The Regular
I know this place, and this place knows me.
You belong here without ever trying.
You know every name in the place and never plan further than tonight. A bad night passes by morning, and you would not trade the regular order for anything on the new menu.
Familiar · Easygoing · Loyal
The five together
Outgoing, easygoing and unfussy, you know everyone in the place, keep no plan beyond tonight, stay level, and would not change the menu for anything.
The Regular's result is high on Extraversion, low on Conscientiousness and Openness and in the middle on 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.

The traits behind The Regular
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.
- 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.
Questions about The Regular

- 0.32% of a reference sample of 596,850 adults share this combination. The Regular is an uncommon combination among the 243 portraits in the reference sample, and the share will move as the norming sample grows.

- Take the free Wellington Snapshot: 60 questions, about 7 minutes. You answer all the questions first, then you sign in with an email so your answers are saved and your results can be shown. There is no card. Your free results name your portrait and show your five dimensions.
- Is The Regular 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 Regular 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
