I had a small giggle at my rankings, not going to lie.

Without a definition for what each of these things are, it's a little unclear what this is actually saying. I'm assuming there's some documentation on this somewhere?

IBM's/Watson's documentation is really vague on what these things are, but there's some explaination to that in Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits

One thing that we're wondering is whether a score 1% means that it believes that the person has little of this treat, or that it has little proof to believe that the person has this treat. If I'm not mistaken it's the former.

Yes, former. It may be useful to translate these into other systems[0] so that you see what each end of the spectrum means.

That would be fun - to see if a person is INTF or ENTJ next to his/her nickname on the page :)
