The Colors of My Mind
After taking The Big Five personality test, the calculations determined that I prefer not to
step out of my comfort zone: which puts me in the 44th percentile, that I am neither organized
nor disorganized: putting me in the 58th percentile, that I am extremely outgoing, social and
energetic: placing me in the 90th percentile, that I find it easy to criticize others: meaning I’d be
in the 19th percentile, and that I am generally relaxed: popping me in the 36th percentile. I found
the majority of the information stated to be true, but there are also the gray sides to these
situations.
For the statements indicating that I typically don’t seek out new experiences, I actually
tend to, but not without thinking of the possibilities and outcomes beforehand, I find it important
to kind of jot everything down, even if it’s in my own head, just so I know for sure what I want
to do; this makes it harder and less likely for me to be talked out of an idea or have second
thoughts. I’d like to consider myself a risk-taker, which apparently is uncommon for smaller and
petite people. This ties into when I’m categorized as generally relaxed; since I’m an overthinker
and layout all my possible moves, it's actually difficult to not get stressed. When it comes to
events and situations that require my full attention, I speed into things, thinking on my feet, well
aware that rushing into it gives me less time to over analyze and find fault or reasons to worry. I
will be honest though, recently I’ve been rushing into things but still squeezing in a set plan in
my head, to get the timings, access, and results correctly. Something as simple as running
errands has never been easier for me now that I’ve been working on this particular technique.
