It has 30 questions. That's 6 questions per trait, or 2 questions per sub-trait. And each question is basically "Are you high or low in this sub-trait?" - with two versions of each question for confirmation.

yeah, this is how I felt. A few years ago This American Life had an episode titled, Play the Part that mentioned this aspie quiz. I do the test every couple of years and typically land higher than others that I know, even though I'm not diagnosed with Asperger's (which is a whole other can of worms.)
Are you the type who feeds off of parties and other social functions, but also needs alone time to balance the 'diet'?
Regarding the overall accuracy, It would be interesting to see how people's test results compare to random numbers... using =RANDBETWEEN(50,100) in Sheets, this was my score
Openness to experience - 89
Agreeableness - 88
Conscientiousness - 60
Negative emotionality - 64
Extraversion - 87
I feel as though these random numbers offer the same level of accuracy as the test (3/5, if not 7/10.) I did skew it by using 50 as my floor, though... maybe that speaks to my personality more than anything.
It might be a good idea to clean up your formatting of the list. I perceived 'Agreeableness' to be a sub-category of 'Openness'. * Openness: 71 * Agreeableness: 59 * Conscientiousness: 82 *...

Averages are averages: rather useless statistic that often points to no real datapoint in the dataset (I shouldn't be that assertive w.r.t. a field I barely know about, but that's my understanding), so don't really mind them.
That said, if you want to be more extroverted---IRL, not in the survey---, I think it's totally possible to teach oneself how to. I scored a 46 for extraversion, but if it was 6 or 7 years ago, I'd score a solid nil for it, a 90 or something for negative emotionality and a nil for agreeableness. I've done a lot of introspection and reflection, and in a few years I overcame lots of issues with absence of self esteem, confidence, and peace of mind, leading to an objectively happier and more peaceful life on quite solid grounds which I'm enjoying since a bunch of years.
I have no problem "being" extroverted. I can go out and do things with friends with no problems. I just have no drive to go out and seek them. I've been through consuming loneliness before, but...
I have no problem "being" extroverted. I can go out and do things with friends with no problems. I just have no drive to go out and seek them. I've been through consuming loneliness before, but it's pretty easy to fulfil my needs.
I think it has more to do with the limited accuracy that other people here have posted about. These traits seem too complex to adequately measure with so few data points.
Likewise as to extroversion - I've worked quite hard on it, with some professional help. Frankly, I'm still a strong introvert by preference. I don't think any of these traits are permanent, and...

It also lacks nuance. I've done many of these tests and this question is always present:
Do you prefer to spend your time at the library or in a party?
I cannot give an accurate answer to that. Because it depends. Libraries can be empty and quiet or full and very stressing. Parties can be really crazy or rather dull or even amiable. And depending on which type of library and which type of party we're referring to, I'll choose one or the other. But making a blanket statement saying I prefer either one over the other is a hell of a blanket statement.
Same with preferring to do things alone or with friends. It always depends. Some things are better done alone, others are more enjoyable with friends.
And there are many more other questions/statements like these. And it also varies depending on my mood or whatever I'm going through at the time of taking the test.
Also, many questions require experience. There are questions about sexual preferences, romantic relationships, intimacy, travelling, job interactions... Hard to answer this without having travelled to a couple of places, held a few jobs or a few romantic relationships.
Guess I'll hop on this bus. I'm really surprised by the "negative emotionality" score compared to the average and to everyone here... Maybe I'm a cylon? Openness to experience 63 out of 100...

For the most part I would agree with the results, but I think it pinned me as being more negative than I am, and also a little less agreeable.
Openness to experience 83
Agreeableness 46
Conscientiousness 67
Negative emotionality 75
Extraversion 79
So while I don't put a lot of stock in these things, I love them, and find them to be fun, much like the ones in trashy grocery store magazines.

I never trust personally tests like these. I can't discredit the Big Five method as it seems to be backed up by the scientific community. But when it comes to online quizzes consisting of few dozens of questions, I view their results as generalized approximations that can easily be wrong.
As for the subtraits section, it pretty much got everything wrong about me except for maybe one section.
It really gives off 'horoscope-y' vibes.
For what it's worth, here are my results:

Agreeableness 54 out of 100
Conscientiousness 33 out of 100
Negative emotionality 38 out of 100
Extraversion 50 out of 100
It depends on what you call the scientific community, when saying science most people assume hard sciences. The scientific community that backs up this test is the soft science part (psychologists).

Sounds about right. 😿
The graphs showing the averages on this kind of terrify me. It makes me feel like I might be a psychopath or something.

I feel I am sometimes the only extrovert in reddit and tildes.
To be honest, I'm not sure how to feel about these tests because people are bound to overrate and/or underrate themselves.
