Personality data used within summary synthesis (2019-2025)

Source: https://openpsychometrics.org/

Disclaimer: If you're placing this data into an LLM, then keep in mind that each individual model has its own internal form of personality; specifically identifiable text-generation model quirks are colloquially referred to as "slop". Generations are fundamentally style-approximations. They are not representative of me as an individual.

Big 5	2σ-	1σ-	μ	1σ+	2σ+
Emotional Stability	92	95	97	99	100
Intellect/Imagination	95	95	96	96	97
Conscientiousness	51	61	71	81	91
Agreeableness	4	19	35	50	66
Extroversion	6	14	22	30	38

The Big 5 is the dominant paradigm in personality science due to the model's extensive replicability and predictive validity.

I regularly max the scores for threat-resilience (the inverse of depression, irritability, and moodiness). I regularly max the scores for creativity, curiosity, and willingness to entertain new ideas; high openness isn't strictly a benefit because a strong internal drive towards exploration/novelty exists at the cost of routine. This is buffered by conscientiousness, in that I prefer some form of flexible structure or can be uber-routine/diligence/attention to detail. I am generally not cooperation-at-all-costs; I am able to be socially cohesive or completely dominant. Social interactivity significantly drains me.

Related to threat-resilience: sometime around 2024 a stress test administered by a cardiology specialist placed me within the 'Elite Athlete' category. I've reached the annoying-to-deal-with milestone where the amount of lean muscle mass I have means I can't use weighing scales - a 25 BMI places me in an unhealthily low bodyfat % range.

Dark Triad	2σ-	1σ-	μ	1σ+	2σ+
Machiavellianism	2.4	3.0	3.7	4.3	4.9
Narcissism	1.4	2.3	3.0	3.7	4.5
Psychopathy	0.3	0.8	1.3	1.7	2.2

The Dark Triad is an extensively replicated risk-mitigation assessment for positions of authority.
The average population is 3.00±0.65 for Machiavellianism & Narcissism, 2.00±0.65 for Psychopathy.

In the context of a normal distribution: my scores indicate a 30% higher than normal manipulative cynicism. I have average vanity, self-superiority, entitlement. I have a minimum 90% lower than average callousness, impulsivity, criminality.
I prefer virtue-ethics, followed by deontology. So, I don't really jive with the "do goal at all costs" utilitarian-esque part of machiavellianism.

Experience in Close Relationships Scale (>2.5 indicates dysfunctional behavior)	2σ-	1σ-	μ	1σ+	2σ+
Anxiety	1.8	1.9	2.1	2.2	2.2
Avoidance	1.1	1.3	1.6	1.9	2.1

The ECR scale is a scientifically sound measure of adult attachment. It can predict dysfunctional/obsessive behavior within organizational heirarchies and professional relationships. None of my behavior is able to be characterized as dysfunctionally attached.

Critical thinking scores

A 2001 study indicates replicability issues with this test, particularly with the "analysis" subscore. Funnily enough, my only subscore that isn't at the highest level is the one in question. I was given this test in both Logic and Chemical Biology courses 15 years after this public criticism, so I don't know if anything has been subsequently modified to be more rigorous. Nevertheless: alternative, more behaviorally-anchored assessment methods provide more defensible measures. Also, obviously these scores are improved with any nootropic supplementation modifying my neurogenetics between 2017-2020, as 2020 is the year my brain reached the commonly considered steady-state maturation ;)
