Patrick Russell McElhiney took the www.understandmyself.com personality profile on 8/19/2018, which was created by Dr. Jordan B Peterson, a Canadian clinical psychologist, a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto, and author of “12 Rules For Life” [1]. Patrick learned about the psychologist on the Fox News program “The Next Revolution with Steve Hilton”, which originally aired on Sunday, August 19th, 2018 at 9PM EST [2]. This website compels that a specialized, personalized report will “help you understand your personality in great detail, and aid you substantially in your understanding of others” [3]. This information is being posted about Patrick McElhiney so that others can understand how his mind works, and how he views the world, to help him develop relationships with others, both personally and professionally.

The test was completed by answering 100 questions, of which the answers were compared to thousands of other men and women, irrelevant of age. The test discovered where Patrick R. McElhiney ranks on the following scales of the Big Five personality trait scientific model:

  • Agreeableness: Compassion and Politeness

  • Conscientiousness: Industriousness and Orderliness

  • Extraversion: Enthusiasm and Assertiveness

  • Neuroticism: Withdrawal and Volatility

  • Openness to Experience: Openness and Intellect

Each personality trait has positive and negative attributes related to them. The report suggests that much of what constitutes success in life is therefore “the consequence of finding the place in relationships, work and personal commitment that corresponds to your unique personality structure” [4].

The following information was taken directly from the report from Understand Myself, which will be discussed in detail below.
  

Agreeableness: Moderately Low (39%)

People like Patrick McElhiney, with moderately low levels of agreeableness, are seen by others as somewhat competitive, colder and less empathic. They can be stubborn, dominant, harsh, and skeptical. However, they tend to be straightforward, and even blunt, so you know where they always stand. They are less likely to look for the best in others, and are less concerned about the emotional state of others. They are willing to engage in conflict, and will sacrifice peace and harmony to make a point or (if conscientious) to get things done.

Patrick has a moderately low level of agreeableness, and is not particularly forgiving, accepting, flexible, gentle or patient. He doesn’t easily feel pity for those who are excluded, punished or defeated. Patrick also isn’t easily taken advantage of by disagreeable, manipulative or otherwise troublesome people, or by those with criminal or predatory intent. His skepticism plays a protective role, although it may interfere with his ability to cooperate with or trust others whose intentions are genuinely good. Patrick McElhiney can appreciate cooperation, but like competition, it has its clear winners and losers. He will rarely ever, and not easily lose arguments or avoid discussions with less agreeable people if they are conveying a message that is fundamentally wrong. He tends to be good at bargaining for himself, or at negotiating for more recognition or power.

People with moderately low levels of agreeableness are likely to have higher salaries and to earn more money, in consequence. They are therefore less likely to suffer from resentment or to harbor invisible anger. In addition, because of their tendency to engage in conflict, when necessary, moderately disagreeable people tend not to sacrifice medium- to long-term stability and function for the sake of short-term peace. This means that problems that should be solved in the present are often solved, and do not accumulate counterproductively across time for these types of individuals.

Agreeableness, per se, is not strongly associated with political liberalism or conservatism, but this is because the aspects of agreeableness predict such political belief in opposite ways, and cancel each other out. This may explain why Patrick McElhiney tends to see things in a bipartisan manner – not really leaning one way or the other in general. Liberals are higher in aspect of compassion, and conservatives in aspect of politeness. Patrick would tend to be more polite than compassionate, while not in all instances, and he would more likely run for an office as a conservative Democrat – not a liberal Republican. Alliance with the category of belief that has come to be known as politically correct is strongly predicted by agreeableness (particularly compassion). However, even though Patrick isn’t agreeable in business doesn’t mean he isn’t politically correct in most cases. Patrick does believe he is tolerant of others’ opinions, even when he doesn’t agree with them. He doesn’t believe he needs to address every issue to be electable – he only needs to do the right things, and it can be quite complicated to understand what those motions will be and plan for them before the time arrives, due to the volatile nature of running for public office.

Agreeable people strongly identify with those they deem oppressed, seeing them, essentially, as exploited infants, and demonize those they see as oppressors, seeing them as cruel, heartless predators. Since Patrick has a history of being repressed and abused, in many ways, he is conscientious of others that have suffered in the same ways, in addition to others, such as those that have been financially disadvantaged, or medically disabled not to their own fault, or those that were bullied when they were children and/or when they became older for any number of reasons. In most cases, Patrick doesn’t believe in calling out the perpetrators in public when they have done something wrong – he believes in proportionate responses through appropriate channels, rather than inciting his base to politically destroy his opponents. Patrick believes in liberty and justice for all, and he doesn’t meddle in other people’s business matters. Patrick believes in running a clean, honest campaign that doesn’t go negative. If anything, he’s more likely to endorse his opponents for humorous purposes, while watching his base grow as a result, without caving into demands to drop out of the race.

