If they're really used as much as my business lecturer would have us believe, then I'm screwed. In the set book we have to read for that part of our course (I'm an engineering student), at the end of the chapter on personality there was a shortened version of the "Big 5" personality test that we could take (apparently this one is used the most)...I scored highly on "conscientiousness", but also highly on "negative emotionality" and got a low score on "extroversion". So, basically it's telling me I'm a neurotic introvert - not exactly a comforting thought when, as an engineer, I'd have to stay calm under pressure and spend a lot of time working in teams. I have no idea if there's even any job that those would be positives. It's things like this that make me dread graduating...maybe I should just stay on and do a postgrad course when I'm done...
