Can anyone explain this score process easily?
I did a test and scored but how do I "reverse-score"?
This supposedly explains it but I cannot figure it out.

Just subtract the score from 8 for questions 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. Then average out the pairs of answers relevant to each trait.
For example, Extraversion is scored from question 1 and question 6, and both questions are initially scored 1 to 7 for agreement.
Question 1 "Extraverted, enthusiastic"
Question 6 "Reserved, quiet"
Question 6 is clearly the reverse aspect of extroversion and so effectively we want to score the answer 7 to 1 instead of 1 to 7. And mathematically we do that by subtracting the original score from 8, eg original score of 3 is a reverse score of 5.
So if the original answers were Q1 = 7, Q6R = 3,
this would give us
Q1 = 7, Q6 = 5,
Then (7 + 5)/2 = 6 for extraversion