Patrick McElhiney believes his “not as nice” attitude is probably more temporary than permanent, as he tries to limit how much work he takes on, because he is currently working on organizing his business before he expands it a great deal. Patrick tends towards dominance, rather than submission in decision making. He also doesn’t want to take on too much work, because then he would fall behind. Even though Patrick is extremely smart, he is only one person, and he must reserve his skills and knowledge for the highest paying customers. There are exceptions to this – for an example Patrick has volunteered a lot in the environment, and has donated a lot of in-kind resources in the past to others, but he is very selective about what he does and who he does it with in general, for his own personal and professional reasons. He believes in conserving his resources and not taking on too much work, versus spreading himself too thin and damaging his professional reputation. In this sense, you may find it hard to communicate effectively with Patrick McElhiney – especially if you are looking to hire him to do something that he doesn’t really care about. Patrick exhibits patterns that are more likely to have him strike it rich and enjoy the rest of his life, rather than be locked down to work jobs that he doesn’t want to do.

Agreeableness has two aspects: Compassion and Politeness.
  

Compassion: Moderately Low (36%)

Less compassionate people are not primarily oriented towards the problems of other people or other living things. They are less swayed by cuteness. They are willing to make other people experience negative emotion by engaging in conflict and competition. They like to win, and are less concerned about helping other people. They make sure their own needs and interests are attended to, and are less likely to sacrifice for the sake of other people. This can make them appear harsh and unsympathetic. People might turn to them for the truth, but not for a soft, patient, eternally-listening ear. They are not markedly empathetic and caring. However, because they are not primarily other-oriented, they can often negotiate effectively on their own behalf, and are likely to get at least what they deserve (for their hard work, for example). In consequence, they are unlikely to harbor feelings of resentment or hidden anger.

Those who are liberal, politically, score somewhat higher in compassion than conservatives.

 

Politeness: Typical or Average (45%)

Typically, polite people can be deferential to authority, but can also be challenging, when necessary. They are not particularly obedient. They can be respectful, but will also push back if pushed. They are not made uncomfortable by the necessity of standing up to other people, if necessary. Typically, polite people like Patrick McElhiney will avoid conflicts, reasonably, but are not completely averse to confrontation.

Those who are liberal, politically, score somewhat lower in politeness than conservatives. 

 

Conscientiousness: Extremely High (99%)

Conscientiousness is a measure of obligation, attention to detail, hard work, persistence, cleanliness, efficiency and adherence to rules, standards and processes. Patrick McElhiney implements his plans and successfully establishes and maintains order when carrying out his duties in his work and at school.

Exceptionally conscientious people are extremely dutiful. Patrick can become extraordinarily uncomfortable by inactivity. An example of this was that during the Great Recession in 2008 – Patrick was still working diligently for his company, MCE123, even though it was producing very little revenue – and no profit what so ever. Patrick believes that hard work pays off, and he doesn’t pay attention to stock market conditions, for which he has no control over, when determining what will be a success story in the future. He knows what will make him successful – for an example this website, which really doesn’t account for profit, however it opens a dialogue with others which will help him to become famous in history, establishing millions of successful relationships in the process.

Patrick McElhiney works remarkably hard, and hates wasting time. He is extremely unlikely to procrastinate. If an exceptionally conscientious person promises to do something, he or she will do it, regardless of circumstances, and without finding excuses. Patrick is a man to his word. He doesn’t usually lie to others. Patrick is extraordinarily decisive, neat, organized, future-oriented, and reliable. He is not easily distracted. Other people may think of Patrick as excessively focused on achievement, productivity and order.

Exceptionally conscientious people are extremely likely to obtain higher grades in academic settings, and make extremely good administrators and managers. They must have everything in its proper place, and are likely to be obsessed with attention to details. They do things exactly by the book. Exceptionally conscientious people are remarkably prone to guilt. Patrick is extremely likely to organize his life so that he has little to feel guilty about – such as always doing the right thing. Extremely conscientious people are also extraordinarily susceptible to shame, self-disgust and self-contempt; however, Patrick rarely exhibits these characteristics.

