   High · 75 of 100

   Sensitivity to negative emotions

   You feel negative emotions strongly and often. You may notice problems early and take them seriously, but stress can weigh on you.

   Neuroticism is about how strongly and how often you feel negative emotions such as worry, sadness, irritation and fear.

   Aspects

   • VolatilityAverage · 60
     Irritability, anger and quick mood swings

     You can get annoyed, but you usually keep your temper and calm down again.

     Volatility is the outward side of neuroticism: how quickly you get annoyed or upset and how hard it is to keep your emotions in check.
   • WithdrawalHigh · 90
     Worry, anxiety, self-doubt and low mood

     You often worry, doubt yourself and feel overwhelmed. You tend to see risks clearly, but they can hold you back.
