The Local
I don't need new places. I need my place.
Home does not have to be exciting.
You like familiar company and familiar habits, and you keep no particular system beyond what already works. Most days pass evenly, and you rarely feel the pull toward anything untested.
Grounded · Amiable · Unbothered
The five together
Easygoing, ordinary and content, you like familiar company and familiar habits, keep no particular system, and stay mostly calm as long as the routine holds.
The Local's result is low on Conscientiousness and Openness and in the middle on Extraversion, Agreeableness and 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.
About 7 in 1,000 people
0.65% of a reference sample of 596,850 adults share this combination. The Local is a common 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 Local might recognize
- You return to the same restaurant, the same route, the same handful of people.
- A moved plan throws you off longer than a canceled one ever does.

The traits behind The Local
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.
- 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.

- Is The Local a personality type?

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