The Head Coach
I hold the standard, and I feel every loss.
You drill people to a standard you set.
You push a team hard toward a standard you believe in and rarely accept less. A loss stays with you for days, and you run the plays that have won before rather than experimenting with new ones.

The five together
Loud, organised and demanding, you drill people to a standard, feel every loss as your own, and run the plays that have always won.
The Head Coach's result is high on Extraversion and Conscientiousness, low on Emotional Stability and Openness and in the middle on Agreeableness. 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 Head Coach
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.
- High band, above the 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.
- High band, above the 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.
- 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.

Wellington describes ordinary variation in personality; it is not a diagnosis and is not designed for hiring. Read more about types and traits
