This report compares Rizka Diva Pratiwi from the country Indonesia to other
women of traditional college age.

This report estimates the individual's level on each of the five broad personality
domains of the Five-Factor Model. The description of each one of the five broad
domains is followed by a more detailed description of personality according to the
six subdomains that comprise each domain.

A note on terminology. Personality traits describe, relative to other people, the

frequency or intensity of a person's feelings, thoughts, or behaviors. Possession of
a trait is therefore a matter of degree. We might describe two individuals
as extraverts, but still see one as more extraverted than the other. This report uses
expressions such as "extravert" or "high in extraversion" to describe someone who
is likely to be seen by others as relatively extraverted. The computer program that
generates this report classifies you as low, average, or high in a trait according to
whether your score is approximately in the lowest 30%, middle 40%, or highest
30% of scores obtained by people of your sex and roughly your age. Your
numerical scores are reported and graphed as percentile estimates. For example, a
score of "60" means that your level on that trait is estimated to be higher than 60%
of persons of your sex and age.

Please keep in mind that "low," "average," and "high" scores on a personality test
are neither absolutely good nor bad. A particular level on any trait will probably be
neutral or irrelevant for a great many activities, be helpful for accomplishing some
things, and detrimental for accomplishing other things. As with any personality
inventory, scores and descriptions can only approximate an individual's actual
personality. High and low score descriptions are usually accurate, but average
scores close to the low or high boundaries might misclassify you as only average.
On each set of six subdomain scales it is somewhat uncommon but certainly
possible to score high in some of the subdomains and low in the others. In such
cases more attention should be paid to the subdomain scores than to the broad
Rizka Diva Pratiwi

domain score. Questions about the accuracy of your results are best resolved by
showing your report to people who know you well.

John A. Johnson wrote descriptions of the five domains and thirty subdomains.
These descriptions are based on an extensive reading of the scientific literature on
personality measurement. Although Dr. Johnson would like to be acknowledged as
the author of these materials if they are reproduced, he has placed them in the
public domain.

Extraversion
Extraversion is marked by pronounced engagement with the external world.
Extraverts enjoy being with people, are full of energy, and often experience
positive emotions. They tend to be enthusiastic, action-oriented, individuals who
are likely to say "Yes!" or "Let's go!" to opportunities for excitement. In groups
they like to talk, assert themselves, and draw attention to themselves.

Introverts lack the exuberance, energy, and activity levels of extraverts. They tend
to be quiet, low-key, deliberate, and disengaged from the social world. Their lack
of social involvement should not be interpreted as shyness or depression; the
introvert simply needs less stimulation than an extravert and prefers to be alone.
The independence and reserve of the introvert is sometimes mistaken as
unfriendliness or arrogance. In reality, an introvert who scores high on the
agreeableness dimension will not seek others out but will be quite pleasant when
approached.

Extraversion Facets
Rizka Diva Pratiwi

 Friendliness. Friendly people genuinely like other people and openly

demonstrate positive feelings toward others. They make friends quickly and
it is easy for them to form close, intimate relationships. Low scorers on
Friendliness are not necessarily cold and hostile, but they do not reach out to
others and are perceived as distant and reserved. Your level of friendliness is
high.
 Gregariousness. Gregarious people find the company of others pleasantly
stimulating and rewarding. They enjoy the excitement of crowds. Low
scorers tend to feel overwhelmed by, and therefore actively avoid, large
crowds. They do not necessarily dislike being with people sometimes, but
their need for privacy and time to themselves is much greater than for
individuals who score high on this scale. Your level of gregariousness is
average.
 Assertiveness. High scorers Assertiveness like to speak out, take charge, and
direct the activities of others. They tend to be leaders in groups. Low scorers
tend not to talk much and let others control the activities of groups. Your
level of assertiveness is high.
 Activity Level. Active individuals lead fast-paced, busy lives. They move
about quickly, energetically, and vigorously, and they are involved in many
activities. People who score low on this scale follow a slower and more
leisurely, relaxed pace. Your activity level is high.
 Excitement-Seeking. High scorers on this scale are easily bored without high
levels of stimulation. They love bright lights and hustle and bustle. They are
likely to take risks and seek thrills. Low scorers are overwhelmed by noise
and commotion and are adverse to thrill-seeking. Your level of excitement-
seeking is average.
 Cheerfulness. This scale measures positive mood and feelings, not negative
emotions (which are a part of the Neuroticism domain). Persons who score
high on this scale typically experience a range of positive feelings, including
happiness, enthusiasm, optimism, and joy. Low scorers are not as prone to
such energetic, high spirits. Your level of positive emotions is average.

