Big Five personality
Fifty short statements about how you usually are. You get a profile of the five broad traits psychologists use most, with what each one means for you, your strengths and what to watch out for.
Your answers stay in this browser tab unless you choose to share them anonymously.
About this questionnaire
The Big Five model describes personality with five broad traits: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and emotional stability. It is the most widely used and best-researched model of personality.
Describe yourself as you generally are now, not as you wish to be, compared with people you know of a similar age.
Scoring: each trait is the average of ten answers on a 1–5 scale, with some statements reversed.
Before you start
For reflection, not diagnosis. This is a self-report questionnaire. It cannot diagnose any condition, and it is not a basis for hiring, admission or any other decision about a person.
Private by default. Everything runs in your browser. Your answers are not saved or sent anywhere unless you choose, before starting, to share them anonymously for site statistics.
Provided as is. A personal project, free and with no warranty. Not connected to any institution I work with.
