My tendencies or preferences are not necessarily the same as learned behaviour (in my own case, patterns of behaviour acquired out of professional necessity). I've never come across a personality-assessment test that distinguishes between the two, which makes me think that the Big 5 are just as much junk science as the others. Functional adults learn to conduct themselves in the ways that let them fit into their particular society/niche within that society, regardless of their tendencies or preferences. That is one of the markers of actual adulthood in most places.
