Thank you for your interest in this online personality test,
which
is based on an International Personality Item Pool representation of
the
Five Factor Model of personality. The Five Factor Model (also known
as
the "Big 5") is based on the idea that five main dimensions are
necessary
and sufficient for broadly describing human personality.
The next page contains the 41 items of the test and some
additional
questions. Once you have filled these in and submitted the test for
scoring,
you will be told your scores on these five basic dimensions and
given some
information about what they mean.
This version of the inventory was developed for use in online
psychological
research projects and
at times may still be used to collect data. Additional questions may
also
be added from time to time. However, it is possible to take the test
without
participating in our research.
-
All of the information you provide will be treated as
confidential.
-
No information about your identity will be requested at any
stage.
-
Please answer the questions as honestly and accurately as
possible.
-
Please make sure you respond to all the items and do not leave any
blanks (your test scores cannot be computed if you miss any out).
-
It is assumed that you are taking the test purely for interest: you
should
never use the information given here for any serious "real life"
purposes.
-
If you wish to take the test, but do not wish your data to be used
for
research purposes, you will have the opportunity to say so before
submitting
the test for scoring.
