It seems that my character is the same from when I was a young child, but the rest of me is still evolving with every experience. That won't stop until I am dead.

My OCEAN has become more salty, although I want to change it, but it will take time. I am more honest and I find that people do not prefer that characteristic as much as they claim.

1. Honesty and humility=grew up with advantages but pushed them aside past adolecence. Very i2mportant to me.

2. Emotionality used to be very high-high managable level now.

3. Extraversion was low until my 20s when I took Dale Carnegie courses, public speaking classes and started a career in sales

4. Agreeableness always high-never hold grudges..

5. Conscientiousness-Was higher when I was working-since retirement its gone down-.

6. Oppenness to Experience -would be mid-range to high.

Yes and no.

At the age of 80, on those 5 dimensions of personality, at the age of 80 I have changed little, except to be more intolerant of sloppy thinking, bigotry, religious zealotry, demagoguery, and greed. What l have changed is how I live my life as my body gets older, with the physical effects of aging.
From he age of 30 through 60 I had high energy levels, often working 60 - 80 hour weeks conceptualizing, building, and implementing programs of action . I read and learned voraciously,
Those efforts brought me into contact with thousands of people. And I loved the whole thing.
I had real goals and pursued them with vigor.

Today, with vision problems, I no longer read much. My goals are short-term -- this week, this growing season, this year. I live more in my mind today, while remaining as physically active as my aging body will allow me to be..

I'm still evolving. The person I was during my 20s and 30s is virtually nothing like the person I am now. Thank goodness!

I think age gives more dimensions to each trait if that makes sense. Understanding what to be modest about and what not to can change a person. I know I've changed over time but I don't know if it's my corest of traits but how I apply them and when I withhold them.

Yup, when I was diagnosed with ADHD and began treatment I became LESS of an asshole but still an asshole.

I used to Chase Tail as if it was going Out of Style. Not anymore... Content with the Memories and still in touch 20 years later. I am Happy how things have turn out. I still am Enamored by the Feminine Sex. Maybe Now I Am Ready to Surrender!!!! MAYBE.

Geeze... I feel some relief about certain issues. Other people's questions are are complicated and require a lot of thought. I don't always agree with what i read because I'm wired differant. But it makes me think and wonder if I'm wrong. Sometimes i change my mind and sometimes I stand my ground. Am I evolving... possibly. Are my true colors starting to show... most probable. Am I insulated by a negetive reply... it makes me dig a little deeper to check my answer... I have been wrong.... Yes! and I will admit it. If there's a personal experience that directs my answer... I will stand my ground. I have a right to my answer unless it offends ... then I will retract my statement and apologize. So... there I am....me!

I would say my emotionality and agreeableness have gone down whilst my extroversion and conscientiousness have increased.

Sam Harris says the self is a process rather than a static entity and I'll go along with that, but I think we grow into ourselves. The adolescent me was as much me as I am today, but there are stark differences.

Honesty Humility Scale: The desire to cheat or manipulate others is always something that I find repugnant. It is the result of being conditioned in zero-sum game theory and stuck there.

Emotionality Scale: I am somewhere in the middle range of this scale, however, I am inclined to think that this is true for many people and to some extent it is,for want of a better description, situationally relevant.

Extraversion Scale: I would score high because I am someone who enjoys meeting and conversing with people on a variety of topics. I have been told that I relate well to others. I am renowned for my sense of humor.

Agreeableness Scale: I do not hold grudges against others and prefer to deal with the matter ASAP and move on. I am lenient and fair in my dealings with others. I understand the concept of cooperation and the need to achieve a common goal with others.

Conscientiousness Scale: Currently, I would place my self n the middle range and would have no problem changing to meet the requirement of the higher end of the scale.

Openness to Experience Scale: I think I tick all the boxes for the high end of the scale.
Now, where is my box of cookies for completing this survey?.....LOL

apart from physically, I have hardly changed since I was a child, I know it myself, I reflect a lot. Also in the past year or so people from my past have made contact, and all say the same thing, I was always as I am now. So I guess I haven't grown or matured much.

For me, while there have been some changes over the years (how could there not be?) I don't think I'm dramatically different from the person I was many years ago.

I am a New Man every day.

Constantly changing, at least for me. I am striving to be a better person every day.

If you are not changing, you are dead intellectually and emotionally. Otherwise, you try to become better in who you are and how you feel about yourself and others.

I've changed so much in my life, I think living is change. I'm much more direct now than I ever was, and more sure of what I do want or will not tolerate. I like me better now too.

I've changed quite a lot since my teen years and strive to change everyday. If you aren't changing/growing, you're stuck.
