Ⅷ.Stability of Profile
Research suggests that the individual’s personality profile is likely to be stable throughout adulthood. Barring catastrophic stress, major illness, or therapeutic intervention, this description will probably serve as a fair guide even in old age.
Ⅸ. 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. In each graph, there is a red right triangle, and the angle triangle is the position of the respondent, which is located where the bevers is located, and the description of the quadrant is applied to the respondent.
1. If the horizontal side of the triangle is far from the green square, the description may be the most accurate.
2. If the triangle is completely in the green square, then there is no description that is specifically related.
3. If the horizontal axis is located near the horizontal axis or vertical axis, the description of the quadrants of the axis is applicable.
Style of Well-Being
N+E-
Gloomy Pessimists
These people face a dark and dreary life. There is little that cheers them and much that causes anguish and distress. Especially under stressful circumstances, they may succumb to periods of clinical depression, and even when they are functioning normally,they often find life hard and joyless.
Style of Defense
N+O-
Maladaptive
Maladaptive individuals tend to use primitive and ineffective defenses such as repression, denial, and reaction formation. They prefer not to think about disturbing ideas, and they may refuse to acknowledge possible dangers (such as a serious illness). They lack insight into the distressing affects they experience, and because they cannot verbalize their feelings, they may be considered alexithymic.
Style of Anger Control
N+A+
Timid
Timid people are heavily conflicted over anger. On the one hand, their feelings are readily hurt and they often feel victimized. On the other, they are reluctant to express anger because they do not want to offend others. Their anger may be directed inward against themselves.
Style of Impulse Control
N+C-
Undercontrolled
These individuals are often at the mercy of their own impulses. They find it difficult and distressing to resist any urge or desire, and they lack the selfcontrol to hold their urges in check. As a result, they may act in ways that they know are not in their long-term best interests. They may be particularly susceptible to substance abuse and other health risk behaviors.
Style of Interests
E-O-
Homebodies
Their interests are focused on activities they can pursue alone or with a small group. They are unadventurous and may collect stamps or coins, watch television, or garden. Their vocational interests may include mechanical or domestic work. Possible vocation: Bookkeeper
Style of Interactions
E-A+
The Unassuming
These people are modest and selfeffacing. They often prefer to be alone, but they are also sympathetic and respond to others’ needs. Because they are trusting, others may sometimes take advantage of them. Their friends should watch out for their interests but still respect their privacy.
Style of Activity
E-C-
The Lethargic
They are unenthusiastic and have few plans or goals to motivate them. They tend to be passive and respond only to the most pressing demands. They rarely initiate activities, and in group activities and games they often find themselves left behind.
Style of Attitudes
O-A+
Traditionalists
These individuals rely on the values and beliefs of their family and heritage in seeking the best way for people to live. They feel that following the established rules without questions is the best way to ensure peace and prosperity for everyone.
Style of Learning
O-C-
Reluctant Scholars
Academic and intellectual pursuits are not their strength or preference. They need special incentives to start learning and to stick with it. They may need help in organizing their work and reminders to keep them on schedule. They may have problems maintaining attention.
Style of Character
A+C-
Well-Intentioned
They are giving, sympathetic, and genuinely concerned about others. However, their lack of organization and persistence means that they sometimes fail to follow through on their good intentions. They may be best at inspiring kindness and generosity in others.
Ⅹ.NEO Personal Insight Report: Work Style
The analysis of your results is organised over four main sections: ‘Problem-solving and decisionmaking’, ‘Planning, organising and implementing’, ‘Style of relating to others’ and ‘Personal style’.
⑴Problem-solving and decision-making
In this section, we consider your approach to solving problems and making decisions. The questionnaire you completed does not assess your intellectual power (in other words, it does not assess your mental ability, or IQ as it is sometimes referred to) but it does provide insights into how you approach problem-solving and decision-making. In other words, we are talking here about your thinking style.
