ConscientiousnessConscientiousness is about how we control and act on our impulses. People whodisplay high levels of conscientiousness are good at thinking through their actionsbefore acting on an impulse. This allows them to avoid unnecessary stress ortrouble, but can also lead to workaholic and perfectionist extremes. Likewise,acting immediately on impulse can be both effective and fun in the rightenvironment, but taken to the extreme can produce immediate personal rewardsbut undesirable long term consequences for yourself and others.

ExtraversionYour level of Extraversion reflects how energetically you engage with the outsideworld. It’s a good measure of the extent to which you experience positiveemotions from social situations and activities.
