The Good Soul
I keep my door open and my plans loose.
You are kind without making a show of it.
You help people quietly and let the schedule sort itself out, because plans matter less to you than the people they involve. Most days pass evenly, and the ones that do not, you get through without much fuss.
Unpretentious · Even-tempered · Rooted
The five together
You are kind without ceremony, calm without effort, loose about plans and firm about people, and you keep your door open to anyone who knows to knock.
The Good Soul's result is high on Agreeableness, low on Extraversion, Conscientiousness and Openness and in the middle on Emotional Stability. 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.

The traits behind The Good Soul
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.
- Balanced band, 30th to 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.
