The Citizen
I stay balanced everywhere except how much I feel.
Everything about you is average except your heart.
You are balanced in nearly everything except how much you feel, keeping an average order and a fair manner. The day's frictions travel home with you long after the day itself ends.
Balanced · Sensitive · Fair
The five together
You are balanced in nearly everything except how much you feel, keep an average order and a fair manner, and carry the day's frictions home with you.
The Citizen's result is low on Emotional Stability and in the middle on Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness and Openness. Each band is wide on purpose: a score near a boundary can fall either side on a retake, and the portrait describes the pattern, not a precise point.
About 1 in 100 people
1.3% of a reference sample of 596,850 adults share this combination. The Citizen is among the ten most common of the 243.
Bands are relative to a general adult reference sample. Honesty-Humility is measured in your Snapshot and appears in your report; it is not part of the portrait.
What The Citizen might recognize
- You can keep a fair, orderly week and still carry the day's tension into the evening.
- A tense meeting can stay with you long after everyone else has moved on.
A question worth keeping
What would change if you let the day's tension go before it followed you home?

The traits behind The Citizen
A portrait is a pattern across five measured dimensions. Every trait is reported as a percentile against the reference sample; the three bands and the portrait name exist to make the result easier to talk about, and the percentile is always shown alongside. Each dimension has its own page explaining what it means, what the research says it predicts, and how it can change.
- Balanced band, 30th to 70th percentileWhat is Extraversion?
How much you enjoy being around people, talking, and doing lively things, and how much energy that gives you.
- Balanced band, 30th to 70th percentileWhat is Agreeableness?
How kind, trusting, and cooperative you tend to be with other people, and how much you put getting along ahead of getting your way.
- Balanced band, 30th to 70th percentileWhat is Conscientiousness?
How organised, careful, and reliable you are about getting things done and keeping your promises.
- Quiet band, below the 30th percentileWhat is Emotional Stability?
How calm and even you usually feel, and how quickly you bounce back when something upsets you.
- Balanced band, 30th to 70th percentileWhat is Openness?
How much you enjoy new ideas, art, imagination, and experiences that are different from what you already know.
The Snapshot also measures Honesty-Humility, which appears in your report but is not part of the portrait code. How much you tell the truth, play fair, want only your fair share, and avoid showing off, even when you could get away with more.
