Introduction
This report helps in better understanding key personality traits of the evaluated person. The
description is based on the five key factors comprised in the Big Five personality model.
NEO Personality Inventory, Revised (NEO PI-R)

This report has been developed for the use of psychologists, counseling staff and other types of
specialized professionals, in their work with their clients.

Although structured as a stand-alone report, which especially in the second section (detailed
report) may also be easily read by persons not trained in the usage of psychological tests, this
report has been projected and developed in such a way as to offer assistance to the professional
who is interpreting the test results.
Paul T. Costa, Jr., Ph.D. & Robert R. McCrae, Ph.D.

These results should only be considered in conjunction with professional judgment, after a
careful and detailed analysis, and only after corroborating these data with the results of an
interview and of possible other psychometric instruments. Results contained in this report may be
subject to alterations and special highlights as a function of such corroborations, made by a
specialized professional.

This report is based on NEO PI-R, a psychometric instrument that has been validated in a wide
variety of research programs.

The NEO PI-R (NEO Psychological Inventory, Revised) is a structured, verbal, omnibus measure
of normal personality. The questionnaire consists in 240 items, grouped in 5 meta-factors, each
having six distinct facets, characteristic for the Big Five model of personality.

What information may be found in this report?


In addition to this introductory section, the report contains four big sections:

1. The NEO PI-R Summary,


2. The NEO PI-R Profile,
3. The NEO PI-R Detailed Report,
4. The Modus Operandi details.

Each of these sections will begin with explanations about the meaning of the different
data they offer.

The Profile
NEO Personality Inventory, Revised (NEO PI-R)

The next page contains the NEO PI-R profile. This is a graphical representation of the scores
characteristic for the evaluated person for the five factors and 30 facets measured by the NEO
PI-R.
Paul T. Costa, Jr., Ph.D. & Robert R. McCrae, Ph.D.

The 35 scales are graphically grouped from left to right, so that the five factor scores are
presented first, followed by each of the six facets of every factor. The profile visually groups the
factor scales and the facets so that the clusters are easily differentiated.

The profile is accompanied by both the numerical value of the data, and their graphic
representation. All the scales are presented so that the high scores are placed in the upper side of
the graphic, and the low scores are placed in the lower side of the graphic. This is a general
procedure in the visual representation of scores from the NEO PI-R and from other tests that
report data in standardized (T) scores.

The NEO PI-R profile indicates, in the upper side, under the name of each scale, the raw score
obtained for the scale in discussion. The profile is generated on the basis of this raw score, but it
visually presents standardized T scores.

The T scores are standardized scores that take into account the scores obtained by other persons
in the normative sample that has been used for the scoring of the test. The T scores have a mean
of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. This means that a T score of 50 places the evaluated person
at the mean of the normative sample. A volume of 67% of all the T scores fall between 40 and
60. Theoretically it is not possible to have T scores below 20 or above 80, and that is the reason
why the visual profile does not show these intervals.

The profile also marks five intensity categories for each score. The interval 20-35 indicates
VERY LOW scores. The interval 35-45 indicates LOW scores. The interval 45-55 indicates
AVERAGE scores. The interval 55-65 indicates HIGH scores. The interval 65-80 indicates
VERY HIGH scores.

This profile has been scored with: THE ROMANIAN COMBINED NORMS, FORM S (N=2200ss)

NEO Personality Inventory, Revised (NEO PI-R)

The Detailed Report


Paul T. Costa, Jr., Ph.D. & Robert R. McCrae, Ph.D.

The detailed report offers a drilldown of the characteristics ascertained through the NEO PI-R
and already pictured in the NEO PI-R profile. The charts and the comments presented in this
broader section are also based on the norms selected at the scoring of the test and indicated in the
introductory part of the profile.

This section has been developed by psychologists in such a way as to offer assistance to the
professionals who interpret the results and to minimize the reverting to the test manual.

This section may also be read by the evaluated person as part of a structured discussion with the
psychologist or of a personal development program the evaluated person is part of. However,
conclusions should be drawn on the basis of this report only after discussing the data with a
specialized professional and only in conjunction with other data, obtained from other evaluations,
like other structured assessments, qualitative inquiries etc.

