Big Five

The five traits psychology actually measures.

Fifty statements from the public-domain IPIP-50, Goldberg's Big-Five markers, rated on a five-point accuracy scale. Each trait comes back as a scale score from 10 to 50 with the part of the scale your answers sit in; percentiles appear once a norm for your language exists.

How we score

What you answer

One statement or question per screen. Answers save as you go and you can come back later; nothing is scored until you finish.

How the score is worked out

The fifty items are the public-domain IPIP-50. Each of the five traits sums ten items, reversed where the instrument says so, into a scale score from 10 to 50. Nothing is hidden or weighted.

What we show, and what we don't

Only what the evidence supports. Percentiles and "higher than X% of people" appear once a norm for your language exists and has been reviewed; until then you see scale scores and where your answers sit on the scale.
