As the year is winding down and I look back at the wide range of topics we covered I would have to say that behavior and social behavior has been the most interesting topic. I think it is interesting to look into what makes a person who they are and see how they act in a group of people and why. I've always had some clue as to what kind of person I am. Happy, talkative, energetic.. well depending on sleep, and a risk taker. But it was nice to finally see this while taking the Big 5 personality test, it showed I was high on extroversion, which explains how i used to always get in trouble for talking, and agreeableness. I was surprised I was not very high but still slightly above average on Conscientiousness and openness to experience. I found my traits very interesting, anyone else?

The Big 5 was interesting to learn about, but "discovering" my Big 5 wasn't actually much of a discovery. I was not surprised to find myself quite high in extroversion and conscientiousness, for I am very organized, detail-orientated, and I love being in the presence of others.
Yes the Big 5 personality test was almost a reality check for some of my traits. I even found out that I was a bit more neurotic than I had thought, but was not in any way one of my dominant traits. I also excelled in extroversion and the same thing happened to me when I was younger: getting into trouble for talking when I wasn't suppose to be.
