I have an idea of my Big 5 score. But just sometimes I get feedback which conflicts with my self-assessment. Therefore I'd like to hear about my outward (LW-wise) appearance on these.

I scored myself on these already and will post my self-assessment if at least 5 people score me. I'm a regular and you can find some of my posts linked on my User Page.

I don't have a good idea what "a bit" and "moderately" mean in this context. Is someone who is a bit extroverted more introverted than the average person and the average person is moderately extroverted?

In general it doesn't make sense to role out your own test for the Big Five. There are existing tests developed by capable psychologists.