Agreeableness
Agreeableness reflects individual differences in concern with cooperation and
social harmony. Agreeable individuals value getting along with others. They are
therefore considerate, friendly, generous, helpful, and willing to compromise their
interests with others'. Agreeable people also have an optimistic view of human
nature. They believe people are basically honest, decent, and trustworthy.

Disagreeable individuals place self-interest above getting along with others. They
are generally unconcerned with others' well-being, and therefore are unlikely to
extend themselves for other people. Sometimes their skepticism about others'
motives causes them to be suspicious, unfriendly, and uncooperative.
Rizka Diva Pratiwi

Agreeableness is obviously advantageous for attaining and maintaining popularity.

Agreeable people are better liked than disagreeable people. On the other hand,
agreeableness is not useful in situations that require tough or absolute objective
decisions. Disagreeable people can make excellent scientists, critics, or soldiers.

Your level of Agreeableness is average, indicating some concern with others'

Needs, but, generally, unwillingness to sacrifice yourself for others.

Agreeableness Facets

 Trust. A person with high trust assumes that most people are fair, honest,
and have good intentions. Persons low in trust see others as selfish, devious,
and potentially dangerous. Your level of trust is average.
 Morality. High scorers on this scale see no need for pretense or
manipulation when dealing with others and are therefore candid, frank, and
sincere. Low scorers believe that a certain amount of deception in social
relationships is necessary. People find it relatively easy to relate to the
straightforward high-scorers on this scale. They generally find it more
difficult to relate to the unstraightforward low-scorers on this scale. It
should be made clear that low scorers are not unprincipled or immoral; they
are simply more guarded and less willing to openly reveal the whole truth.
Your level of morality is average.
 Altruism. Altruistic people find helping other people genuinely rewarding.
Consequently, they are generally willing to assist those who are in need.
Altruistic people find that doing things for others is a form of self-
fulfillment rather than self-sacrifice. Low scorers on this scale do not
particularly like helping those in need. Requests for help feel like an
imposition rather than an opportunity for self-fulfillment. Your level of
altruism is high.
 Cooperation. Individuals who score high on this scale dislike
confrontations. They are perfectly willing to compromise or to deny their
own needs in order to get along with others. Those who score low on this
Rizka Diva Pratiwi

scale are more likely to intimidate others to get their way. Your level of
cooperation is average.
 Modesty. High scorers on this scale do not like to claim that they are better
than other people. In some cases this attitude may derive from low self-
confidence or self-esteem. Nonetheless, some people with high self-esteem
find immodesty unseemly. Those who are willing to describe themselves as
superior tend to be seen as disagreeably arrogant by other people. Your level
of modesty is low.
 Sympathy. People who score high on this scale are tenderhearted and
compassionate. They feel the pain of others vicariously and are easily
moved to pity. Low scorers are not affected strongly by human suffering.
They pride themselves on making objective judgments based on reason.
They are more concerned with truth and impartial justice than with mercy.
Your level of tender-mindedness is average.

Conscientiousness
Conscientiousness concerns the way in which we control, regulate, and direct our
impulses. Impulses are not inherently bad; occasionally time constraints require a
snap decision, and acting on our first impulse can be an effective response. Also, in
times of play rather than work, acting spontaneously and impulsively can be fun.
Impulsive individuals can be seen by others as colorful, fun-to-be-with, and zany.

Nonetheless, acting on impulse can lead to trouble in a number of ways. Some

impulses are antisocial. Uncontrolled antisocial acts not only harm other members
of society, but also can result in retribution toward the perpetrator of such
impulsive acts. Another problem with impulsive acts is that they often produce
immediate rewards but undesirable, long-term consequences. Examples include
excessive socializing that leads to being fired from one's job, hurling an insult that
causes the breakup of an important relationship, or using pleasure-inducing drugs
that eventually destroy one's health.

Impulsive behavior, even when not seriously destructive, diminishes a person's

effectiveness in significant ways. Acting impulsively disallows contemplating
alternative courses of action, some of which would have been wiser than the
impulsive choice. Impulsivity also sidetracks people during projects that require
organized sequences of steps or stages. Accomplishments of an impulsive person
are therefore small, scattered, and inconsistent.

A hallmark of intelligence, what potentially separates human beings from earlier

life forms, is the ability to think about future consequences before acting on an
impulse. Intelligent activity involves contemplation of long-range goals,
organizing and planning routes to these goals, and persisting toward one's goals in
the face of short-lived impulses to the contrary. The idea that intelligence involves
impulse control is nicely captured by the term prudence, an alternative label for the
Rizka Diva Pratiwi

Conscientiousness domain. Prudent means both wise and cautious. Persons who
score high on the Conscientiousness scale are, in fact, perceived by others as
intelligent.

