[@colin5197]

@Lee Collins i wrote this comment while immediately after taking the test so i wasn't in the best mind state tbh. Scoring high in Neuroticism just means you are more likely to feel negative emotions. But it's your choice how you react when you feel these emotions. Just take a deep breathe when you feel this and think it over before reacting.

Mine basically called me a piece of shit Like genuinely 3rd percentile on Conscientiousness, 11th on extraversion, 7th on agreeableness, and 70 something on neuroticism. And I’m like, well I did a free one that scored me quite high on openness, at least that should come through for me as my… 54th percentile, bang average So I worry a lot, have no drive, people don’t like me, and I probably wouldn’t even make for a good tortured artist (I’m being a little facetious, it can all be worked to your advantage I know)

[@mileswheeler8091]

Man. I greatly appreciate how straight forward the test was. It didn’t pull any punches, and there was basically zero fluff and psychobabble to make me feel good about myself. All the other personality tests on the market generally just tell you how wonderful and unique you are, instead of helping you identify the flaws and vices you might have. I scored pretty well, at least as I might define well, on most categories except for conscientiousness. It’s good to see it written out for me, and to see just how apathetic I am to work compared to other people. Definitely going to recommend this to others, thank you Dr. Peterson

[@Yoyimbo01]

Agreeableness: 87 - compassion 81 - politeness 85 Conscientiousness: 59 - industriousness 18 - orderliness 90 Extraversion: 80 - enthusiasm 92 - assertiveness 52 Neuroticism 31 - withdrawal 72 - volatility 7 Openness to experience: 80 - intellect 82 - openness 69 and I'm a man. Well, helps me explain why I am extremely sensitive to small perturbations in my immediate social environment. Let me tell you it can be quite exhausting.

[@CSSVirginia]

I recently had a rather intense conversation with someone. They mentioned the need to "change the world" several times. Each time they did I thought of Dr Peterson.

[@CaalamusTube]

Dburnage you know smiling, the actual physical act of smiling triggers the release of the same neurochemicals we associate with being "happy". Your pessimism is seemingly poisoning your perspective & you come of as rather paranoid & dramatic. When a Paranoid Schizophrenic is saying that to you... perhaps reflection is in order? "it's an attempt to lock humanity up in a dark room to push the buttons and pull the levers of a social hierarchy." $9 & 95 voluntary ¢ at a time ey? :P Calm down!

[@TomFranklinX]

Dburnage Would you rather have Peterson's tests lie in your face by telling you "you can be anything you want!"? It's like a card game, and Peterson is helping you to see what cards you have so you can play smarter.

[@CaalamusTube]

"When a Paranoid Schizophrenic is saying that to you... perhaps reflection is in order?" I'm the Paranoid Schizophrenic in that equation slick :P I didn't "undermine" your statement. I didn't "suggest" anything & you aren't nearly as astute as you imagine yourself to be. I clearly stated that I consider your post representative of a rather dramatic & paranoid bent... & I, being a Paranoid Schizophrenic, am of the mind that you must really be in bad shape if you seem paranoid & dramatic even to me. "insisting" ??? I've spoken to you a grand total of ONE times prior to this. What the fuck are you on about? I'll say it again, calm the fuck down. You're going to hurt yourself! Goofball! :P Your fixation on vocabulary betrays your lack of substance. Stop. No one is being "manipulative" either. I've been rather harsh & blunt, actually. When one is attempting to manipulate, it generally involves deception on some level. My cards are on the table. I simply want you to take stock of how silly you appear to some of us who are reading this puffed up, unsolicited criticism of a man *MUCH* greater than yourself. TL, DR "It must stink up there! Isn't it hot?"

[@conormccammon1587]

A note to anyone thinking of doing the UnderstandMyself test: don't be *too* self-critical. I did the test and it was only after I got back extreme numbers that I realised I had been rather harsh on myself. Just try to be realistic and balanced in your self-assessment :)

[@JordanBPeterson]

That's good advice, in general: treat yourself fairly. It's a moral necessity. You're not yours to torture or denigrate. No more so than anyone else.

[@conormccammon1587]

Jordan B Peterson couldn't have put it better. Thanks for all the work you do

[@danamorales2427]

I had a similar outcome. I did not realize how negatively skewed my self-assessment was until I saw the results. Carnage! Good test though. I like how detailed it is. Thanks, Dr. Peterson for all your great work! Much appreciated.

[@zZGu177aum3Zz]

Oh god yes. I just finished the test and I ended up with 2 in Conscientiousness. while I agree with all other traits, I really hope it indeed is because I was too harsh on myself.

