Throughout history, there have been quite a few attempts to classify existing personality types into as many categories as possible, including the mystical horoscope or MBTI personality assessment. According to the horoscope, there are 12 types of personalities, and MBTI has 16 personality types, but a new study at Evanston University in Illinois found that all people in the world can be classified into four personality types, based on how they score on 5 different indices: Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, Openness, and Neuroticism.
Based on these indicators and the classification of the existing personality types, we’ve put together a test that will identify your personality type for you. Answer the following questions and find out which of the four types you belong to. Some of the answers may look similar, but please make sure to choose the answer that best matches your approach to the subject you are being asked about.

READ MOREDon’t think for a second that "average" means "boring" - it simply means that your personality type earned an average score in neuroticism and extroversion, while at the same time receiving low scores on the openness index, and these are resulting most people showed when participating in the study. You probably don’t worry yourself over what others think of you, nor are you frequently sad or in a bad mood. You also prefer routine and avoid changes, but you should keep your mind open and try new things every once in a while.

READ MOREYou got a high score on the Openness Index and Conscientiousness Index, which indicates that you are very emotionally stable and its almost impossible for you to suffer from neuroticism. You're probably a quiet, pleasant person who doesn’t try to stand out too much - we doubt you’d be caught dancing on a table top at a party. However, you are definitely a person that others want around because you can always be trusted to help in times of trouble. Surely, we would all want a friend like you in times of need!

READ MOREYou scored high on all positive measures - agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness and extroversion - and low on the negative measures - neuroticism. It's very likely that other people adore you and look at you as a figure that inspires them, and we think you're an older person, or at least someone with a wealth of life experience, because the older you get, the more likely you are to belong to this personality type. You are someone who likes to go out, is very sociable, emotionally stable and able to work hard - all it takes to be a perfect role model.
You received a high score on the extroversion index, and a low score on the agreeableness, conscientiousness, and... READ MOREYou received a high score on the extroversion index, and a low score on the agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness indices. According to this information, we can assume that you are young because as one grows older, they become less self-centered and develop a personality that is more fitting of a role model. According to the study, males are usually those with this type of personality, and if you are an adult you probably have a young soul that refuses to grow up, but it may be time for you to change a few things in your life and aspire to be a more open and comfortable person.
