Questions
Before you start
Is the test free?
Yes. The test and the result with your five traits and your archetype are free, and you need no account. The more detailed report is optional and paid.
How reliable is it?
The statements come from the IPIP-NEO, a questionnaire used in research. Like any online test, the result is an estimate of your profile, not a diagnosis. After your result you can answer 60 more statements for more precise scores.
What happens to my answers?
Your answers are used to compute your scores and are never kept on our servers. Your result is saved in this browser: you can delete it from the result page, and free results are removed from our servers after 90 days anyway.
What is an archetype?
It sums up your scores on four traits as one of 16 profiles, each with a name and a mascot. It helps you remember and share your result: it is not a scientific category.