[@conormccammon1587]

IGull my conscientiousness score was really harsh too 😂

[@matthewkincaid3648]

I understand your reasoning behind only allowing a single test per person. I hope that you might find a way for people to take it several times over the course of several years, perhaps in the form of a downloadable form that will not affect your numbers, particularly when overcoming addictions and habits to see actual changes in personality through adversity and hardship. My personal reasoning is that I recently overcame an eight year, severe drug addiction, am currently in the process of quitting nicotine, and would like to see a change in how I see myself and my personality from now, to 6 months from now, and so on. Thank you.

[@JoeBriefcase]

You can do the IPIP-NEO, which is quite an extensive 300-item test, for free. It's also based on the big five but breaks the traits down somewhat differently into 6 subdomains. You can find it on google.

[@TimoNaaro]

A huge problem i see is that mainly human mind is so that if you do the same questions again you will propably unknowingly lie in the direction that benefits the kind of change you want to see in yourself. Then if you ask those questions in other ways then they don't excatly measure the same thing.

[@carrotplum6935]

Matthew Kincaid my hero, great work, keep it up!

[@Hbmd3E]

I was thinking may happen even in first time taking test, lying to your self and others; because wanting to be some type of person. ( like eastwood ) Then other thing is there is also huge effect on society and programming how you should be and act.. 3. How can you answer if you are lost and dont know your self yet. I lets say individuation process is not happened. 4. can it be that some who score high in neuroticm are just losing in this point in life and then there is also brokeness if there is abuse and beating in life, real you is not manifesting. Then in the after when your wounds are healed completely different person emerges. And when you have tools to manage in life.

[@familyfriendlyhatespeech678]

It would be easy for them to only use your first take for their normalization and ignore the later ones. Then people could be allowed to retake it at their own responsibility for biases and a less valid result. This would imo be the most fair option considering one has paid for it.

Just took the test and I don’t think I’ve read anything in life that has made me that uncomfortable. I scored a 10 in conscientiousness. I turned 36 in 2 days. Time to reinvent myself-I’ve done a lot to start in the past few months: quit smoking weed, got a 40 hour a week job (been a gigging musician for years and moderately successful, but it hasn’t turned me into the man I want to be), and been a lot more responsible. Thank you for this, Jordan.

[@Constantinesis]

That weird because most people I heard had very weird scoring. There could be something wrong with the test.

[@11283brandyl]

I got a 10 in conscientiousness as well which shocked me because I always work, I care deeply about working hard, that I do my work correctly and I'm a rule follower....... but I'm also a procrastinator, I'm always late and I'm a daydreamer that would rather be on the beach. 😂 So, I guess it's not too far off base.

[@penny2495]

I took the test and am 99th in neuroticism, withdrawal and volatility. 1st in conscientiousness, industriousness and enthusiasm. Basically the worst scores in the good stuff and the best scores in the bad stuff. So if you want to feel better about yourself I’ll send you my pdf. Pretty confronting.

[@Jacckwaite]

Scored in the 0th percentile for agreeableness. I now understand why I have very few friends and see everyone as competition. Great stuff love it Dr. Peterson. Thank you for the help to sort myself.

[@JordanBPeterson]

One thing that might help: make it a habit to think hard about something you could do for someone else once a week (and, of course, make it a habit to do it). That way you can expand your personality. You could retain the utility of being competitive and straightforward and tough but leaven it with some learned compassion. There is evidence, by the way, that such exercises improve the quality of life for people who do them.

My grandfather was a child psychologist at the Menninger clinic for 20+ years, and made a major departure from psychoanalytic conventions of the time when he started focusing on the importance of the individual in the context of the family (a dimension that was not considered important by many of his colleagues at that time). He was ahead of his time in his thinking, and died before he could really flesh out his psychoanalytic theories in private practice towards the end of his life. I believe he would have found the work you are doing as extremely valuable and interesting.

I've taken both free tests and the one Jordan Peterson is talking about here and I definitely feel this one is better. The other tests had some questions that were hard to answer accurately as they were really two questions. Like do you make plans and stick to them. I make plans but don't stick to them so there's no way to answer that question. Also, this particular test uses slightly different sub facets for each trait and I feel they are more accurate.

