The Big-Five model describes personality across Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. Each dimension aggregates six lower-level facets that capture specific behaviours, preferences, and emotional patterns. Researchers value the model because trait scores predict job performance, subjective wellbeing, and relationship quality across cultures. Validated self-report inventories let you estimate these traits quickly without clinical supervision, offering actionable personal insights for development planning.

This browser-based questionnaire contains 120 public-domain statements drawn from the International Personality Item Pool. You rate each statement on a five-point accuracy scale from “Very Inaccurate” to “Very Accurate”. The instrument automatically reverses key items, sums twenty-four ratings per dimension, and presents raw scores alongside an interactive radar chart, all without sending data off your device.

Take the inventory when you want an objective snapshot of your personality baseline, such as before career coaching or personal goal setting. Scores can guide reflection, highlight personal strengths, and suggest areas for change over time. Interpret results in context and avoid over-emphasising small score differences. Results do not constitute a clinical diagnosis or professional psychological advice.

Technical Details:

The assessment tallies your responses to twenty-four items per dimension, reversing specified statements so that higher values always reflect more of the trait. Each adjusted item keeps its original 1–5 scale, giving every domain a comparable raw score between 24 and 120.

The scoring engine performs three sequential operations before visualising your profile with a lightweight charting layer.

  • Parse your selections from the reactive interface.
  • Apply reverse-key transformation to flagged items.
  • Accumulate trait totals and facet subtotals.
  • Normalise data for the radar plot.

All computations run client-side for instant feedback and complete data privacy.

Calculations & Scoring:

The tool calculates one raw score for each Big-Five dimension using the following procedure.

Openness (SO)

Sum of 24 adjusted Openness ratings.

1…5
1…5

Store unmodified values for every Openness item.

v
6-v

Subtract each flagged rating from six so that higher values remain positive indicators.

∑i=124ai
92

Add the 24 values to produce a raw domain score.

S_O=92
S_O∈24120

Store the result for later comparison and visualization.

Your Openness raw score is 92 / 120.

Troubleshooting:

Resolve common issues quickly with the tips below.

  • Blank page after loading — disable aggressive browser extensions that block scripts.
  • Progress bar stuck — ensure all 120 items have a selected rating.
  • No radar chart — resize the window or ensure graphics acceleration is enabled.
  • Scores look wrong — verify you did not mis-click reverse-key items.
  • Cannot share results — copy the full URL including the “r=” parameter.

Advanced Tips:

Use these ideas to deepen your analysis.

  • Download the answer table as CSV using your browser’s “Copy” command.
  • Compare two dates by opening results in side-by-side tabs.
  • Share the encoded URL to collect peer feedback on your profile.
  • Track change by repeating the inventory every six months.
  • Map raw scores to percentiles using published normative datasets.
