Bodyguards scored low on neuroticism, the body guard is extremely field independent, even more so than the bomb-disposal experts. Moreover, body guards score low on impulsiveness. Comparable to anti-terror and bomb-disposal experts, bodyguards also score high on novelty seeking and prosocial behavior.
When your looking for a good bodyguard he or she should be a prosocial (prosocial behavior is defined as actions that benefit other people or society as a whole) sensation seeker with low neuroticism, no impulsivity and a cognitive style of field independence.
