Basis of Interpretation This report compares the respondent to college age men and women. It is based on self-reports of the respondent.

This report is based on a short version of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory™. It provides information on the five basic personality factors. More precise estimation of the factors and more detailed information about specific traits that define them can be obtained by administering the NEO PI-R.

Global Description of Personality: The Five Factors The most distinctive feature of this individual's personality is his standing on the factor of Neuroticism. Individuals scoring in this range are typically very well-adjusted emotionally, rarely experiencing psychological distress. They are not sensitive or moody, and have very few complaints about life. They feel quite secure and have a high level of self-esteem. Friends and neighbors of such individuals might characterize them as relaxed, even-tempered, comfortable, and hardy in comparison with the average person.

This person is low in Openness. Low scorers like him prefer the familiar and conventional, and have little need for variety. They are not particularly sensitive to inner feelings and are reluctant to entertain new ideas unless they have a concrete reason. Their values are simple, traditional, and pragmatic. Peers rate such people as unadventurous and conventional. Closed individuals, as a rule, do not have many intellectual interests. However, this does not mean that they lack intellectual ability; it means only that they tend to direct their intelligence to a narrow circle of problems that are important to them.

Next, consider the individual's level of Agreeableness. People who score in this range are relatively low in concern for others. They can often be brusque or thoughtless in their interactions. They tend to view other people and ideas from a critical standpoint. Their attitudes tend to be tough-minded in most situations. They are competitive and quite able to express hostile feelings directly. People might describe them as relatively stubborn or selfish. (Although antagonistic people such as these are generally not well-liked by others, they are often respected for their critical independence. Their emotional toughness and competitiveness can be assets in many social and business roles.)

Client: Test Date: 22 Apr 2014 Client ID: Page 4 of 11

This person is high in Extraversion. Such people enjoy the company of others and the stimulation of social interaction. They like parties and may be group leaders. They have a fairly high level of energy and tend to be cheerful and optimistic. Those who know such people would describe them as active and sociable.

Finally, the individual scores in the average range in Conscientiousness. Men who score in this range have a normal level of need for achievement. They are able to set work/school aside in pursuit of pleasure or recreation. They are moderately well organized and fairly reliable, and have an average amount of self-discipline.

Personality Correlates: Some Possible Implications Research has shown that the scales of the NEO FFI are related to a wide variety of psychosocial variables. These correlates suggest possible implications of the personality profile, because individuals who score high on a trait are also likely to score high on measures of the trait's correlates.

The following information is intended to give a sense of how this individual might function in a number of areas. It is not, however, a substitute for direct measurement. If, for example, there is a primary interest in medical complaints, an inventory of medical complaints should be administered in addition to the NEO FFI.

Coping and Defenses

In coping with the stresses of everyday life, this individual is unlikely to react with ineffective responses, such as hostile reactions toward others, self-blame, or escapist fantasies. He is more likely to use faith and less likely to use humor in responding to threats, losses, and challenges. In addition, he is somewhat more likely to use positive thinking and direct action in dealing with problems. He is more likely to present a defensive facade of superiority than to be self-sacrificing. He may use such defense mechanisms as acting out and projection.

Somatic Complaints

This person may be prone to discount physical problems and minimize the severity of somatic symptoms and medical complaints. In health care situations, it may be important to check for problems even when he reports no difficulties.

Psychological Well-being

Although his mood and satisfaction with various aspects of his life will vary with the circumstances, in the long run this individual is likely to relish positive experiences, minimize problems, and generally be happy. Because he is closed to experience, his moods may be less intense and varied than those of the average man.

Cognitive Processes

This individual is likely to be less complex and differentiated in thoughts, values, and moral judgments than others of his level of intelligence and education. He would also probably score lower on measures of ego development.