The benefits of high conscientiousness are obvious. Conscientious individuals

avoid trouble and achieve high levels of success through purposeful planning and
persistence. They are also positively regarded by others as intelligent and reliable.
On the negative side, they can be compulsive perfectionists and workaholics.
Furthermore, extremely conscientious individuals might be regarded as stuffy and
boring. Unconscientious people may be criticized for their unreliability, lack of
ambition, and failure to stay within the lines, but they will experience many short-
lived pleasures and they will never be called stuffy.

Your score on Conscientiousness is high. This means you set clear goals and
pursue them with determination. People regard you as reliable and hard-working.

Conscientiousness Facets

 Self-Efficacy. Self-Efficacy describes confidence in one's ability to

accomplish things. High scorers believe they have the intelligence (common
sense), drive, and self-control necessary for achieving success. Low scorers
do not feel effective, and may have a sense that they are not in control of
their lives. Your level of self-efficacy is high.
 Orderliness. Persons with high scores on orderliness are well-organized.
They like to live according to routines and schedules. They keep lists and
make plans. Low scorers tend to be disorganized and scattered. Your level
of orderliness is high.
 Dutifulness. This scale reflects the strength of a person's sense of duty and
obligation. Those who score high on this scale have a strong sense of moral
obligation. Low scorers find contracts, rules, and regulations overly
confining. They are likely to be seen as unreliable or even irresponsible.
Your level of dutifulness is high.
Rizka Diva Pratiwi

 Achievement-Striving. Individuals who score high on this scale strive hard to

achieve excellence. Their drive to be recognized as successful keeps them
on track toward their lofty goals. They often have a strong sense of direction
in life, but extremely high scores may be too single-minded and obsessed
with their work. Low scorers are content to get by with a minimal amount of
work, and might be seen by others as lazy. Your level of achievement
striving is high.
 Self-Discipline. Self-discipline-what many people call will-power-refers to
the ability to persist at difficult or unpleasant tasks until they are completed.
People who possess high self-discipline are able to overcome reluctance to
begin tasks and stay on track despite distractions. Those with low self-
discipline procrastinate and show poor follow-through, often failing to
complete tasks-even tasks they want very much to complete. Your level of
self-discipline is high.
 Cautiousness. Cautiousness describes the disposition to think through
possibilities before acting. High scorers on the Cautiousness scale take their
time when making decisions. Low scorers often say or do first thing that
comes to mind without deliberating alternatives and the probable
consequences of those alternatives. Your level of cautiousness is average.

Neuroticism
Freud originally used the term neurosis to describe a condition marked by mental
distress, emotional suffering, and an inability to cope effectively with the normal
demands of life. He suggested that everyone shows some signs of neurosis, but that
we differ in our degree of suffering and our specific symptoms of distress. Today
neuroticism refers to the tendency to experience negative feelings. Those who
score high on Neuroticism may experience primarily one specific negative feeling
such as anxiety, anger, or depression, but are likely to experience several of these
emotions. People high in neuroticism are emotionally reactive. They respond
emotionally to events that would not affect most people, and their reactions tend to
be more intense than normal. They are more likely to interpret ordinary situations
as threatening, and minor frustrations as hopelessly difficult. Their negative
emotional reactions tend to persist for unusually long periods of time, which means
they are often in a bad mood. These problems in emotional regulation can diminish
a neurotic's ability to think clearly, make decisions, and cope effectively with
stress.

At the other end of the scale, individuals who score low in neuroticism are less
easily upset and are less emotionally reactive. They tend to be calm, emotionally
stable, and free from persistent negative feelings. Freedom from negative feelings
does not mean that low scorers experience a lot of positive feelings; frequency of
positive emotions is a component of the Extraversion domain.

Your score on Neuroticism is low, indicating that you are exceptionally calm,
composed and unflappable. You do not react with intense emotions, even to
situations that most people would describe as stressful.

Neuroticism Facets

 Anxiety. The "fight-or-flight" system of the brain of anxious individuals is

too easily and too often engaged. Therefore, people who are high in anxiety
often feel like something dangerous is about to happen. They may be afraid
of specific situations or be just generally fearful. They feel tense, jittery, and
nervous. Persons low in Anxiety are generally calm and fearless. Your level
of anxiety is average.
 Anger. Persons who score high in Anger feel enraged when things do not go
their way. They are sensitive about being treated fairly and feel resentful and
bitter when they feel they are being cheated. This scale measures the
tendency to feel angry; whether or not the person expresses annoyance and
hostility depends on the individual's level on Agreeableness. Low scorers do
not get angry often or easily. Your level of anger is average.
 Depression. This scale measures the tendency to feel sad, dejected, and
discouraged. High scorers lack energy and have difficult initiating activities.
Low scorers tend to be free from these depressive feelings. Your level of
depression is average.
 Self-Consciousness. Self-conscious individuals are sensitive about what
others think of them. Their concern about rejection and ridicule cause them
to feel shy and uncomfortable around others. They are easily embarrassed
and often feel ashamed. Their fears that others will criticize or make fun of
them are exaggerated and unrealistic, but their awkwardness and discomfort
may make these fears a self-fulfilling prophecy. Low scorers, in contrast, do
not suffer from the mistaken impression that everyone is watching and
judging them. They do not feel nervous in social situations. Your level or
self-consciousness is low.
 Immoderation. Immoderate individuals feel strong cravings and urges that
they have have difficulty resisting. They tend to be oriented toward short-
term pleasures and rewards rather than long- term consequences. Low
Rizka Diva Pratiwi