The detailed section contains for each of the NEO PI-R scales one chart capturing both the raw
scores (below) and the standardized T scores (above), with a special marker where the evaluated
persons score has been computed. Also, below every chart one may read a short description of
the scale, in order to understand the interpretative frame of the score. Some adjectival
descriptions associated with the low and the high scores of the scale are also presented.

If the evaluated person obtains on a certain scale a high score, then there is a high probability that
the person is to be described by the descriptions suggested for the high scores. The higher the
score is, the more characteristic these descriptions are for the evaluated person. The same thing
happens for low scores: the lower the score is, the more characteristic for the evaluated person
are the typical descriptions for low scores.

Only the facet scales of the five factors of the NEO PI-R are represented in this section. Their
order they are discussed in is the same with the order of visualisation in the NEO PI-R profile.

Anxious people are shy, fearful, nervous, tensed and restless. This scale does not measure specific fears or
phobias, but high scorers are more likely to have such fears, as well as free-floating anxiety. On the other hand,
low scorers are calm and relaxed.

This facet represents the tendency to experience anger and negative emotions, such as frustration and
bitterness. This scale measures the individuals readiness to experience anger. Its expression depends upon
individuals level of Agreeableness. Disagreeable persons often score high on this scale. Low scorers are

This scale measures normal individual differences in the tendency to experience depressive affect. High scorers
are prone to feelings of guilt, sadness, hopelessness, and loneliness. They are easily discouraged and often
dejected. Low scorers rarely experience such emotions, buy they are not necessarily cheerful and lighthearted,
this positive characteristics being associated instead with Extraversion.

The emotions of shame and embarrassment form the core of this facet of N. Self-conscious individuals are
uncomfortable around others, sensitive to ridicule, and prone to feelings of inferiority. Self-consciousness is akin
to shyness and social anxiety, described by Fenigstein, Scheier and Buss (1975). Low scorers do not necessarily
have poise or good social skills, but they are simply less disturbed by awkward social situations.

In the NEO PI-R, impulsiveness refers to the inability to control cravings and urges. Desires or yearnings (for food,
cigarettes, possessions, a.s.o) are perceived by the high scorers as being so strong that the individual cannot
resist them, although he or she may later regret the behavior. Low scorers find it easier to resist such

temptations, having a high tolerance for frustration and the capacity to easier postpone gratifications. The term
impulsive is used by many theorists to refer to many different and unrelated traits. Therefore, NEO PI-R
impulsiveness should not be confused with spontaneity, risk-taking, or rapid decision time.

The final facet of N is vulnerability to stress. Individuals who score high on this scale feel unable to cope with
stress, becoming dependent, hopeless, or panicked when facing emergency situations. Low scorers perceive
themselves as capable of handling themselves in difficult situations and often have a healthy feeling of trust in
their adaptive abilities.

Warmth is the facet of Extraversion most relevant to issues of interpersonal intimacy. Warm people are
affectionate and friendly. They genuinely like people and easily form close attachments to others. Low scorers
are neither hostile nor necessarily lacking in compassion, but they are more formal, reserved, and distant in
manner than high scorers. Warmth is the facet of E that is closest to Agreeableness in interpersonal space, but it
is distinguished by a cordiality and heartiness that is not part of Agreeableness.

The second aspect of E is gregariousness, that is the preference for other peoples company. Gregarious people
enjoy the company of others, and the more the merrier. Low scorers on this scale tend to be loners who do not
seek, or even actively avoid social stimulation.

often become group leaders. Low scorers prefer to keep in the background and let others do the talking, come
up with ideas and propositions, assign tasks and lead group projects.

High scorers on this scale crave exciement and stimulation. They like bright colors and noisy environments.
Excitement-Seeking is akin to some aspects os sensation seeking (Zuckerman, 1979). Low scorers feel little need
for thrills and prefer a life that high scorers might find boring.

