Big Five Personality Traits

So, I was taking this test called the Big Five personality traits, and it's got me thinking. I wonder which of the traits are most commonly found among NT types. If you would please post your results, if you want that is.
 
I started taking it but there were too many questions and I knew it was going to take forever, so I forfeited.
 
You can find more explanation of OCEAN in relation to autism here. Autism is correlated with low extroversion and high neuroticism. I’m surprised it’s negatively correlated with conscientiousness.

Threads like this make me question my ASD. My extroversion score was actually higher than the average for neurotypicals! It mentioned some test for masking autism traits so I took that. My score was WAY below the score that would indicate that I was masking autism. Nevertheless, to anyone who knows me, I think it is quickly obvious that I am not exactly neurotypical.

As somebody mentioned on this forum; "If you know one autistic person you only know one autistic person." For the longest time people did not recognize my autism, and I lied to myself about my worth. Extroverted and ASD?? That does not surprise me. Only at 25 did I start mending my social and emotional deficits when I started valuing myself. And I think I married a nice autistic woman. Her social anxiety was noticeable. Yet she was aware and skilled socially, at least skilled when it came to guiding me into our relationship.

In my opinion all of these tests will be flawed and as such I never bother with any of them, not even out of curiosity. Many people throughout my life have tried to tell me who and what I am or should be and all of them have been so wrong that it's laughable.

I was extremely social as a younger man and I had a lot of fun but I didn't realise that it would burn me out. Just another side of my nature though, even if I knew beforehand that I would eventually burn out it wouldn't have altered any of my choices, people always fascinated me and I liked learning about them.