[@dizzymisslizzay5800]

[@mariaurbel]

Thank you to everyone who worked on this and have given us another opportunity to get some interesting insights about ourselves. I have taken the test and have some thoughts and wonder if there's anyone here who would care to think along and perhaps help me out. My results: Agreeableness - 94 Compassion - 95 Politeness - 85 Conscientiousness - 66 Industriousness - 44 Orderliness - 80 Extraversion - 16 Enthusiasm - 13 Assertiveness - 26 Neuroticism - 31 Withdrawal - 72 Volatility - 7 Openness to Experience- 99 Intellect - 97 Openness - 97 My extraversion and enthusiasm are particularly low and I have come to think of it as that I don't really love people as much as I would like to think I do. It makes me feel bad. And on the other hand a part of me feels that I very much do love them, the compassion score might reflect that. The ones who I do let close soon discover my deep warmth for them and my closest tell me it is like a flood. This is how I feel inside myself - I sometimes want to flood people with my warmth. I also work with people on a daily basis and have a lot of interest in the human mind. I sometimes feel like my compassion is very detached though, despite my work involving helping others directly. Additionally, I think I treat people like books - extremely interesting books to look into but not make friends with. It confuses people around me a lot, especially new ones. I can cheerily introduce myself to someone only to ask a few very enthusiastic questions, make them feel like they are indeed very interesting to me, and then disappear and never care for having them as friends. I have been feeling really guilty about this an this is the bit I'm not sure how to approach. I do this to friends as well. I wish them all the best with all my heart and help out whenever I am able, but I don't want to be around them so much. There are very few people with whom I find communicating continually engaging. Also, the extreme agreeableness score: I am able to look at things from very many angles and if needed look at a situation from the standpoint of everyone involved and this makes it very difficult to express my true opinion, which I, despite understanding everyone, still do have. In my head I am quite opinionated, have very clear views but struggle to say them out loud. What is the best way to learn to do it more/better? My gratitude to anyone who cares to share any thoughts.

[@mariaurbel]

[@Kauffmann92]

This is interesting, especially because I somewhat do the same: I can show a lot of interest (and actually be interested) in someone and after talking and doing things I can easily just forget this person. Well, this is not the case for my partner and two best friends of mine but otherwise it is. Since english is not my prefered language I try to make it short and easy: Maybe you are nice to people so they can feel good and make the best of themselves. Maybe it gives you a good feeling. But there is a but: But you know all this is not actually easy. It is easy to make ,mistakes' though. Being long enough around someone makes it easier for your "bad-me" to come out and spread chaos or whatever disease. Your solution: Be your best as long as you can around people. If cannot be the best anymore run away and recharge your social-battery. I hope you know what I mean.

Just wanted to point out that the Big 5 spell out OCEAN. That's likely obvious but a neat coincidence.

[@emmalikesflowers]

CapnCrinklepants thanks for that, it seems a perfectly apt way to describe humans- there is so much contained within us we are like oceans. And it’s interesting to note that Buddhists call this life Samsara which means ocean of suffering. Also, your acronym makes it easier to remember the groups💐

I think that was on purpose (Jordan has noted it before as 'OCEAN', it's how you remember the traits, I suppose). I never use such methods, myself, I just directly remember the items themselves (or forget them).

[@d2xr]

Im pretty sure thats how it was designed

[@benne017]

For the last five years I've been giving vouchers out to my friends to help them understand themselves and their spouses. On occasion it demoralizes a person but I always encourage and remind them that once they center on their virtues and their faults, they can identify where their major weaknesses are and get to work.

[@finalcountdown3210]

Thank you Dr. Peterson and team for this assessment. Brings some much needed insight

[@Mahaveez]

I would also add that this sort of perspective on a personality could be useful for further developing a fictional character in the storymaking process. Once you have a relatable character's defining experiences and reactions to them, these traits--originally designed to explain an existing personality--can also define an imaginary personality meaningfully. That will, I think, make it easier (for more orderly writers) to consider how their creations will react to totally novel situations.

[@thekolonel5551]

I am low intellect and industriousness. I am not a fan of doing complex tasks and have a hard time with self discipline. I sort of knew these things about myself, but I wanted to take this test to see how I ranged in the big 5 (instead of just assuming what I might be). I wanted to measure if I am how I see myself, which shows I am honest with myself for the most part, at least. But I know I need work and the personality test helped push me a step further into self-improvement. I have been wandering for a purpose and I have finally committed to This goal instead of viewing it as a side quest. My own self, productivity, and future are important enough for my full attention. I plan to use the self authoring programs in the future as well. Thank you for everything Mr. Peterson.

Learning so much from the test results. Very insightful and interesting. Good advice about taking test away from distractions etc to get accurate results.

[@martiuscastle]

You got me in "hi everyone so". I'm in!

[@polarbearchess1742]

I did the test, there were a couple of things that were highlighted which made the test worthwhile. The results of the test are most powerful when it analyses how various traits interact with one another. E.g., being less assertive, more agreeable and more compassionate will mean you are less likely to negotiate with your boss at work so you will end up with a lower salary. Highlighting all of the various combinations like this would be really valuable. One criticism I have however was the lack of detail in the questions which tended to make the test confusing. There were a lot of times I thought "the answer to that question really depends on X or Y, if it is X then I agree, if it is Y I tend to disagree", so I would just pick the middle of the road as I was uncertain what was actually being asked. Overall it was good though, I recommend it. Even if you get a few things from the test it is enough to justify the time and expenditure. Knowing what your strengths and flaws are could help change your life.