Individuals who are exceptionally conscientious can react catastrophically to failure. They are extremely judgmental and are easily disgusted by their own moral transgressions, as well as those of others. Patrick suffers extreme shame and guilt when unemployed or otherwise unoccupied, even when that occurs through no fault of his own. Extremely conscientious people are exceptionally committed to personal responsibility. They are absolutely convinced that those who work hard should and will be rewarded, and that those who don’t work hard and strive deserve their failure. However, Patrick McElhiney still believes that people that are unable to work should be treated with respect and dignity – disability, for an example, isn’t something to be ashamed of. He also believes that even when you are disabled, you should still be as productive as possible – because your life is a terrible thing to waste.

Patrick McElhiney can be hyper-concerned with hygiene, moral purity and achievement. He can also be very micro-managing and controlling of others, because he believes that he does things best, and that others should be able to learn from his expertise. Exceptionally conscientious people are much more likely to be political conservatives; however Patrick doesn’t lean towards any one political party in this manner.

Conscientiousness has two aspects: Industriousness and Orderliness.

 

Industriousness: Exceptionally High (98%)

Exceptionally industrious people are extremely likely to be successful in school and in administrative and managerial positions. Patrick lives to work, and always must be doing something useful. He doesn’t like to sit around. He is extremely dutiful. Patrick never puts things off. He doesn’t usually mess things up. Patrick almost always finishes what he has started, and usually on or ahead of schedule. Patrick McElhiney is always obsessed with efficiency – accomplishing more in less time, with fewer resources. He has exceptional focus.

Exceptionally industrious people are extremely likely to judge shirkers or people who are incompetent harshly, and to want them out of the way. They are extraordinarily likely to believe that people fail because they don’t apply themselves or work hard enough. They feel extremely guilty, rapidly, if they do not do their duty. However, because Patrick is always staying on or ahead of schedule, and because he accepts his responsibilities, he rarely experiences actual guilt. He copes remarkably badly with enforced leisure or unemployment.

 

Orderliness: Exceptionally High (99%)

Patrick is extremely disturbed and disgusted by mess and chaos. He likes to keep everything extraordinarily tidy and organized. He sometimes thinks in remarkably black and white terms: things are good or bad, acceptable or unacceptable, with no grey areas. Patrick makes and sticks to schedules – he is almost never late to appointments, and rarely cancels out on others for non-emergencies. He likes everything exactly where it should be – and he very much wants to make sure it stays where it belongs. Patrick McElhiney is remarkably detail-oriented and, in the extreme, obsessive. He is extremely rule-abiding, and insist that rules are scrupulously observed and followed to the letter. Patrick can be very judgmental, harsh and punitive towards himself and others when rules are broken, or procedures are ignored. He cannot live without routine and predictability. Patrick can be extraordinarily good at ensuring that complex sensitive processes are managed properly and carefully.

Patrick McElhiney’s excessive orderliness can constrain his creativity, as creative endeavors often require mess, disruption and intervening periods of chaos. Patrick always likes to keep the house tidy and clean. Household disorder will trigger disgust and discomfort for Patrick faster than others. This may happen with enough frequency, so Patrick ends up doing a disproportionate share of such work when living with others. Orderly people are more likely to have items such as event calendars, drawer organizers, laundry baskets, irons and ironing boards in their immediate environments.
 

 

Extraversion: High (88%)

Patrick McElhiney is high in extraversion, which is the primary dimension of positive emotion in the Big Five personality trait scientific model. Extraversion is a measure of general sensitivity to positive emotions such as hope, joy, anticipation and approach, particularly in social situations.

People with high levels of extraversion are comparatively enthusiastic, talkative, assertive in social situations, and gregarious. They are typically energized by social contact, and crave it. They take great pleasure in planning parties, telling jokes, making people laugh, and taking part in community activities. Patrick has positive memories of the past, high levels of current self-esteem, and feels positive and optimistic about the future.

People who are highly extraverted have a difficult time keeping things to themselves, and tend to tell everyone everything. However, this isn’t the case with regards to all matters pertaining to Patrick R. McElhiney. There are major things that he has not disclosed to society, and he withholds them either for personal purposes, and/or for gaining more attention to the issues when they are revealed in the future.

Patrick is usually self-disclosing, and he warms up quickly to other people. He tends to speak first and most often in meetings. Patrick can be motivational and convincing, and is often the first to act. People who are high in extraversion make enthusiastic employees, and are well-suited to jobs involving sales, persuasion, and they work in groups and give public speeches. They are usually not as suited to occupations that require a lot of isolated work, such as computer programming or accounting. However, these fields are exactly what Patrick McElhiney excels in, and he can be very public about his success in these fields and hold up under pressure, which makes him the ideal C-level employee.

