Interpretive Text
*** Norms Overview ***

NOTE. Using norms for combined gender in the 22-25 age range. If
these details do not correspond with your client please update the
client's details and use the Rescore function to produce correct
normative percentiles.

*** Personality Overview ***

1. Openness to Experience Factor. Your score on Openness to

Experience is in the average range, suggesting a balanced
approach to novelty and tradition. You are likely comfortable with a
mix of routine and novelty, open to new experiences and ideas but
not actively seeking them out all the time. You appreciate both
concrete information and abstract concepts, allowing you to adapt
depending on the situation and the demands of the environment.
Your imagination is high. To imaginative individuals, the real world is
often too plain and ordinary. High scorers on this scale use fantasy
as a way of creating a richer, more interesting world. Your liberalism
is low. Psychological conservatives prefer the security and stability
brought by conformity to tradition, authority, and convention.
Psychological liberalism and conservatism are not identical to
political affiliation, but certainly incline individuals toward certain
political parties.

2. Conscientiousness Factor: Your score on Conscientiousness is

low, which implies you might have a spontaneous, flexible, and
carefree approach to life. You might prefer not to stick to strict
schedules or plans, and may enjoy the freedom that comes with
unpredictability. Sometimes, you may struggle with details and
deadlines, and you might prioritise living in the moment over
meticulously preparing for the future. Your orderliness is high.
Persons with high scores on orderliness are well-organised. They
like to live according to routines and schedules. They keep lists and
make plans. Your dutifulness is low. This scale reflects the strength
of a person's sense of duty and obligation. Low scorers find
contracts, rules, and regulations overly confining. They are likely to
be seen as unreliable or even irresponsible. Your achievement

NovoPsych

Interpretive Text (cont.)

striving is low. Low scorers are content to get by with a minimal
amount of work, and might be seen by others as lazy. Your self-
discipline is high. Self-discipline, what many people call will-power,
refers to the ability to persist at difficult or unpleasant tasks until they
are completed. People who possess high self-discipline are able to
overcome reluctance to begin tasks and stay on track despite
distractions. Your cautiousness is low. Cautiousness describes the
disposition to think through possibilities before acting. Low scorers
often say or do the first thing that comes to mind without deliberating
alternatives and the probable consequences of those alternatives.

3. Extraversion Factor. Your score on Extraversion is in the average

range, meaning you appreciate both social interaction and personal
solitude. You feel comfortable in social situations, but also value
time alone to recharge. You are flexible in expressing yourself and
are able to adjust your level of sociability to the demands of a
situation, enjoying a good balance between talkativeness and
introspection. Your friendliness is low. Low scorers on friendliness
are not necessarily cold and hostile, but they do not reach out to
others and are perceived as distant and reserved. Your
gregariousness is low. Low scorers tend to feel overwhelmed by,
and therefore actively avoid, large crowds. They do not necessarily
dislike being with people sometimes, but their need for privacy and
time to themselves is much greater than for individuals who score
high on this scale. Your excitement seeking is high. High scorers on
this scale are easily bored without high levels of stimulation. They
love bright lights and hustle and bustle. They are likely to take risks
and seek thrills.

4. Agreeableness Factor. Your score on Agreeableness is low,

suggesting you prioritise your own interests over those of others.
You may be more skeptical about others' intentions and are
comfortable with competition and conflict. You might come off as
straightforward, even blunt, as you value truth over tact, and can
make tough decisions without being swayed by emotions. Your
morality is low. Low scorers believe that a certain amount of
deception in social relationships is necessary. People generally find
it more difficult to relate to the low-scorers on this scale. It should be
made clear that low scorers are not unprincipled or immoral; they
are simply more guarded and less willing to openly reveal the whole
truth. Your altruism is low. Low scorers on this scale do not
particularly like helping those in need. Requests for help feel like an
imposition rather than an opportunity for self-fulfilment. Your
modesty is high. High scorers on this scale do not like to claim that
they are better than other people. In some cases this attitude may
derive from low self-confidence or self-esteem. Nonetheless, some
people with high self-esteem find immodesty unseemly. Your
sympathy is low. Low scorers are not affected strongly by human
suffering. They pride themselves on making objective judgments
based on reason. They are more concerned with truth and impartial

justice than with mercy.