[@toddholzman9651]

Jordan - thank you for creating this for the world and for not pretending this wasn’t a promotional video. But I must say, it was at least one of the most educational promotional videos I’ve ever seen. Fantastic and best synthesis of the Big Five I’ve ever heard. Hats off to you professor! Thank u sir!

[@estherwiskel6550]

Dr Peterson keeps raising the bar and I pray his intellectual and personal goals are acknowledged. He is providing a program that anyone who wants personal awareness of ‘the self ‘ is easily available and at a very minimum cost. The program should be applied in high schools and repeated when in further education to measure growth, or just for the hell of it, to be aware of yourself. I am amazed at Dr Peterson’s quest to inform, educate, and influence with tools for a better society. He’s goal in my opinion is very benevolent even if it is taxing for him. I support his quest “to make a difference” and contribute at great efforts to help ourselves with what he is offering, a great opportunity for growth.

I've capitulated and taken the test: spot on, really accurate. Sadly, I wish sometimes I could've understood so much more about me sooner, and really for success of other's sake.

[@conormccammon1587]

A tentative suggestion for Dr Peterson: perhaps you could design a way for people to retake the personality test later on without it going into the pool of responses from which the research results and relative scores are derived? It would be really helpful for people to be able to retake the test after some time to see if they've been able to develop as a person, and that needn't affect the integrity of the test's results! :)

[@lucaschiasson5399]

I purchased the test yesterday and completed it immediately, curious to see my results. Some of what I saw confirmed what I already consciously knew of myself, and still more revealed what perhaps I already knew on some level, yet was too uncomfortable to face. Specifically, I found I am moderately low in conscientiousness. This result actually explains a lot of my life experience thus far, me being a person who flits from project to project, excited for what each one could become but never having the commitment to see them through to the end. In fact I was beginning to worry that I'd be like this forever, and would never amount to much, being learned in everything yet accomplished in nothing. Seeing this result has eased my mind greatly, for now I know that this behaviour of mine doesn't mean I am defective in any way, but is just a result of my human personality, explicable by our modern science of understanding our minds. I also know that I am not doomed to this fate, that we can expand the range of our own traits and become fuller, more effective people. I think Mr. Peterson described that as the development of wisdom. Thank you Jordan Peterson, and keep up the good work. It's important for all of us.

[@patrickdemarta]

I did the test. English is not my mother tongue, but I think I had no problem in understanding the assessment's questions, with a couple of dictionary checks. I had some food, no interruptions, I took my time to answer the most honestly I could. I also could not pause my chronic anxiety and mild depression, so I'll take it in account with the results. No big surprises there. But anyway it's really interesting to see them charted in a 5 dimensions net. I'm 50, biologist who got a late PhD in Biotechnologies, who's been working as programmer for the last 10 y; definitely not a career seeker. I feel I can understand how my major traits of very high agreeableness, extremely high neuroticism, moderately low conscientiousness, moderately high extraversion, extremely high openness to experience picture the mess I'm in. But I feel good looking at the chart... Now I feel I know which node has to be pulled out (orderliness) and which other I'd push down (agreableness) ... this is my two-sided battle plan to try reducing both the neuroticism aspects, which are really freezing my existence. Thank you so much Dr. Peterson (and all collaborators) ! Agreableness 93 Compassion 93 Politeness 85 Conscientiousness 35 Industriousness 62 Orderliness 16 Extraversion 75 Enthusiasm 75 Assertiveness 68 Neuroticism 97 Withdrawal 86 Volatility 99 Openness to Experience 99 Intellect 97 Openness 97

[@Viemexis]

Just did it. I like the way the usual 5 are split, but my orderliness results seemed dubious. My result is 1, but my apartment is pretty clean, my bookshelf is organized by subject, my hard drive is organized, I have a steady job, I never miss appointments, I rarely cancel plans with people. I like personality theory but I’m sometimes perplexed that it mostly seems to study peoples’ sentiments, not their actions. For instance, there were questions asking if I was annoyed by clutter (no, not really) but no questions asking if I stand people up or let dishes pile up in my sink (never!). I would say I'm a 'naturally' messy person has developed a healthy amount of order due to discipline (which I would say is a virtue, not a personality trait). Maybe the test just needs more questions if you're going to try and measure 10 traits?

[@marigam]

[@shimmeringreen]

Interesting point you raised, because if there is a difference in peoples sentiments and their actions, the reality is always in their actions.