People high in extraversion can also be impulsive, particularly when it comes to having fun in social situations. They are more likely than average to sacrifice the future to the present, when something social or group-oriented beckons. It is somewhat difficult for Patrick to be alone, however he is self-reliant when it comes to studying and working. Patrick doesn’t usually need to ask for help – he gets the job done on his own. He can be easily distracted by opportunities to chat, joke and socialize, and for this reason he limits his interactivity through social media and when using telecommunications methods such as the telephone and text messaging. When individuals are extraverted and conscientious, they are more productive than if they are introverted and conscientious.

People high in extraversion are more dominant in social situations, particularly if they are also low in agreeableness. Less agreeable extraverts, like Patrick McElhiney, tend to be self-centered.

Extraversion has two aspects: Enthusiasm and Assertiveness.
  

Enthusiasm: Typical or Average (41%)

Individuals who are average in enthusiasm have their excitable moments, are sometimes happy, and are reasonably easy to get to know, but they are essentially moderate in their positive emotion. They will talk about things or people they find particularly interesting, but tend to keep quiet, otherwise. They laugh and joke, but not excessively. They don’t crave the spotlight. Patrick enjoys parties, in moderation, and generally likes to be around people, but he can spend time alone and feel just as good without being in the presence of others. He doesn’t warm up immediately to others, particularly in groups, and he keeps his own affairs private, in most cases. Patrick likes excitement, but only in moderate doses. Please, no roller coasters for Patrick! He is moderately positive about the past and future, and prefers progressive growth patterns in business, always beating out Wall Street expectations.

Patrick McElhiney’s enthusiasm is not strongly associated with his political preference, either conservative or liberal.

 

Assertiveness: Exceptionally High (98%)

Exceptionally assertive people are “take charge” types. They put their own opinions forward extremely strongly, and constantly dominate and control social situations. Exceptionally assertive people can be extremely influential and captivating. They have the communication style that is often associated with leadership. Patrick is a person of action. He doesn’t wait for others to lead the way, but instead he leaps in, heedlessly. He can be impulsive, in consequence, but he doesn’t usually act without thinking. Patrick is quick on his feet, and his mind is working in overdrive. 

 

Neuroticism: Exceptionally Low (1%)

Patrick McElhiney is exceptionally low in neuroticism, which is the primary dimension of negative emotions in the Big Five personality trait scientific model. Neuroticism is a measure of general sensitivity to negative emotions such as pain, sadness, irritable or defensive anger, fear and anxiety. This is quite astonishing, since Patrick has suffered from painful and debilitating chronic illnesses for over 20 years. It shows that Patrick has overcome the negative effects of his illnesses.

People with exceptionally low levels of neuroticism virtually never focus on the negative elements, anxieties and uncertainties of the past, present and future. It is extremely rare for Patrick to face periods of time where he is unhappy, anxious, or irritable, unless facing a serious, sustained, and complex problem. Even under the latter conditions, Patrick copes remarkably well, very rarely worries, and recovers extraordinarily quickly. Patrick never makes mountains out of molehills – when he knows he’s digging himself into a hole, he stops before it gets too deep, steps out of it, and fills it back in as if nothing happened. It’s very rare for Patrick to drill into the wood works or get loggerheads. Patrick McElhiney has exceptional levels of self-esteem, even when it appears others are throwing rotten vegetables at him. He is resistant to anxiety disorders and depression. He avoids getting into a rut; he never lets circumstances come to an impasse.

When good things happen to Patrick, he appreciates it; he doesn’t question whether he deserved it. He is extraordinarily satisfied with his relationships and careers. Overall, Patrick is extremely tolerant of stress, and tends to breeze through even the more severe failures and setbacks of life without acting out against others. Exceptionally low levels of neuroticism are associated with an absence of concern about mental and physical health, very rare visits to the emergency room, and almost no absenteeism at work and at school. This is important to note, because even though Patrick McElhiney has suffered from many major chronic illnesses for most of his life, it doesn’t get him down; he continues to sail into the storm, and alters course – at least temporarily – if the headwinds are too strong. As soon as the storm passes, he’s back on track – and is planning on getting a bigger boat for next time!