5. Neuroticism Factor. Your score on Neuroticism is high, indicating

that you tend to experience a broad range of emotions more
intensely and are more prone to negative emotions such as anxiety,
worry, and depression. You might perceive ordinary situations as
threatening and minor frustrations as distressing, leading to mood
swings and emotional instability. While it may bring challenges, your
heightened emotional sensitivity also allows you to have a rich and
nuanced emotional life. Your anxiety is high, which means that the
'fight-or-flight' system of the brain is too easily and too often
engaged. People who are high in anxiety often feel like something
dangerous is about to happen. They may be afraid of specific
situations or be just generally fearful. They feel tense, jittery, and
nervous. Your anger is high. Persons who score high in anger feel
enraged when things do not go their way. They are sensitive about
being treated fairly and feel resentful and bitter when they feel they
are being cheated. This scale measures the tendency to feel angry;
whether or not the person expresses annoyance and hostility
depends on the individual's level on agreeableness. Your facet of
self-consciousness is high. Self-conscious individuals are sensitive
about what others think of them. Their concern about rejection and
ridicule causes them to feel shy and uncomfortable abound others.
They are easily embarrassed and often feel ashamed. Their fears
that others will criticise or make fun of them are exaggerated and
unrealistic, but their awkwardness and discomfort may make these
fears a self-fulfilling prophecy. Your immoderation is high. High
scorers feel strong cravings and urges that they have difficulty
resisting. They tend to be oriented toward short-term pleasures and
rewards rather than long-term consequences. Your vulnerability is
high. High scorers on vulnerability experience panic, confusion, and
helplessness when under pressure or stress.

*** Pattern Types ***

Pattern 6.4 EMOTIONALLY DYNAMIC TYPE (Low A, High N)

Emotionally Dynamic Types often report experiencing an array of

intense emotions, predominantly negative ones, and may express
fewer positive feelings. They tend to be complex in their emotional
makeup, showcasing adaptability even amidst emotional turmoil.
They might be seen as reflective, focused, restless for change,
introspective, and determined, all of which speaks to their
multifaceted emotional landscape. Their demeanour might
sometimes be perceived as being cautious, reserved, unpredictable,
independent, meticulous, and slightly introverted. This emotional
dynamism can also make them appear as prone to worry, tension,
impatience, or nervousness, and they might be seen as somewhat
withdrawn, aloof, inconsistent, self-reliant, indifferent to routine, and

firm in their decisions.

Pattern 8.4 CREATIVE NONCONFORMIST TYPE (Low C, High N)

Creative Nonconformist Types display emotional complexity

influencing both their cognitive frameworks and social connections.
They may demonstrate traits of unpredictability, creativity, and a
forgetful nature], in group contexts, they may come across as lively,
inquisitive, sociable, and expressive. On the job, their volatile
tendencies might present challenges for colleagues and supervisors.
Nevertheless, they bring a unique perspective and dynamism to
their surroundings. They are often described by others as
unconventional, adaptable, intricate, imaginative, flexible,
emotionally diverse, persistent, independent, and spontaneous.
Their unorthodox approach might be viewed as a double-edged
sword, bringing both fresh ideas and unpredictability.

Pattern 5.4 INDEPENDENT NONCONFORMIST TYPE (Low A, Low

C)

Independent Nonconformist Types are individuals who, with a sense

of self-interest, may demonstrate indifference towards conventional
norms and others' feelings. Depending on the extent of their self-
centric behaviour, they might range from simply assertive to more
challenging in their interactions. Others may perceive this type as
unconventional, steadfast, variable in mood, unpredictable, and self-
reliant. They can be regarded as independent, confident, and
assertive, but this may sometimes come across as stubborn,
inconsiderate, uncooperative, or even egotistical.

These factors and facets provide a comprehensive assessment of

an individual's personality traits and help practitioners gain insights
into various aspects of an individual's behaviour and preferences.

Percentiles are presented for each of the trait factors and facets,
comparing the respondent's scores to those of an age and gender
related Australian sample (NovoPsych's analysis of Johnson 2020
data). A percentile of 50 represents typical patterns of responding
compared to peers. Descriptors for each factor and facet are also
presented where it is considered High if the score is in the top 30%
compares to peers, Low if in the bottom 30% or Average if in the
middle 40% (i.e., High if the percentile is 70 or above, Low if the
percentile is 30 or below, or Average if the percentile is between 30
and 70). Percentiles are based upon gender and age, which was
categorised into the seven age groups.

On a facet level, percentiles may be presented with > or < symbols.

This indicates that the top (>) or bottom (<) percentile rank has been
reached due to ceiling or floor effects for that facet. Given that facets
are derived from single items, caution is recommended when
interpreting facet scores.

In the narrative report, 'pattern types' may also be presented (if there
are high and low scores on personality factors). These 'pattern
types' are based on the Abridged Big Five-Dimensional Circumplex
(AB5C; Hofstee, de Raad, & Goldberg, 1992) model of personality.
These descriptions are based upon those provided by Johnson
(n.d.).
