I found my Big 5 Personality Test. I was looking for it for a while, but wasn’t sure where I had posted it. It was under the Notes section. Here it is. »»
Openness
This trait refers to the extent to which you prefer novelty versus convention. Approximately 91.9% of respondents have a lower openness raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who is far more intellectually curious and sensitive to beauty than most. You might say that your beliefs are individualistic and frequently drift towards the unconventional, and that you enjoy your imagination and the exciting places it takes you!
Reflective question: What place do you think that tradition has in society (if any)?
Facets
(O1) Imagination: 98.6th percentile. This facet includes your imagination and fantasy life. Daydreams are for you a regular occurance. Your mind creates other idealised realities. It can be difficult to bring your thoughts back to what you are meant to be doing.
(O2) Artistic Interests: 65.5th percentile. This facet includes your interest in art, music and nature. You appreciate beauty and the arts more than most others do, and so your knowledge is likely to be wider and deeper than the average individual.
(O3) Emotionality: 21st percentile. This facet includes your experience of emotion and feelings. You feel and can identify your emotions, but they do not dictate your actions. You may not feel as many emotional highs and lows as others seem to.
(O4) Adventurousness: 98.6th percentile. This facet includes your openness to new experiences. You much prefer novel activities and may quickly get bored with ones that you have mastered. You are willing to try anything once, and are usually on the lookout for new foods to try or places to go.
(O5) Intellect: 94.5th percentile. This facet includes your openness to new ideas. You are much more intellectually curious than most. You are interested in a range of unconventional ideas which you pursue for your own enjoyment rather than any material benefit.

(C2) Orderliness: 2.3rd percentile. This facet includes how far you prefer order over flexibility. You are relatively disorganised.

Generally you get down to work eventually though, and complete your tasks.
