Introverts tend to curate a handful of close friends, not collect a tribe. We love to go deeper, not wider, with our people circle and there might come a time when a lack of kindred spirits leaves a real gap.

Because we gravitate toward solo activities, love our quiet time, and think that a good book beats a party any day, Introverts have to make conscious decisions when it comes to forming and maintaining friendships.

Relationships come with their fair share of work, and that amount of work can vary depending on you and your partner’s personality types. While people with opposing personality types can coexist and even thrive, you may experience common issues like miscommunication, tension or disappointment when your relationship has some weak spots.  

There are some really great reasons to take a personality test. Understanding your own strengths and motivations can help you make better decisions about what kind of career, lifestyle and relationships are right for you and, let's face it, it feels good to know yourself.

But if you’re trying to use personality assessments as a fix-all solution, you’re doing it wrong. While tests can be a helpful and effective tool to improve your understanding of yourself and others, there are limitations to what they can do for you.

Do you ever feel like you find it harder to bounce back from misfortune than other people? As if, somehow, your friends and family are more equipped to handle stressful situations than you?

If so, you may want to try the Big Five Personality test and discover your Neuroticism score.

Neuroticism refers to a person's tendency towards responding to situations with distressing emotions like anxiety, depression, guilt and shame.
