After taking the online test my results were: Extraversion at 63%, Openness to Experience at 59%, Conscientiousness at 60%, Agreeableness at 62%, Neuroticism at 68%. Analyzing my results made me realize I was greatly more emotionally driven than I originally realized. I am aware that I do usually become angry easily, however, I have not considered how emotionally driven my actions can be if under the right conditions. I was surprised about how low my score for Agreeableness was. I do not do well in a team setting, however, I make it work the best I can; which is why the low score shocked me. I have the personal issue of dreading being proved wrong but I tend to hide that irrational emotion to make teams work.
I believe most people reach the levels of 'Love'. Despite the level being located in the direct middle of the hierarchy pyramid, love seems to be a physiological requirement; without love one will not feel that they have a true purpose which may result in death of motivation and desire for more. The major roadblock stopping most people from achieving "Self-esteem Needs" or "Self-Actualization Needs" is their negative self-image. "Self-esteem Needs" are mental needs that require a positive self-image and a sense of self-worth. Unfortunately, many people do not recognize their true potential, and instead, they hold themselves back with negative self-talk and self-deprecation. In other words, I do not believe people usually reach Self-Actualization because they are deprecating themselves instead of looking at whom they truly are.
I hope this insight was helpful,
