P.’s combination of neuroticism and extraversion scores, the affective plan, show that P. is an introvert. As such, she enjoys the quiet of solitude and solitary activities.

Dutifulness (48), achievement (45), self-discipline (54), and deliberation (46) are average. P.’s agreeableness scale score is low (35). Her trust scale score is very low (32). She tends to be skeptical and to assume that others may be dishonest. P.’s straightforwardness is also very low with a scale score of 30. Those two facets seem related. Because P. see others as untrustworthy she is more guarded in expressing her true feelings and can play with the truth as a mean of protection. Another facet that can be impacted by trust is altruism. P.’s scale core is low (35), which makes her more self-centered. Her scale score on compliance (46), modesty (50), and tender-mindedness (49) are average. Overall, her interpersonal tendencies are to be skeptical of other’s intentions. She considers herself realist, making rational decisions based on cold logic rather than feelings. She will fight for her own interests more than for those of others. As discussed, P.’s score in self-consciousness is her highest score with a scale score of 67. This score makes this facet very high for her. As a counselor, a high level of self-consciousness can create social anxiety, which can make it a challenge for her to run groups. Her insecurity can keep her focus on her and her emotions rather than on the group itself. This facet can also have her second-guess herself especially early in her practice.

Jane informed me that she ranked in the top of her class, and she always takes care of her academics before worrying about her extracurricular activities. Her peers said she is always caring, responsible, and a great leader. Jane completed the Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test, and her results were exactly what she expected. Her type was ESFJ and she scored 9% extravert, 19% sensing, 22% feeling, and 22% judging.

On the other hand, the client’s negative attributes like avoiding her aunt because she looks like her mother for example, can also be viewed as self critical feelings and limitations. In spite of the client’s minor setback in this example and her lack of social functioning in school, she does not have patterns of damaging self concepts. Thus, the social worker’s initial assessment concluded that the patient had affective self perception functioning with minor impediments.
As mentioned, she took the IPIP-NEO online shortened version of the assessment in the comfort of her apartment. Her results mentioned that she is average in extraversion, which according to her demographic information regarding her social circle could be accurate, as she does have close friends, but her stress and anxiety could factor in where she does not open herself up as much to others outside of her social circle. She is average in terms of her friendliness, gregariousness, and cheerfulness, which seems to point out that she is an overall nice person, but does not go over the top in this regard with everyone she encounters, which is how the average person is. Her assertiveness is borderline average, which could suggest that her anxiety causes her to not be completely assertive as she does not want to interfere with the norms of her surrounding environment. Her activity level is extremely high, while her excitement seeking is low, which leads me to believe that she enjoys doing things, but does not enjoy adventuring outside of her comfort zone. Overall, according to this assessment, she is average in the categories that define extraversion, but her anxiety could be causing her to not score high in this
In this analysis gaining background information within taking the NEO-PI-R along with comparing and relating results to self-analysis and room with a cue personality project a fuller more encompassing dispositional signature is revealed, requireing all methods in testing personality traits.

This trait is also positively correlated with fear of negative evaluation. Watson & Friend (1969, p 449 cited in Collins et al, 2005) defined FNE as ‘apprehension about others evaluations and distress over their negative evaluations, and the expectation that others would evaluation oneself negatively’ (cited in Robinson, Shaver & Wrightsman 2013).
