements of convention when dealing with customers or colleagues in B&Q. You are probably quite an original thinker who enjoys the opportunity to develop new ideas. You are likely to be naturally inquisitive and would always try to understand what was going on around you. When it was feasible to do so you would probably introduce innovations into your duties, even if they were not always based on your own thoughts, but might feel that the emphasis placed on clear procedures by your B&Q colleagues was a little restrictive.

Extroversion
Your Extroversion scale score of 7 is above average and indicates that you are likely to be a friendly and gregarious person who would settle into any new social environment quite quickly. You probably enjoy having a wide range of social relationships and would probably want a job that offered you the chance for plenty of interpersonal contact with colleagues and customers.

You're probably quite open, with a fairly persuasive way of expressing yourself. Because you're likely to be quite convincing in your manner and well suited to roles requiring good social skills you would be likely to enjoy most jobs which required you to deal with other people. You're probably quite a competitive person who would respond positively to most challenges. Because public recognition would matter a great deal to you, you would probably want regular acknowledgements of your achievements.


Emotional Stability
You scored 9 on the Emotional Stability scale. It suggests that you are probably quite an assured individual who is fairly optimistic and positive in your outlook. When dealing with customers or work colleagues you are probably able to express your views with a confident authority. What's more, you are probably able to readily assert yourself when you think it's necessary to do so.

You're probably quite ambitious and would approach your job with enthusiasm, enjoying any role that placed you in a position of responsibility. You would probably be very decisive when faced with difficulties and generally would find it easy to make your own decisions quite quickly. In all likelihood you can cope fairly well with job associated stress. Indeed, you would probably work at your best if you were slightly pressurised.
