Someone who is high in the Big 5 trait known as conscientiousness is organized, disciplined, responsible, and motivated to keep promises and achieve their goals, both short- and long-term. Take this quiz to find out how conscientious you are.
This test is for anyone who is curious about their own level of conscientiousness and how it may be affecting their relationships and career success. It is designed for adults and is not intended to be diagnostic.
Whether low conscientiousness is interfering with your goals or high conscientiousness is triggering burnout, seeking the help of a therapist can be immensely valuable. Find a professional near you on the Psychology Today Therapy Directory.
