ANALYSIS
Those with high scores tend to seek thrills in life, they love novel experiences and the spice of a little danger. They are easily bored and so seek new sensations and exciting experiences to become involved in. This may be because they do not like their own company and mental environment and so seek to be immersed in outside stimuli to escape from home truths.
Those with low scores have little need for excitement and adventure; instead they prefer the secure and familiar comforts of home. They may be scared of social intercourse and risk-taking; or they may be "deep thinkers" who feel that parties and the like are a waste of their valuable time and small-talk to be trivial.
How do you compare?
The norm on this trait is between 15-16 points (a statistical approximation). This may be represented on the following scale:
