Introduction:
The Big-Five model describes personality across five broad traits: Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism and Openness. This assessment presents 60 everyday statements. You decide how strongly each statement describes you, letting the tool convert subjective choices into objective trait scores. Scores outline your behavioural tendencies and can guide reflection, coaching or team discussions.
A reactive interface displays one statement at a time, a progress bar and a scrollable list for quick navigation. Selecting an answer immediately records the value, updates the percentage complete and colour-codes finished items. When all items are answered, a radar chart maps your five scores and an interpretation panel explains what each band means.
Use this quick inventory before coaching sessions, team-building workshops, research projects or personal development planning to spark discussion about strengths and blind spots, motivate goal setting and monitor change over time; avoid using results for hiring, clinical treatment or high-stakes certification without professional guidance. Results do not constitute a clinical diagnosis.
Technical Details:
Each trait score is the sum of 12 relevant item ratings, with negatively keyed items reverse-scored (value = 6 − rating) so higher totals always indicate more of the trait. The charting layer then normalises values on a 0–60 axis and renders them as a closed polygon for at-a-glance comparison.
Items originate from the public-domain IPIP-NEO pool, a well-validated proxy for the commercial NEO-PI-R. Using 12 statements per trait balances brevity with reliability, producing internal consistency coefficients near 0.85 in peer-reviewed studies.
- 5-point Likert scale (1 = Strongly Disagree, 5 = Strongly Agree).
- Reverse scoring applies to 22 negatively keyed items.
- Domain totals range 0–60; higher indicates stronger trait.
- Radar vertices arranged clockwise Extraversion → Openness.
- All computations run locally in your browser.
| Score band | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| 0 – 20 | Low expression of the trait |
| 21 – 40 | Average expression |
| 41 – 60 | High expression |
Because everything executes client-side, responses never leave the device, ensuring maximum privacy and instant feedback.

Are the results scientific?
The inventory is research-based and widely used, but scores are indicative and not a substitute for professional assessment.