The last facet of E assesses the tendency to experience positive emotions such as joy, happiness, love, and
excitement. High scorers on the Positive Emotions scale laugh easily and often. They are cheerful and optimistic.
Low scorers are not necessarily unhappy; they are merely less exuberant and high-spirited. Research (e.g. Costa
& McCrae, 1980a) has shown that happiness and life satisfaction are related to both N and E, and that Positive
Emotions is the facet of E most relevant to the prediction of happiness.

Individuals who are open to fantasy have a vivid imagination and an active fantasy life. They daydream not
simply as an escape but as a way of creating for themselves an interesting inner world. They elaborate and
develop their fantasies and believe that imagination contributes to a rich and creative life. Low scorers are more
prosaic and prefer to keep their minds on the task at hand.

High scorers on this scale have a deep appreciation for art and beauty. They are moved by poetry, absorbed in
music, and intrigued by art. They need not have artistic talent, nor even necessarily what most people would
consider good taste; but for many of them, their interest in the arts will lead them to develop a wider knowledge

Openness to feelings implies receptivity to ones own inner feelings and emotions and the evaluation of emotion
as an important part of life. High scorers experience deeper and more differentiated emotional states and feel
both happiness and unhappiness more intensely then others. Low scorers have somewhat blunted affects and do
not believe that feeling states are of much importance.

Openness is seen behaviorally in the willingness to try different activities, go new places, or eat unusual foods.
High scorers on this scale prefer novelty and variety to familiarity and routine. Over time, they may engage in a
series of different hobbies. Low scorers find change difficult and prefer to stick with the tried-and-true.

Intellectual curiosity in an aspect of Openness that has long been recognized (Fiske, 1949). This trait is seen not
only in an active pursuit of intellectual interests for their own sake, but also in open-mindedness and a
willingness to consider new, perhaps unconventional ideas. High scorers enjoy both philosophical arguments and

development of intellectual potential. Low scorers on the scale have limited curiosity and, even when highly
intelligent, narrowly focus their resources on limited topics.

Openness to Values means the readiness to reexamine social, political, and religious values. Closed individuals
tend to accept authority and honor tradition and as a consequence are generally conservative, regardless of
political party affiliation. Openness to Values may be considered the opposite of dogmatism (Rokeach, 1960).

The first facet of Agreeableness is Trust. High scorers have a disposition to believe tat others are honest and
well-intentioned. Low scorers on this scale tend to be cynical and skeptical and to assume that others may be
dishonest or dangerous.

Straightforward individuals, that is, those individuals with high scores on this scale are frank, sincere, and
ingenuous. Low scorers on this scale are more willing to manipulate others through flattery, craftiness, or
deception. They view these tactics as necessary social skills and may regard more straightforward people as

naive. When interpreting this scale (as well as other A and C scale), it is particularly important to recall that
scores reflect standing relative to other individuals. A low scorer on this scale is more likely to stretch the truth
or to be guarded in expressing his or her true feelings, but this should not be interpreted to mean that he or she
is a dishonest or manipulative person. In particular, this scale should not be regarded as a lie scale, either for
assessing the validity of the test itself, or for making prediction about honesty in employment or other settings.

This facet of Agreeableness concerns characteristic reactions to interpersonal conflict. The high scorer tends to
defer to others, to inhibit aggression, and to forgive and forget. Compliant people are meek and mild. The low
scorer is aggressive, prefers to compete rather than cooperate, and has no reluctance to express anger when
necessary.

self-confidence or self-esteem. Low scorers believe they are superior people and may be considered conceited or

Competence refers to the sense that one is capable, sensible, prudent, and effective. High scorers on this scale
feel well-prepared to deal with life. Low scorers have a lower opinion of their abilities and admit that they are
often unprepared and inept. Of all the C facet scales, competence is most highly associated with self-esteem and

Individuals who score high on this facet have high aspiration levels and work hard to achieve their goals. They are
diligent and purposeful and have a sense of direction in life. Very high scorers, however, may invest too much in
their careers and become workaholics. Low scorers are lackadaisical and perhaps even lazy. They are not driven
to succeed. They lack ambition and may seem aimless, but they are often perfectly content with their low levels
of achievement.
