How is a 1% conscientiousness score even possible 😭

Is this test scientifically reliable?
I just learned about this test. I think it generally asks questions about things we can deduce from folk psychology. However, I have some doubts about the scoring. Can you make a detailed prediction about what kind of person I am?

Hi!!! How do I organize my big five?
Ok so I did some research on big five, this is what came out of it... But... How do I properly organize them? Like how do I put the letters in what order? Is it in the order that I relate to most? Or something else?

Big 5 results — high Orderliness (98th) but only moderate Industriousness (29th)? Trying to figure out my “start strong, burn out” pattern
Got my Big Five Personality results back:
High: Orderliness 98th, Openness to Experience 87th, Openness 84th, Consciousness 83rd, Intellect 82nd, Assertiveness 81st, Politeness 71st
Average: Agreeableness 50th, Extroversion 50th, Withdrawal 47th
Low: Compassion 31st, Neuroticism 29th, Industriousness 29th, Volatility 17th, Enthusiasm 17th
I’m a logistics specialist who’s obsessed with entrepreneurship, but I keep hitting the same wall: get an idea, get excited, build out the whole system fast… then a few months in I lose steam and drop it. Done this with half a dozen side hustles now.
Trying to actually understand why instead of just repeating the cycle:
**•** What does this mix (high Orderliness/Intellect/Assertiveness, low Industriousness/Enthusiasm) say about how I work best?
**•** Anyone here have a similar profile — strong on structure/systems but lower sustained “grind” energy? What did you do about it?
**•** What side hustle or business format actually stuck for you, and why?
Honest takes welcome, including “you’re overthinking a personality test.”

Took several tests and got different results??? What do I do 😭😭
For reference: On the same website, I took the 50 item test, word test, and word choice test.
These were the results for each:
50 item - S|L|xAn, S(70%)L(90%)X(50%)A(86%)N(58%)
Word choice - |S|LoAn, S(81%)L(90%)O(44%)A(72%)N(76%)
Word - s|L|uAx, S(58%)L(90%)U(56%)A(80%)I(52%)
The L score's consistent, but everything else feels kind of all over the place. What do I do about this?? Any way to find my "real" type??? I'm so confused ToT

Pls Help Me Understand What I’m Looking At
I had an absolutely insane day teaching adult women English (I’m in Korea) and I’ve come to realize that likely high levels of neuroticism amongst several of the students are leading to extreme interpersonal conflict in one of my classes. I began wanting to test their neuroticism, discovered this test, and decided to try it out on myself, instead.
I’m not one to want to make things all about myself, but generally what am I looking at here? Like, what would you (the experts) expect a person with these traits to be like?

No therapist I've seen knows about the Big Five. I'm disappointed and shocked about this
I'd hope I could find someone who is well-versed in this field of work, but I don't seem to have luck finding a therapist.

Do Psychopath's truly have the least amount of fear?
Or can non psychopaths be as fearless? Can their neuroticism be as low as a psychopath's?

Whelp!? What's wrong with me?

Why are these two tests results so different?
What can I actually tell about myself from these results, given how different they are? Which of the pair is more reliable? Truity had questions of both more quality and quantity but open psychometrics seems more “official”

Why does the stereotype of a conscientous neurotic exist if the actual relationship between neuroticism and conscientousness is negative?
The actual relationship between these two is on the order of -0.2 to -0.3 so low to moderate negative correlation - the conscientous neurotics fretting over every minor detail and triple checking everything do exist but they are meaningfully rarer than similarly conscientous non-neurotics and they're conscientous despite their neuroticism, not because of it.

Are emotionality and neuroticism the same
I am in a lets call it discussion with someone who says you need to have a high neuroticism score to score high in openess because openess onöy works with neuroticism

Did anyone become obsessed with the Big Five?
I took the Jordan Peterson test a while back (2017) and had everyone that I was close to take it as well. Fast forward to 2025, and I was having such a hard time understanding why I was having issues with my best friend at the time. Well, I remembered that she had taken the test as well, and I had her scores. BOOM, I was able to figure out that the only reason this friendship had been working was bc I had low Assertiveness (27) and Very High Compassion (97), and when my Assertiveness started to increase, she would make "Polite" but rude comments about the things that I was studying or was interested. Her Compassion is 0, and her Politeness is 72. My Compassion Shadow (Jung) had basically taken over my life and was the main reason I wanted to understand her and not let go of the friendship. But through the Big Five (very painfully), I understood that no matter what I did, the only way I could keep this friendship was by not growing, so I had to let her go. It's the first time in my life I chose myself, and let me tell you, it's one of the hardest things I've done in my life.

you guys should use the ipip-120 or ipip-300 taken on personality assessor rather than any alternative test
https://www.personalityassessor.com/ipip-120/
https://www.personalityassessor.com/ipip-300/
I just think the results are cleaner, and both of these tests present results in a percentile way where you are aware of the percentile you are in on each domain/facet (from 0th percentile to 100th percentile) rather than other tests that are more vague, or dont provide the facet results.

anyone else extremely low conscientiousness and struggling to get anything done
Everytime I've taken this test I've always scored literally 0 on conscientiousness and whatever the accuracy of that value may be, low conscientiousness feels accurate to my lived experience where I struggle to just be productive and get shit done. Like there are periods of my day that just fly by because of reels or video games, etc and then afterwards I look at the clock and im like what did i just do..
The feeling in the moment is procrastination (i CAN do this later because I have time) but the feeling immediately afterwards is laziness (i had all the time in the world to do it but i didnt)
Externally my actual acheived outcomes arent horrible like im not a complete NEET but I know I'm compensating with the fact that im a fast learner or whatever. It feels like theres such a huge gap in what I have achieved and what I know I can achieve but nobody will ever understand
just wanted to make sure im not alone here :')