People with extremely low levels of neuroticism are very good at tolerating risk. Patrick McElhiney very rarely ever gets into trouble, and when he does, he admits it and apologizes so he can move forward again. Sometimes other people just get it wrong, but this doesn’t affect Patrick. He never stays in the same place for a prolonged period. He remains calm and collected in the face of even extreme uncertainty. He can thrive in recreational, career, financial, and social situations where the possibility of loss is higher. Patrick can consider and implement career changes and other transformations that could enhance his life with exceptional ease. He is a fast learner. He never gives up.

Patrick’s low level of neuroticism suggests that he would not likely pursue divorce, were he to become married in the future – he would more likely opt to work out the differences with his partner, as females tend to be higher in neuroticism than males. Biological factors – rather than the environment and learning – account for the dissimilarity between men and women.

Neuroticism has two aspects: Withdrawal and Volatility.
  

Withdrawal: Exceptionally Low (2%)

Individuals exceptionally low in withdrawal virtually never suffer from or are impeded by anticipatory anxiety. Patrick McElhiney can handle new, uncertain, unexpected, threatening or complex situations extremely well, from the emotional perspective. He is extremely unlikely to avoid or withdraw in the face of the unknown and unexpected – unless if it is potentially life threatening or financially damaging towards himself.

People with exceptionally low levels of withdrawal very infrequently feel sad, lonesome, disappointed, or grief-stricken – and, if they do, they feel the emotions very briefly and to a much lesser degree. Patrick’s life tends to be markedly free of doubt, worry, embarrassment, self-consciousness and discouragement, even in the face of genuine threat and punishment. He is resistant to and very rarely worried about social rejection, and almost never feels hurt or threatened, even when he is being threatened directly from others. Even when he hurts, feels frightened, or feels anxious, he recovers strikingly easily and remarkably quickly. In the past, this was not always the case, and may depend upon a medically identified chemical imbalance that was treated starting in 2015. People with very low levels of withdrawal are simply not worriers. Technically, withdrawal has been associated with activity in the brain systems that regulate passive avoidance.

 

Volatility: Exceptionally Low (1%)

Individuals exceptionally low in volatility are extraordinarily stable and predictable in their moods. They are virtually never irritable, and very rarely experience disappointment, frustration, pain, or loneliness. People may find being in Patrick’s presence is extremely easy and calming to the nerves. He very infrequently expresses his frustration or disappointment, and he usually appears remarkably reasonable, especially intellectually, when he does. Even on those unusually infrequent occasions where Patrick becomes stirred up, upset, angry or irritated, he calms down almost immediately. It seems that it takes others much longer to recover from Patrick’s sudden sadness, then it does for Patrick. He is not at all argumentative and almost never loses his composure. He also has an extremely contained temperament – not even passive aggressive – rather easy going and non-disputative in nature.

Even if Patrick is exceptionally provoked in a dispute, he will rarely react in kind. Exceptions to this are circumstances that are potentially life threatening or financially damaging, especially towards Patrick. He remains extremely calm and unperturbed, even when extraordinarily stressed. Volatile people tend to get upset if something bad does happen, while people high in withdrawal tend to be concerned that something bad might happen. Technically, volatility has been associated with activity in the brain systems that regulate fight, flight or freeze.
  

Openness to Experience: Moderately High (68%)

Patrick McElhiney is moderately high in openness to experience, which is the primary dimension of creativity, artistic interest, and intelligence (particularly verbal intelligence) in the Big Five personality trait scientific model. Openness to experience is a measure of interest in novelty, art, literature, abstract thinking, and philosophy, as well as sensitivity to aesthetic emotions and beauty.

People with moderately high levels of openness to experience are somewhat more likely than average to be characterized by others as smart, creative, exploratory, intelligent and visionary. They tend to be more interested in learning and in acquiring new abilities and skills. Patrick is both curious and exploratory. He finds himself interested in abstract thinking, philosophy, and the meaning of belief systems and ideologies. Patrick McElhiney likes to attend cultural events at movie theatres and museums. He enjoys writing – even if it is just to help him to remember his past, or to help shape his present to reflect what he needs to be doing to reach his intended future. Patrick enjoys complex, abstract ideas more than the average person, and likes to confront and solve problems.

Patrick has a wider range of interests than just reading. He has a broader and deeper vocabulary, including scientific and legal terms, ideal for exploring new business ventures, or just impressing his mates during a night out in the city. Patrick McElhiney can think and learn quite quickly. He is comparatively proficient at formulating new ideas, and tends to be extremely articulate. People moderately high in openness can sometimes see old things in new ways. They can formulate problems in a diverse range of ways, and can typically generate a reasonable number of problem-solving solutions. Patrick enjoys change, often to make things better for himself and others that have helped him along the way – but also just for the sake of change.

