The advantage to being with someone conscientious is, well, they're going to work like mad. But the disadvantage is they're going to work like mad.
So, you know, if you're looking for a partner that you want to relax with or have fun with, or who isn't uptight, then a conscientious person is probably not a very good choice.
On the other hand, if you're a conscientious person and you're living with someone who's really unconscientious, that's good because they might be able to help you relax. But you're not going to be happy with them because they don't work nearly as hard as you do. But even worse, on the orderly dimension, you know, some of you had roommates, and maybe you're more orderly than your roommate.
What does it mean? You're annoyed by mess before they are.
And you don't have to be annoyed by mess much before your less orderly roommate for you to be the one that's always running around picking things up.
And so, one of the things that's emerged from the psychometric analysis is that women are slightly more orderly than men, and I suspect that has something to do with the inequitable distribution of housework.
