Emotional Stability (score 50)

Emotional stability assesses overall emotional strength, and the ability to withstand stress.

Emotionally stable individuals are generally composed and confident, even under stressful situations. They are not prone to extreme or inappropriate displays of emotion, and experience little guilt, anxiety, depression, and self-consciousness in comparison to their less stable counterparts. Emotional instability suggests insecurity and nervousness, as well as excess worry and self-doubt. You report experiencing fairly stable emotions, although this is not always the case. At times, this inconsistency may interfere with your ability to handle the stresses inherent in everyday life, but most of the time, you can handle them quite well.

Extroversion (score 46)

Extroversion refers to whether you prefer interacting with others or enjoy spending time on your own.

You scored somewhere in the middle between introversion and extroversion, which means that you draw characteristics from both ends of the spectrum. Sometimes, you need time to yourself, preferring to think things through on your own. Other times, you enjoy interacting with others. Overall, you are likely a fairly outgoing person who occasionally opts for solitude. You likely need a balance of alone time and time with others in your life because you can become a little overwhelmed if you ignore the introverted side of yourself.