People who are moderately high in openness to experience are somewhat less well adapted to situations or occupations that are routinized and predictable. Patrick has extreme trouble fitting in at the bottom of hierarchies – he would rather stay in school until a company is willing to pay him enough that he feels his time spent there is worth-while, even if he racks up a trillion dollars in student loan debt. For this reason, Patrick is less suited to entry-level, repetitive, rote positions, because he is constantly thinking up new ways to do things, and such ideas are seldom welcome from someone at the bottom. Patrick is a creative thinker. He tends to shake things up a bit, and may be attracted to more revolutionary ideas, such as ridding the world of nuclear weapons. Patrick believes he has a higher purpose in life.

Individuals moderately high in openness to experience tend to be entrepreneurial in spirit, as well as smarter and more creative. They have more than average interest in creating new ventures, sometimes for profit, sometimes for curiosity, and sometimes for personal transformation. At least moderately high levels of openness to experience appear necessary to the formation and leadership of business and other forms of complex organizations, and Patrick’s high conscientiousness is a must for the attention to detail and process management that such organizations also always need.

People moderately high in openness to experience tend to be interested in many things. However, they can still typically settle on a single path in life, to specialize up to a necessary degree of expertise, and to create an integrated identity in society.

Openness to Experience has two aspects: Intellect and Openness.

 

Intellect: Very High (92%)

The personality aspect of Intellect should not be confused with IQ. Intellect is essentially a measure of interest in abstract ideas, while IQ is a measure of processing speed, verbal ability, working memory, and problem solving capacity, and is better measured with a formal IQ test. Patrick McElhiney’s IQ rating was 152, at the level of Extraordinary Genius, the last time he took it – so as you can see, it is possible to have a high IQ and a high personality aspect of Intellect. It is perfectly possible to have a high IQ and a low score on the personality trait of Intellect (or the reverse), however it’s also important to note that a person’s IQ can change over time – up or down, while the personality trait of Intellect should stay relatively static over time, unless there was a significant change in the individual’s personality or they answered the questions incorrectly on purpose.

People very high in intellect are notably interested in ideas and abstract concepts. They crave exposure to novel information, even when it is complex. They are highly curious and exploratory, and actively want to find, tackle and solve challenging problems. Patrick much more frequently seeks out and initiates issue-oriented discussions with others. He reads a lot of non-fiction books, to have idea-centered conversations with others at school, work, or social events. He is markedly articulate, and can formulate ideas clearly and quickly. Patrick has a broad and wide vocabulary, and continually wants to learn new things. People very high in intellect will constantly find and generate novel, creative concepts and voluntarily search for and adapt very well to new experience and situations.

People very high in intellect find complex, rapidly changing occupations necessary and will generally excel at them. However, they are very much less well-suited to stable, straightforward and more traditional occupations, where the rules don't change, and will experience frequent periods of boredom and intolerable levels of frustration in such positions.

 

Openness: Moderately Low (26%)

The closest synonym for openness (rather than openness to experience, which encompasses openness and intellect) is creativity. People moderately low in openness or creativity do not find beauty particularly important. Patrick tends not to require an outlet for his creative ability, and will certainly not wither away without it. He doesn’t particularly appreciate art or beautiful crafts, unless when they are sentimental, such as works by family members, and Patrick is less sensitive to color and architectural form – even though he has a soft spot for contemporary buildings and sky scrapers. Patrick is less imaginative, and reflects less often than average to others, especially considering personal appearances. Patrick doesn’t really need music in his life, even though he has been a musician previously when he was a young man. Patrick generally doesn’t become immersed in a fictional book, or a movie, or in his own thoughts if they are off topic from his professional work.

People of moderately low openness tend to be quite stable and conventional. At least moderate levels of openness tend to be necessary for entrepreneurial success, and prove comparatively useful at the top of hierarchies, even in very conservative occupations such as banking, accounting, and law, which need creative people in leadership positions to provide new vision and direction. Patrick’s creativity is limited to his contractual work with marketing and IT clients through the development of websites, which his role is usually more architectural than artistic – though it still does require quite a bit of creativity. Patrick can combine his ideas, and the ideas of others, to produce impressive works – though most wouldn’t be able to appreciate the creativity in the creation of computer source code, as they only see how the website appears rather than understands how it works in a creative sense.
