Friendly

I would rather hang out with others than spend time alone, and I'd far rather be doing something with my friends than just sitting around. I'm happy in a crowded room, club, stadium, or auditorium.

I'm not a private person who is ill at ease in a group; I don't view excessive socializing as a waste of time.

Warm

I have a genuine interest in other people. I'm a natural host, and are always thinking about how I can increase the happiness of those around me. When friends have problems or are in trouble, I'm usually the first person they turn to for aid and comfort.

I don't always say exactly what I'm thinking; I don't like the idea of causing anyone pain because of my criticism.

I am among those who enjoy domestic activities — doing things around the house — and are enthusiastic about charitable work, helping others, and making the world a better place.

Understanding

I am willing to take the time to find out what's going on with other people, especially if they're in distress. I'm a good listener, I don't criticize, and I offer unbiased, respectful, honest advice when it's requested.

I don't feel the need to impose my standards on others or say things that, even though true, cause pain.

I am enthusiastic about charitable work, helping others, and making the world a better place.

Upbeat

I enjoy being around others and others enjoy being around me. I have a "live and let live" attitude; because I know that no one's perfect, I am forgiving and happy to give the benefit of the doubt.

I don't feel the need to be controversial or express contrary opinions all the time. I see no reason to go around rubbing people the wrong way.

Empathetic

I am in touch with my own feelings, which helps put me in touch with the feelings of others.

I don't buy the logic that my happiness comes ahead of everyone else's because unless I'm happy I'm incapable of making anyone else happy.

Conscientious

I feel it's important to work according to a plan and finish every task, to do things correctly and thoroughly.

I am not the kind of person who abandons a project before finishing it, or slacks off when I've lost interest.

Focused

I know how to lock in on what's important. I quickly prepare myself for a task, I don't procrastinate, and I don't let up until the job is done to my satisfaction.

I am the opposite of scattered. I don't procrastinate before starting a task, and I almost never lose track of what I'm doing.

Optimistic

I am a "glass half-full" kind of person, always on the lookout for the silver lining. My happiness is contagious, which is why others like to be around me.

I do not feel that the world is an intrinsically depressing place; I'm not the kind of "realist" who thinks that only fools find joy in life.

Prudent

I look before I leap, think before I act, consider what I'm about to say before I open my mouth to speak; that's why I rarely have to eat your words.

I usually don't get excited easily or blurt out the first thing that comes to mind without considering the consequences.

Calm

I rarely become irritated, generally accept people as they are, take things as they come, and feel relaxed in most situations.

I do not let a minor annoyance escalate to a confrontation. I don't regularly snap at those around me or fly off the handle with little provocation.
