Surprisingly, the Big 5 has been a great tool for me to gain more clarity regarding the reasons I haven't lived so far up to my potential. My personality consists of very high openness (very reflective and imaginative) very low contientiousness (chaotic procrastinator), high extraversion, high agreeableness (kind and polite), extremely high neuroticism ☠. Despite this very dysfunctional personality, I still cannot be regarded as occupationally unsuccessful. My IQ (mensa member) helped me compensate it. I have now decided to combat my high neuroticism with antidepressants and my contientiousness through concrete goals and strong will. I am 37 and I most probably have the whole second half of my life in front of me. By doing these two things, I will be much happier and I will utilise my talents.

I am an agreeable personality, I am forever helping people, I sometimes I forget to do for myself. I never look for payback for any good deed I do for someone. Seeing people happy for some reason, I get energy from that. wow, this is amazing.

I recently did the big 5 test...and everything was on point, I knew a few things before but reading the break down of it all individually gives me more insight about myself. I'm also an introvert and I definitely can say without apology that I suck at sales jobs, I didn't know few years ago until last year...I love being in the background of things in my own space with a schedule for the day. ..but I love the test and i think everyone should do the test to have an understanding of who they are so that their life would be less complicated and little bit easier to maneuver goals.

I consider myself to be very high in contentiousness but I wasn't always that way. As I became older and, starting at around 25, I realised that my life trajectory shall we say, was not going to land well. My future began to matter to me and I started to worry about my future. I started to work hard. Seven years of tertiary education starting with returning to school as an adult student, followed by two years a polytechnic, and finally four years at university ending with a computer science degree. Now 57, I feel that one answer to the question of where contentiousness comes from is quite simply self preservation. Fear for one's future is a powerful motivator.

I don't understand why people don't find him VERY neutral in any topic. He'll point out the parts that he doesn't know and always makes it clear where this info comes from and people just refuse to look? He's open to changing his mind IF you can provide actual evidence, he's just mostly correct.

I can never be that guy that came late to his class

[mjsmith-jones]

It is incredible how he can talk like a stream of consciousness.
I'm the orderly, timely, conservative kind.

Thanks for the explanation Mr. Peterson!

Big Five was a very insightful test. Thank you. Dr Peterson.

I am the highest on "conscientiousness" and the second "openness to experiences", and medium on "agreeableness". I really struggled in my country of birth (China) but thrive in the US. I think in an authoritarian regime China my "openness to experiences" often was labeled as evil but that that same trait makes it very easy for me to assimilate to western culture.

@10:28 When I study hard I get really tired and start to fall asleep after an hour or two. I then think of how I would tell this to others or how I would use it in real life. I do tend to retain a lot of what I read and this is probably why.

Glad to be learning and glad it seems to be well researched

While not everyone is creative, I could see myself being high on the creativity side of things and not simply out of my ego. I’ve always loved nerdy shit like writing fiction and D&D and all that. My hobbies are oriented around art and music. I got confused and frustrated when I was younger why people couldn’t enjoy this stuff as much as I did and now I understand the variation in human personality better it’s easier to see why that is. Other people have a different personality which means they like different stuff, and that’s okay.

Wow how real this speech is. Hats off for your brave sharing. And you are sharing it to world. Does it mean you still alone? I understand how painful would have been. First my big hugs to you. Very painful to know someone cheated you when you were 13. I am thinking about your choices at that moment…. I can not understand.

[aerotraveldji]

No Mr. Peterson. We know how to improve intelligence. Watch you videos. Study them. Understand and implement them. That levels you up! 🙏👍❤️

That creative achievement questionnaire doesn’t measure creativity; it measures whether you have gotten training, recognition, awards, or other forms of achievement in creative works.

[TonyGeldmacher-ilsy]

I am low Neurotism, High Contienoious, High Extrversion, High agreableness, High Openness

6:42 my niche. The social niche
8:21 the plan of attack for my navigation

[EmeraldSanctuaryTheraphi]

What really surprises me is that Peterson doesn’t understand what an introvert and an extravert is when it comes to managing their energy it has nothing to do with whether they like people or they don’t

[impendingblessing]

I guess I'm not very industrious or conscientious from other videos, but I learn I also can't focus on remembering from a book. I agree that closing a book and summarising is helpful, but I can only do that for like a very bare minimum of existence and then crave a dynamic and immediately changing environmont for the big part to make me feel like I am living
