Big Five Personality Test

According to studies by Gerber and associates (Yale University), Raso and associates (Stanford), and others, your friend's scores indicate that he or she is:

• Less likely than the general population to let their commitment be guided by the issues that are likely to yield concrete personal payoffs in their life (as opposed to abstract ideological ones).
• More likely than the general population to watch and enjoy late-night satire that ridicules politics and politicians.
• More likely to keep informed on politics because they feel it is fun or exciting than because they feel it is a type of obligation or social duty.
• Likely to take more risks with their health, diet, and lifestyle than the general population.
• Likely to spend less time than the general population striving for career achievements, devoting themselves to hobbies and extra-professional activities as well.
• Likely to waste more time procrastinating with internet games, social media etc. than the general population.
• Less likely than the general population to attend political campaign events and meetings.
• Less likely than the general population to voice support for their political views by writing to elected officials or for the opinion pages of newspapers and magazines.
• More likely than the general population to stay constant in their level of political engagement (i.e. as opposed to mostly following politics in conjunction with elections, etc.).
• Likely to spend less time reading newspapers than the general population.
• Less likely to watch political talk shows than the general population.
• More likely than the general population to sign political petitions when asked to do so by friends.
• Less likely than the general population to vote in each and every election.
• More likely than the general population to make arguments to the speakers when attending political rallies and debates.
• Likely to be more strategic and calculating than the general population in the presentation of their political views (i.e. what they disclose and how they disclose it; tailoring their message to their audience, etc.).
• More likely than the general population to take an economics-oriented approach to environmental issues (i.e. growing the economic pie with fossil fuels now in order to be better able to pay for environmental policies in the future, instead of windmills, carbon restrictions, and taxes on industry now.).
• Likely to be less swayed by a politician’s personality, interpersonal dealings, and prosocial behavior than by his actual politics.
