Scoring Sheet
Instructions: Calculate your scores using the specific math string for each personality trait. The numbers in the parentheses are the item numbers.
The numbers in the parentheses tell you what score to write on the line. Each of these numbers correlate with the specific item number in the
test. For example, when you see “(6)” in the math string, this is a prompt for you to enter the number on the line that follows this with the
person’s answer choice for item #6. Be aware that there is addition and subtraction within all of the math strings. Each personality trait will have a
score between zero and forty.
Extroversion
Extroversion (E) is the personality trait of seeking fulfillment from sources outside the self or in community. High scorers tend to be very social
while low scorers prefer to work on their projects alone.
E = 20 + (1) _1__ - (6) __4_ + (11) __3_ - (16) _5__ + (21) _4__ - (26) _3__ + (31) _2__ - (36) _5__ + (41) _1__ - (46) _4__ = __10___
Agreeableness
Agreeableness (A) reflects how much individuals adjust their behavior to suit others. High scorers are typically polite and like people. Low scorers
tend to 'tell it like it is'.
A = 14 - (2) _1__ + (7) _4__ - (12) _1__ + (17) _5__ - (22) _3__ + (27) _5__ - (32) _3__ + (37) _3__ + (42) _5__ + (47) _4__ = __32___
Conscientiousness
Conscientiousness (C) is the personality trait of being honest and hardworking. High scorers tend to follow rules and prefer clean homes. Low
scorers may be messy and cheat others.
C = 14 + (3) _5__ - (8) _1__ + (13) _5__ - (18) _1__ + (23) _4__ - (28) _2__ + (33) _5__ - (38) _1__ + (43) _5__ + (48) _5__ = __38___
Neuroticism
Neuroticism (N) is the personality trait of being emotional. High scorers tend to have high emotional reactions to stress. They may perceive
situations as threatening and be more likely to feel moody, depressed, angry, anxious, and experience mood swing. Low scorers tend to be more
emotionally stable and less reactive to stress.
N = 38 - (4) _4__ + (9) _2__ - (14) _5__ + (19) _4__ - (24) _2__ - (29) _4__ - (34) _3__ - (39) _2__ - (44) _3__ - (49) _2__ = __19___
Openness to Experience
Openness to Experience (O) is the personality trait of seeking new experiences and intellectual pursuits. High scores may day dream a lot (enjoy
thinking about new and different things). Low scorers tend to be very down to earth (more of a ‘hear and now’ thinker). Consequently, it is
thought that people with higher scores might be more creative, flexible, curious, and adventurous, whereas people with lower score might tend to
enjoy routines, predictability, and structure.
O = 8 + (5) _5__ - (10) _1__ + (15) _2__ - (20) _2__ + (25) _4__ - (30) _3__ + (35) _5__ + (40) _4__ + (45) _5__ + (50) _5__ = _32____
