the culture of flexi time has been around since i had my first job more than 40 years ago, so it's not as though those jobs don't exist everywhere

Then that's the kind of job for which she should be aiming with some jobs, it's simply not an option.

i 100% agree with everyone on this thread

I can’t stand big five but this is it for me anyway:

Spoiler:

Neuroticism: 80 (high)
Anxiety: 14 (high)
Anger: 13 (high). (I’m calm on the outside but I do have my moments low-key.)
“Depression”: 12 (neutral). I hate the word depression being used lightly but hey-ho.
Self-consciousness: 16 (high)
Immoderation: 12 (neutral)
Extraversion: 61 (low). Again, not a fan of the superficiality of big-5 extraversion/introversion but in the casual social sense I’m pretty reserved so I was expecting a low or moderate score. I’ve never been the sort of person to ooze social extraversion.
Friendliness: 12 (neutral)
Gregariousness: 8 (low)
Excitement-seeking: 10 (low). I actually like my novelty-seeking and fun but having a lean bank-balance and tight budget doesn’t help.
Cheerfulness: 13 (high)
Openness to experience: 90 (high)
Imagination: 17 (high)
Artistic interests: 12 (neutral)
Emotionality: 17 (high)
Adventurousness: 12 (neutral)
Intellect: 18 (high)
Liberalism: 14 (high)
Agreeableness: 88 (high)
Morality: 16 (high)
Altruism: 20 (high)
Co-operation, modesty: 12 (neutral)
Sympathy: 15 (high)
Conscientiousness: 15 (high)
Self-Efficacy: 15 (high)
Orderliness: 14 (high)
Dutifulness: 11 (low)
Achievement-Striving: 13 (high)
Self-Discipline: 12 (neutral)
Cautiousness: 18 (high)

They’re absolutely taking the piss with that many rankings.

I scored very low for anger (7) but it's like 100 after taking that it was far too long

It's like IQ tests - I think intelligence is too multi-dimensional to necessarily be condensed and measured in a single (set of) test(s) - BUT a high IQ is apparently the number one predictor for workplace success.

Likewise, accurately measuring different aspects of personality and the way individuals' minds work can have some utility, such as selecting what careers someone is best suited for etc.

And that’s where things like MBTI come in. MBTI memes are cringe and some people take it way too seriously but for all its flaws (and it has many, or at least the way people use it does) it gives a more sophisticated run-down of what introversion and extroversion really mean in a deeper more functional sense and how it relates to personality. Which is more than just being a reclusive bookworm-ish homebody vs. a loud and an outgoing party animal (although social preferences/tendencies do have something to do with it). Carl Jung’s the one who officially came up with the concept of introversion and extroversion in the first place and the way he talked about it was closer to Myers-Briggs (which is just a standardised form of it, and socionics is an even more advanced version of that) than what we commonly think of it as in just the normal, lay social sense.

That’s why a lot of workplaces/career-guidance sources like to use it but it’s not fully accepted with all psychologists. People with big, big PHDs sometimes still prefer to use the simplistic big-5 scheme when they talk about introversion and extraversion and that’s what I don’t understand. I talk about intro and extraversion in that broad lazy way all the time when I want to make generalisations but I’d be more inclined to credit the person who came up with all this stuff at least occasionally than make out that you’re either a lively and an outgoing person or you’re antisocial. Maybe the official big 5 test deeps the psychology of the whole thing a bit more than the tests on Google and in Year 7 PSME on a Friday afternoon but from the one I know I just wouldn’t try to take either big five or OCEAN whatever too seriously. At best they’re just there to help you along the way and get an impression of how you come across to other people. But that doesn’t mean the real you on the inside is reflected by it that accurately.

According to my results I'm highly neurotic and very gregarious.
