The Big Personality Test

BBC One - Child of Our Time, The Big Personality Test, Episode 1

The Child of Our Time children and their families explore their personalities.

Documentary special in which the Child of Our Time children explore their personalities, while Robert Winston and Sophie Raworth reveal the results of the BBC Big Personality Test.

How does your personality shape your life? Can it dictate whether you are in the right job, make or break your relationship, influence your health and even how long you'll live? In this two part special to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Child of our Time, the children and their families explore their personalities, while presenters Robert Winston and Sophie Raworth reveal the results of the BBC's online Big Personality Test, the biggest ever investigation into the personality of the nation. 

In this first programme, we catch up on some of the Child of our Time Children, and find out their combination of personality traits. Has James Cachia's chaotic life contributed to him being a fun loving extrovert, and why does Charlotte Langeveld score so high on agreeableness? What does it mean to be high in openness and neuroticism, and can you be too conscientious?
