(2018-09-17) Scientists Determine Four Entirelynew Personality Types

Scientists determine four entirely-new personality types. Experts questioned 1.5 million people around the world and uncovered that respondents were either average, reserved, self-centred or role models.

The four personality clusters are scored according to varying proportions of the 'Big Five' personality traits.

Average people are high in neuroticism and extraversion, while low in openness

The Reserved type is emotionally stable, but not open or neurotic.

Role Models score low in neuroticism and high in all the other traits

The likelihood that someone is a role model increases dramatically with age

Self-Centred people score very high in extraversion and below average in openness, agreeableness and conscientiousness. There is a very dramatic decrease in the number of self-centred types as people age

good news for parents of teenagers everywhere. As people mature, their personality types often shift. For instance, older people tend to be less neurotic yet more conscientious and agreeable than those under 20 years old

these data show there are higher densities of certain personality types
