Are the two personality profiling systems related?

Here's a quiz that relates the two. This is a Facebook Application, BTW. You need to be logged in to take it.

EDIT: DefectiveCreative posted a link to another Big 5 test for those who don't want to take the test on Facebook. And here's the key to Big 5 to Jung/MBTI/Kiersey Correlations.

Thanks, DC. That helped!

So based on that Wiki article, the following MBTI indices are significantly correlated to four of the five dimensions of the Big 5 personality profile:

E-I: Extraversion
N-S: Openness (The more intuitive, the more open.)
F-T: Agreeableness (The more feeling, the more agreeable.)
J-P: Conscientiousness (The more judging, the more conscientious.)

Way back when I first took this test in school, I scored 40% on Extraversion, 40% on Openness, 40% on Agreeableness, and 60% on Conscientiousness. My MBTI result back then was ISTJ, and based on the correlation of the MBTI indices with the 4 dimensions of the Big 5, it was an accurate descriptor for that period.

It makes perfect sense! My Ne is ecstatic. +

I did 100 questions --

BIG 5

Openness-80%
Conscientiousness-33%
Extraversion-40%
Agreeableness-85%
Neuroticism-51%

MBTI

INFP
Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving

INFPs focus much of their energy on an inner world dominated by intense feeling and deeply held ethics. They seek an external life that is in keeping with these values. Loyal to the people and causes important to them, INFPs can quickly spot opportunities to implement their ideals. They are curious to understand those around them, and so are accepting and flexible except when their values are threatened. They have the ability to see good in almost anyone or anything.[/quote][/quote]

Whoa, Narik! 100 questions!

According to the test, we should migrate to New Mexico. For some reason, INFPs are either supposed to live in New Mexico or Maine. Vermont is the third best choice for a residence. XD

_________________

Where does it say we should all move to New Mexico?

My result was thus:

Openness: 84%
Conscientiousness: 25%
Extraversion: 23%
Agreeableness: 68%
Neuroticism: 60%

I did 100 questions too, my neuroticism was highest first, haha

Career info says I should do photography, followed by graphic design and the English lit; what did yours say?

Oh right, you can change the career thing! Mine had Vermont, Hawaii and then Maine for State. For country it had Finland, Slovakia and then France! What was yours?

F**king Facebook f**king apps. I've decided to create an account just to enable me to use these damn pervasive things which take great delight in blocking me from all manner of lighthearted romps. I feel like I've just swallowed a spoonful of concentrated poison and AIDS. Even though I've made my profile completely private and haven't even put anything in it. Eugh, I just don't want to be so... exposed

Despite obvious double standards about the desire to self-express. Must just be the typical demographic.

Anyway!

My results:

Big 5
Openness: 99%
Conscientiousness: 44%
Extraversion: 40%
Agreeableness: 69%
Neuroticism: 36%

That's quite interesting. Looks like a mass exodus to New Mexico might be on the cards after all! I find Estonia's presence in the suggested country list very interesting; I recall when I was doing a Work Trial at a voluntary organisation last year, I was taken on a 'pre-travel visit tour' with a bunch of volunteers and among them was an Estonian girl I rapidly became quite fond of. Preliminary type assessment seemed to indicate some form of INFX. I've hardly ever felt such... I don't know what it was, emotional infatuation with someone? She really was lovely. Seemed to be stricken by the whole 'everyone is living at such a fast pace and I'm doing nothing' thing, despite voluntarily flying out to a foreign country to assess the situation before going there with a bunch of students. Anyway, pardon my wistfulness.

Belgium might well be an interesting choice, but most of the Belgians I know online through gaming reaaaally don't do a great job of representing their country. Makes me want to avoid it like the plague. I'm sure the actual place is much nicer.

Aww, I should have got anthropology, I don't even like photography *pouts*

Facebook isn't that bad I actually use it a lot to keep in touch with my Uni and gaming friends. Maybe the experience you get on there depends on the people you have added as friends? Either way, post them so I can add you all

I took it, and after tinkering with it a little to offset the way some of the questions were worded I got:



Pretty accurate IMO. I checked the descriptions, RLUAI is me on a bad day, RCUAI is me on a good day.

In this test, I come out slightly more J than P. And I'm Limbic right now! But so is DC! Yipes.

And here's the key to Global 5 to Jung/MBTI/Kiersey Correlations (Thanks, DC!).

Big Five Test Results

Extroversion |||||| 28%
Orderliness |||||| 30%
Emotional Stability |||||||||||||| 58%
Accommodation |||||||||||||||| 62%
Inquisitiveness |||||||||||||||||||| 88%

The Big Five is currently the most accepted personality model in the scientific community. The Big Five emerged from the work of multiple independent scientists/researchers starting in the 1950s who using different techniques obtained similar results. Those results were that there are five distinct personality traits/dimensions. Here are your results on each dimension:

Extroversion results were low which suggests you are very reclusive, quiet, unassertive, and private.

Orderliness results were low which suggests you are overly flexible, random, scattered, and fun seeking at the expense too often of structure, reliability, work ethic, and long term accomplishment.

Emotional Stability results were moderately high which suggests you are relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.

Accommodation results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly kind natured, trusting, and helpful at the expense of your own individual development (martyr complex).

Inquisitiveness results were very high which suggests you are extremely intellectual, curious, imaginative but possibly not very practical. <--- Now this, I cannot deny
Your Global5/SLOAN type is RCUAI
Your Primary type is Inquisitive

What the... ? Huh. Isn't RCUAI... INFP?

Why does everything make me more confused? Perhaps you guys are rubbing off on me.

So much test-taking, I kind of feel like I'm making up for lost time.

The kitten caboodle likes to rub off on accommodating Big-5-ers -->

Although according to the Big 5 to MBTI correlation key, Emotional Stability is more strongly correlated to Feeling vs. Thinking than is Accommodation. So if you are mostly an INTP at core, then it could be that your Fe and Fi are simply well-developed enough to contribute to your score under Accommodation.

Still, wouldn't it be nice to be an ambiverted Feeler on top of being a Rational? Or a Rational on top of being an ambiverted Feeler? You get the best of both worlds!
