Questions and answers
- Is the test free? Do I need to sign up?
- The test and the result are free, with no account and no email address. The only paid item is the optional full report, at €4.99.
- How long does it take?
- It is 60 statements, six per page, and takes about 10 minutes. Your answers are saved on this device, so you can stop and continue later in the same browser.
- What is the difference between 60 and 120 statements?
- After your result you can answer 60 more statements, also free. With 120 answers each facet is measured by four statements instead of two, so the scores are more precise. Your result is updated, not replaced by a new one.
- How reliable is it?
- The statements come from the IPIP-NEO-120, a public questionnaire used in research, and your scores are compared with a sample of 320,128 people. Like any questionnaire, the result is an estimate of your profile and depends on answering honestly.
- Is it a diagnosis?
- No. It describes normal differences in personality and cannot confirm or rule out a disorder. If you are worried about your mental health, talk to a professional.
- What happens to my answers?
- Your answers are used only to compute the scores and are never stored on our servers. The result is saved in your browser. A profile without purchases is deleted from our servers after 90 days, and you can delete it sooner from the result page.
- 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.
- What is in the full report?
- The exact percentiles of the five traits, the 30 facets, how your traits combine and what they mean for work, relationships, stress and growth, with a permanent link and a PDF. It costs €4.99 once, VAT included.
- Can I get a refund?
- If the report does not open or does not match its description, we fix it or refund you in full. Before paying you ask for immediate delivery, so the 14-day right of withdrawal does not apply. The details are in the terms of sale.
- Can I use the test for hiring?
- No. The test and the report describe personality tendencies and are not meant for decisions about jobs, hiring or health.
- Which languages is it in?
- Italian and English. You can switch language halfway through the test without losing your answers.
