Jordan Peterson on Relationship Compatibility & Personality Traits

In this video clip, Psychology Professor Dr. Jordan B. Peterson discusses his ideas about the role of the Big 5 temperament traits (Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism--Negative Emotionality) as they relate to relationship compatibility.

*Note: Personality Owl and P2MR don't agree with everything Prof. Peterson discusses about temperament traits. For example, in the video, Prof. Peterson should have combined qualities associated with the temperament trait "inhibition" with his information about introverts. Not everything he said about introverts relates to true introverts. He was mostly discussing traits associated with inhibited introverts.

Very useful information for me. Thank you

Well me being agreeable and my wife disagreeable shows why we are in the mess we are in...
bad mismatch

[Pizzahutbaby]

I'm about moderately agreeable and my friend is very agreeable what I do notice is that he usually doesn't try to debunk what I said it's more of like he just rolls with it and then I think about it and I catch what happend and it kind of annoys me that he's unwilling to prove me wrong. I want to be proven wrong if I am wrong. I get what he means with balance. Essentially get a person that's like you but not completely like you and has strengths in areas you dont and vice versa. Very interesting I could listen to this guy all day.

My crush is high on conscentiousness and extrovertness and nacasticism

[willywonka]

I'm high in Openness (91%) and my girlfriend is moderately low in Openness (34%). I'm not quite sure how to work this out, does anybody have any advice? (The other traits are relatively balanced).

got the first 2 bad as hell with my Gf bout to leave

[pinkroses]

He has to score at least 50% in openness or we're gonna fight over the design elements of storage baskets and he'll be sick of the little daily eccentricities (84 openness and neuroticism) 😂 but seriously appreciating beauty vs not caring could be a source of contention. I know I can't be with someone flippant in that area. I got 50 in conscientiousness so he can't be too disorderly or lax on cleanliness. Openness+conscientiousness = perfectionist problems. Extroversion is 30 so I'm not going out much unless it's outside but agreeableness is 70 so I'll follow a terrible idea here or there maybe. 😂

Jordan,
All sounds very lucid.
At a conscious level.
The problem is that compatibility isn't conscious nor verbal.
It's subconscious and non verbal.
What you should be doing is reverse matching partners parental primary love objects.
Not likes with likes.
That's the Rubrics conundrum cube of compatibility.
That's why it doesn't work.
It had nothing to do with 'you'.
What you think, how you feel or what you hope for.
We've all been barking up the wrong tree.
Matchmakers only get it partially right focusing on financial compatibility excluding love.
That is arranged marriage not love marriages.
That too fails.
We have relationships in order to recover from being born.
Or should I say, recover from being torn.
Depending on your sexual proclivity.
If you are female I would match you with your father/mother
Male with your mother/father.
I would structure the questions about them not you.
As you are completely irrelevant to the question.
I believe you would have a far greater deal of success than all the current models which are patently flawed.
'What's this, 'thing', called luv....?!!!
'What's that up on the road, a head...?!!!'

Stay single n happy with yourself... ppl r stupid... have dogs instead

[kitsunealice]

I’m a woman, I am disagreeable and my partner is agreeable... I am conscientious and my partner wants to relax... I am an ambivert, he is an introvert... and we have both a bit of neuroticism... I am open to experience while he’s quite reluctant to it... Depends on the circumstances... but apart from that, great sex !!! 😁 I can’t live with him, honestly... i fight a lot with him.. I don’t know if that « compatibility thing » really does exist.... that’s maybe why many many women chose other women as partners 😁 or go on polyamory....
