​5 Factor Model Rating Assessment

Please describe yourself on a 1 to 5 scale on each of the following 30 personality traits, where 1 is extremely low (i.e., extremely lower than the average person), 2 is low, 3 is neither high nor low (i.e., does not differ from the average person), 4 is high and 5 is extremely high. Use any number from 1 to 5. Please provide a rating for all 30 traits.
For example, on the first trait (anxiousness), a score of 1 would indicate that you think you are extremely low in anxiousness (i.e., relaxed, unconcerned, cool). A score of 2 would indicate that you think you are low in anxiousness (lower than the average person, but not extremely low). A score of 5 would indicate that you think you are extremely high in anxiousness (i.e., fearful, apprehensive); a score of 4 would indicate you think you are higher than the average person in anxiousness, but not extremely high. A score of 3 would indicate that you think you are neither high nor low in anxiousness (does not differ from the average person) or that you are unable to decide.

In order to determine the score on each of the Big Five Traits identified on the rating scale, add up each individual trait score in each section, divide those scores by 6 (total number of traits in each section) to get the average score for that Big Five trait. Any score of more than 3 indicates a high-normal score. The two Five Factor Model traits that we focused on that are elevated in PLRs are Agreeableness and Conscientiousness, referred to as Super Traits when elevated. A score of more than 3 in the overall total on each trait (Agreeableness and Conscientiousness) indicates Super Traits. Super traits are not good or bad and only used to determine the difficulty disengaging from the patholoigcal relationship.