scorers do not experience strong, irresistible cravings and consequently do

not find themselves tempted to overindulge. Your level of immoderation is
average.
 Vulnerability. High scorers on Vulnerability experience panic, confusion,
and helplessness when under pressure or stress. Low scorers feel more
poised, confident, and clear-thinking when stressed. Your level of
vulnerability is low.

Openness to Experience
Openness to Experience describes a dimension of cognitive style that distinguishes
imaginative, creative people from down-to-earth, conventional people. Open
people are intellectually curious, appreciative of art, and sensitive to beauty. They
tend to be, compared to closed people, more aware of their feelings. They tend to
think and act in individualistic and nonconforming ways. Intellectuals typically
score high on Openness to Experience; consequently, this factor has also been
called Culture or Intellect. Nonetheless, Intellect is probably best regarded as one
aspect of openness to experience. Scores on Openness to Experience are only
modestly related to years of education and scores on standard intelligent tests.

Another characteristic of the open cognitive style is a facility for thinking in

symbols and abstractions far removed from concrete experience. Depending on the
individual's specific intellectual abilities, this symbolic cognition may take the
form of mathematical, logical, or geometric thinking, artistic and metaphorical use
of language, music composition or performance, or one of the many visual or
performing arts. People with low scores on openness to experience tend to have
narrow, common interests. They prefer the plain, straightforward, and obvious over
the complex, ambiguous, and subtle. They may regard the arts and sciences with
suspicion, regarding these endeavors as abstruse or of no practical use. Closed
people prefer familiarity over novelty; they are conservative and resistant to
change.

Openness is often presented as healthier or more mature by psychologists, who are

often themselves open to experience. However, open and closed styles of thinking
are useful in different environments. The intellectual style of the open person may
serve a professor well, but research has shown that closed thinking is related to
superior job performance in police work, sales, and a number of service
occupations.

Your score on Openness to Experience is average, indicating you enjoy tradition

Openness Facets

 Imagination. To imaginative individuals, the real world is often too plain

and ordinary. High scorers on this scale use fantasy as a way of creating a
richer, more interesting world. Low scorers are on this scale are more
oriented to facts than fantasy. Your level of imagination is high.
 Artistic Interests. High scorers on this scale love beauty, both in art and in
nature. They become easily involved and absorbed in artistic and natural
events. They are not necessarily artistically trained nor talented, although
many will be. The defining features of this scale are interest in,
and appreciation of natural and artificial beauty. Low scorers lack aesthetic
sensitivity and interest in the arts. Your level of artistic interests is low.
 Emotionality. Persons high on Emotionality have good access to and
awareness of their own feelings. Low scorers are less aware of their feelings
and tend not to express their emotions openly. Your level of emotionality is
average.
 Adventurousness. High scorers on adventurousness are eager to try new
activities, travel to foreign lands, and experience different things. They find
familiarity and routine boring, and will take a new route home just because
it is different. Low scorers tend to feel uncomfortable with change and
prefer familiar routines. Your level of adventurousness is average.
 Intellect. Intellect and artistic interests are the two most important, central
aspects of openness to experience. High scorers on Intellect love to play
with ideas. They are open-minded to new and unusual ideas, and like to
debate intellectual issues. They enjoy riddles, puzzles, and brain teasers.
Low scorers on Intellect prefer dealing with either people or things rather
than ideas. They regard intellectual exercises as a waste of time. Intellect
should not be equated with intelligence. Intellect is an intellectual style, not
an intellectual ability, although high scorers on Intellect score slightly higher
than low-Intellect individuals on standardized intelligence tests. Your level
of intellect is average.
 Liberalism. Psychological liberalism refers to a readiness to challenge
authority, convention, and traditional values. In its most extreme form,
psychological liberalism can even represent outright hostility toward rules,
Rizka Diva Pratiwi

sympathy for law-breakers, and love of ambiguity, chaos, and disorder.

Psychological conservatives prefer the security and stability brought by
conformity to tradition. Psychological liberalism and conservatism are not
identical to political affiliation, but certainly incline individuals toward
certain political parties. Your level of liberalism is average.
