The Big Five When looking at each personality traits I did find I leaned more towards the conscientiousness, emotional and openness to experience. These are the three things that my personality shows the most. The one that I believe fits me the most is conscientiousness. I am the type of person that is very thorough with everything I do and carefully try to plan things out as best as possible. I work hard to make sure that everything is planned out and try to get everything to play out like it should. The other personality that fits me is openness to experiences. Openness would involve being able to have an active imagination. I do have a very active imagination which helps me at my current job. As I am trying to find ways to be creative with my advertising. I do have an intellectual curiosity. If I find something that seems to interest me I look more into it. I like to expand my intellect as best as possible. Having a preference to variety is great to have as well with advertising. Not all places that we try to advertise with will like what we are doing. So once in a while we need to mix things up. I do think I need to work a bit more on attentiveness to inner feelings. I seem to ignore how I feel about certain things and go with what I believe should happen.
On the other hand I believe I should be on the neuroticism spectrum instead of the emotional stable. I have issues with dealing with stress. I really do not have a calm attitude and I am not even tempered. I seem to get rattled easily. I am really high in negative emotion and low in the positive emotion. One of my biggest weaknesses is extraversion. I am not really a big people person. I would rather work alone then with other people. One thing that my wife has mentioned is I like to stay home instead of going to hang out with friends. I like to say the main friends I have are my kids. This does cause an issue with my job as I am needing to talk
