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 8 on the Agreeableness scale. This score means that you are actually quite a sensitive person. As such, you would probably be an intuitive and compassionate individual who was aware of your own and other people's emotions. You would usually be quite people-centred in your outlook and would be perceived by most people as genuine and sincere in your desire to do the best for them. You would probably be patient and supportive and willing to counsel and assist those around you. However, these aspects of your character could also mean that you sometimes found it quite difficult to deal with people who were brusque or off-hand in their manner and that might occasionally be unsettled by customers who behaved very forcefully.

Conscientiousness

You have scored 9 on the Conscientious scale. This is a high score and suggests that you are a very detail-minded individual who views order and organisation as very important qualities in the working environment. Self-discipline would probably be important to you and you would generally set yourself high standards of conduct and work. At the most basic level you would, for example, be punctual. You would be likely to expect your colleagues to share these standards and always to fulfil their commitments on time in a business-like way. Your methodical and schematic way of doing things means that you would probably be very good at most roles where you were expected to tackle tasks needing close attention.

Conformity

You have scored 4 on the Conformity scale. This suggests that you are, in all likelihood, a fairly unorthodox person who occasionally likes to be something of a non-conformist. You probably don't place the same high value on social convention as many of the people who work within B&Q, and some of your colleagues might see you as too informal in your dealings with customers. You're likely to be a fairly flexible and original thinker who would sometimes produce new and different ideas. You may well have an enquiring streak that means you are interested in many topics. When possible you probably try to introduce some form of innovation into the working environment and this could mean that you find the emphasis placed by your B&Q colleagues on following procedures was a little restrictive.

Extroversion

Your score of 5 on the Extroversion scale is average and indicates that you are likely to be fairly outgoing and friendly with a personable and sociable nature. Even so, when starting a new role it would probably take you a few weeks to fully settle in and establish good interpersonal relationships with your colleagues. However, despite the fact that you would probably enjoy the social aspects of working within a team, you might not always be as responsive to customers as many of the people who work for B&Q.

You probably have a degree of natural enthusiasm that would be stimulated and maintained by some variety at work. However, you would still value some routine and predictability in a job because of the stability that would offer, and might not enjoy the more hectic aspects of working in a B&Q store at busy times.

Emotional Stability

Your score of 8 on the Emotional Stability scale suggests that you are generally a fairly confident and optimistic person who would express your thoughts and ideas openly in most situations. You have quite a strong character which means that you could probably be quite assertive if you thought that you needed to be.

You're likely to be quite enthusiastic and would probably approach your work with a fair degree of ambition. You would probably be fairly decisive in most situations and if confronted with problems at work you would generally be able to make most decisions on your own without asking for help from your superiors. You are, in all probability, quite resistant to work related stress. Indeed, not only could you cope with most pressure, you might actually find that a limited amount of stress at work acted as a good motivating force.
