The Companion
I want the same walk and the same people, always.
You offer comfort that never asks for anything back.
You want the same small routines, the same walk, the same handful of people, kept loosely rather than by strict schedule. Your calm rarely breaks, and the people near you feel it as quiet permission to relax.
Loyal · Placid · Familiar
The five together
Loyal, placid and unhurried, you want the same walk, the same people and the same chair, and you offer a quiet comfort that never needs anything back.
The Companion's result is high on Agreeableness and Emotional Stability and low on Extraversion, 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 3 in 10,000 people
0.03% of a reference sample of 596,850 adults share this combination. The Companion is among the two rarest 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 Companion might recognize
- You return to the same few places and people instead of seeking out something new.
- A crisis that would rattle someone else barely changes your voice or your plans.
A question worth keeping
What would you want to try, if trying it did not risk any of the comfort you already have?

The traits behind The Companion
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.
- Quiet band, below the 30th percentileWhat is Extraversion?
How much you enjoy being around people, talking, and doing lively things, and how much energy that gives you.
- High band, above the 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.
- Quiet band, below the 30th percentileWhat is Conscientiousness?
How organised, careful, and reliable you are about getting things done and keeping your promises.
- High band, above the 70th percentileWhat is Emotional Stability?
How calm and even you usually feel, and how quickly you bounce back when something upsets you.
- Quiet band, below the 30th 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.

- Is The Companion a personality type?
- Not in the sense of a box you are sorted into. Wellington measures continuous traits and reports each as a percentile against a reference sample. The Companion names the combination of bands your scores fall in, and a score near a band boundary can land on either side on a retake. Wellington describes ordinary variation in personality; it is not a diagnosis and is not designed for hiring. Read more about types and traits
