The Big Five Personality Test is a test that measures the personality traits of individuals. The Big Five are openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and emotional stability (neuroticism). Test scores are based on the results of thousands of other people's tests and are converted into "percentile scores."

High test scorers tend to be original, creative, curious, complex; Those who score low tend to be conventional, down-to-earth, with narrow interests and uncreative. (Big Five) The percentile score in this area was 65, meaning openness to new experiences is likely.