Interpersonal Characteristics

Many theories propose a circular arrangement of interpersonal traits around the axes of Love and Status. Within such systems, this person would likely be described as arrogant, calculating,

Personality Style Graphs Broad personality factors are pervasive influences on thoughts, feelings, and actions, and combinations of factors provide insight into major aspects of people's lives, defining what can be called personality styles. For example, for many years psychologists have known that interpersonal interactions can be conceptualized in terms of a circular ordering or circumplex, defined by the two axes of Dominance and Love, or by the alternative axes of Extraversion and Agreeableness. These two factors define a Style of Interactions. The nine other pairs of factors also define styles, and all ten are represented in NEO Style Graphs. An "X" is placed on each graph to indicate where the respondent falls; the description of that quadrant applies to the respondent. Descriptions are likely to be most accurate if (1) the "X" is far from the center; (2) the "X" is near the diagonal passing through the center of the quadrant; and (3) all the facets in each domain show similar levels. If the "X" is placed in the central circle, then none of the descriptions is especially relevant. If the "X" is located near the horizontal or vertical axis, then both quadrants on that side of the circle may be descriptive. If there is marked scatter among the facets in a domain, then interpretation should focus on these facets rather than the domain and its combinations in Style Graphs.

Gloomy Pessimists Strongly Emotional

Low-keyed Upbeat Optimists

These individuals face a dark and dreary life. There is littlethat cheers them and much that causes anguish anddistress. Especially in stressful circumstances,they experience periods of feelingdepressed. Even under normalcircumstances, they often find lifehard and joyless.

These individuals experience both positive and negativeemotions fully and may swing rapidly from one mood

to another. Their interpersonal interactions maybe tumultuous because they are so easily

influenced by their feelings. However,they may feel that their lives are full

of excitement.

Neither good news nor bad hasmuch effect on these individuals;they maintain a stoic indifference toevents that would frighten or delight others.Their interpersonal relationships may sufferbecause others find them to be "cold fish." Theiremotional experience of life is bland.

These individuals are usuallycheerful because they are not unduly

troubled by problems and they have akeen appreciation for life's pleasures.

When faced with frustration or disappointment,they may become angry or sad, but they quickly put

these feelings behind them. They prefer to concentrate onthe future, which they view with eager anticipation. Theyenjoy life.

Maladaptive Hypersensitive

Unconcerned Adaptive

Maladaptive individuals tend to use ineffective defenses(e.g., repression, denial, reaction formation). Theyprefer not to think about disturbing ideas andthey may refuse to acknowledge possibledangers (e.g., serious illness). They donot understand the distressingemotions they experience and theycannot verbalize their feelings.

Hypersensitive individuals seem undefended. They are alertto danger and vividly imagine possible misfortunes.

They may be prone to nightmares. Because theythink in unusual and creative ways, they

may sometimes be troubled by odd andeccentric ideas.

In the face of stress, unconcernedindividuals rarely experience strongnegative emotions, and when they do,they downplay their importance. They donot dwell on threats or losses, turning insteadto concrete action to solve the problem or simply todistract themselves. They put their faith in higher powers.

Adaptive individuals are keenlyaware of conflict, stress, and threat,

but use these situations to stimulatecreative adaptations. They grapple

intellectually with their own intrapsychicproblems and they may react to life stress as a

source of humor or artistic inspiration.

Temperamental Timid

Cold-Blooded Easy-Going

Temperamental individuals are easily angered and tend toexpress anger directly. They may fly into a rage overa minor irritant, and they can seethe with angerfor long periods of time. They are deeplyinvolved in themselves and take offensereadily, and they often overlook theeffects of their anger on others.They may resort to physicalaggression or verbal abuse.

Timid individuals are heavily conflicted over anger. On theone hand, their feelings are readily hurt and they often

feel victimized. On the other hand, they arereluctant to express anger because they do

not want to offend others. Their angermay be directed inward against

themselves.

Cold-blooded individuals "don't getmad, they get even." They often takeoffense, but they are not overpoweredby feelings of anger. Instead, they keepaccounts and express their animosity at a timeand in a way that suits them. They may seekrevenge.

Easy-going individuals are slow toanger and reluctant to express it

when it arises. They know when theyhave been insulted and may raise

objections, but they would prefer to forgiveand forget. They understand there are two sides to

every issue and try to work toward a common ground inresolving disputes.
