What it measures
The Big Five is the model personality psychologists actually use. Five broad traits, each split into six narrower facets: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and emotional sensitivity (the one psychologists call neuroticism).
Unlike type tests, it does not sort you into a box. You get a position on each scale, compared with how hundreds of thousands of other people answered the same questions.
Three of the questions
- I worry about things.
- I see beauty in things that others might not notice.
- I leave my belongings around.
What you get
- Your five traits as percentiles, with a plain reading of what each one means for you
- All 30 facets, so you can see where you split from your own averages
- The questions behind every facet, and how you answered them
- What stands out: the facets that break from their trait
Where it comes from
The questions are the IPIP-NEO-120 by John A. Johnson (2014), built from the International Personality Item Pool, which places them in the public domain. Percentiles use the published averages from 320,128 US adults who took the same questions (Kajonius and Johnson, 2019).
Who owns the original
Nobody owns the Big Five; it is a scientific model. The best-known commercial version is the NEO PI-R, sold by its publisher. Ours uses the public-domain equivalent.
