The Big 5 Personality Test
Those who possess the Agreeable trait are known for their kind, compassionate and nurturing nature. These individuals require a career that allows them to support, attend to and care for others, as they long for a sense of purpose and are driven by their ability to make a difference to the world.
In an Agreeable’s work environment, there must be high levels of collaboration with plenty of opportunities that are challenging, yet very personally rewarding. This trait embodies a natural talent of keeping order and managing, whilst almost having great people skills and charisma.
Extraversions are known for being assertive, persuasive and optimistic, with a high value for personal growth and a persistence to continue to develop their skill set. They are social creatures with hard-working natures, thrive in team environments that are not always constrained to an office environment and require a workplace that allows them to achieve their personal development goals.
These individuals are always on the lookout for new opportunities, and are very capable when working in leadership positions.
Thinkers are known for their ability to be calm under pressure and analyse complex situations to come up with different solutions. With a love to tackle challenges that arise and a pragmatic and logical mindset, you’re perfect for careers that can help you determine ways of making the world a better place.
With an eye for change and innovation; Thinkers are known for their strong will and persistent search for new skills and knowledge. As a Thinker, you yearn for achievement and a work environment that understands your need to learn on the job and try new things.
These individuals are usually optimistic with bold personalities, and have a thirst for a career that allows them to embrace these qualities in an exciting work environment. The need to keep learning and staying challenged is also important.
Emotional, also known as Neuroticism, is a trait that has many negative connotations attached as it relates to an individual’s predisposition to demonstrating anxiety and negative feelings and emotions.
Contrary to belief, healthy neurotics have an ability to combine high-stress levels with high levels of attentiveness, which is a skill that most employers seek within a candidate. Individuals who identify with the Emotional trait are able to use the stress of a deadline or other work stressors to focus their mind and draw on their productivity, rather than allow these immense pressures to kill their drive.
Of course, this is all dependent on how that individual handles these stressors - high levels of neuroticism can cause stress in the workplace, which can then lead to both health and productivity issues.
