These are sample statements from the scale that most consistently predicts poor job performance: neuroticism. Emotional stability has increasingly positive effects on performance as a job gets harder and more complex. In fact, one study found that low neuroticism can be twice as important for performance in situations requiring emotional stability. Rather than viewing a particular crisis as our life's defining catastrophe, we can see it as a chance to cope. Over time, we can accumulate stories of resilience and a personality that can calmly handle anything thrown our way.
