The Home Cook
I feed you, forgive you, and lose the recipe.
You feed everyone and forget the mess.
You will cook for whoever walks in, plans or none, and clean up eventually, or not. Nothing rattles you for long, so a burned dish or a canceled guest becomes a story by dinner.
Generous · Unruffled · Nurturing
The five together
Warm, calm and gloriously disorganised, you feed people, forgive people and lose things, and nobody has ever left your table hungry or hurried.
The Home Cook's result is high on Extraversion, Agreeableness and Emotional Stability, low on Conscientiousness and in the middle on 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 1,000 people
0.27% of a reference sample of 596,850 adults share this combination. The Home Cook is an uncommon combination.
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 Home Cook might recognize
- You cook enough for six people even when four show up.
- You forgive a canceled plan faster than you remember where you put your keys.
A question worth keeping
When feeding people is how you show love, what do you need someone to feed back to you?

The traits behind The Home Cook
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.
- 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.
- 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.
