Character Study

I analyzed my boyfriend, Kheland.
I asked his parents about his personality when he was a child up until right now and I had him take the same personality test that I took. I also asked him how he would describe his own personality and I'm going to give my opinion on what his personality is like. 
I asked both his mom and dad what he was like when he was little, an older kid, and now. Kheland's father described him as always being fun, laid back, loyal, and hard-headed. His mom used the words adventurous, brave, loving, and hard-headed also for when he was a kid and words she would use now that he is a young adult are loud, easy-going, compassionate, considerate, reliable, giving, and that he has a big heart. I agree with what both of his parents said and then some. 
I made him take one of the personality tests that was offered to us to take because I thought it would result in something interesting. The test was 120 questions and it was based on the Five-Factor Model of Personality. Kheland scored a 6 in openness and I see and understand why that score is so low. He isn't really into trying a lot of new things and he doesn't enjoy going out and doing spontaneous things either. His Conscientiousness score was average. I don't understand this score that he received because he can be lazy and a procrastinator when it comes to school work or getting things done in a timely fashion. He does have goals and obviously does what to achieve them, but does not always go about it in the way that someone should. I believe him to be an introvert and his Extraversion scored proved that to be correct. He is only loud and will only carry on conversations with people that he is comfortable with like family and close friends. This goes along with his openness score and not wanting to go out and do new things. His Agreeableness score was also pretty average because he works well with others to an extent like if he has to for a school project or at work. He fits into the agreeable category well because he also hates being called out on things and hates when he is confronted and initiating confrontation. Lastly, his Neurocitism score was on the high end of average. Kheland does not respond to stressful situations very well and he has a pretty bad temper and sometimes has a hard time controlling it. Seeing that his score was so high is also a little surprising to me because he is usually positive and will try to look at the good side of things and will encourage others to do the same. 
I hope that these pictures give a glance at what is personality is like. Once he has opened up to you he is funny and will constantly have you laughing. He is very caring and protective of his baby sister who is 2 and a half. She has total power over him and he would do anything for her. He is so loving towards everyone. Kheland has some negative traits too like everyone else. He can be very controlling, forgetful, and selfish but I know that he usually means well.
