Go to Truity’s The Big Five Personality Test (Links to an external site.), and complete the free, confidential personality test that is based on the big five theory. The results of this test will be used to aid in the completion of this assignment. Note that you do not need to register or provide personal information to obtain your results from this website. After you have completed the assessment, click the No, just give me my results link.

In your journal reflection,

• Describe each of the five traits included in the big five model:
  • Extroversion
  • Agreeableness
  • Conscientiousness
  • Neuroticism
  • Openness to experience
• Next, reflect on your results from the test, including each of the five traits.
• Answer the following:
  • How accurate do you think this assessment is in describing your personality traits?
  • What role do you think the circumstance of your upbringing played in the development of these traits (e.g., include the dominant culture in which you grew up, your place in the family structure, religion or lack of religion in the home, etc.)?
