  • Afterwards you see your profile on five scales and can download it as a PDF certificate. Your answers never leave your browser.

The Big Five in short

The five-factor model, usually called the Big Five, describes personality with five broad traits. Each trait is a scale, and most people land somewhere between the two ends. Neither end is better than the other, and different jobs suit different profiles.

  • Extraversion: How much energy you get from other people and from taking up space.
  • Agreeableness: How cooperative and considerate you are toward others.
  • Conscientiousness: How organized, thorough and goal-oriented you are.
  • Emotional stability: How you handle pressure, setbacks and worry.
  • Openness: How curious you are about new ideas, thoughts and experiences.

Personality traits in hiring

Many employers ask you to take a personality test alongside a logic test, and there are no right answers on it. Our guide to personality tests in hiring explains how they are used and how to prepare. If the logic part is next, try the free logic test.

About the statements

The statements come from the IPIP, the International Personality Item Pool, a free item pool that researchers use. We use the IPIP's 50 statements for the five-factor model in their original English wording. The test is meant to help you learn the format and put words to your traits. It is not a validated measurement and does not compare you with a norm group.

Frequently asked questions

Is the personality test free?

Yes. The test, the profile and the certificate are free, and you don't need an account. Your answers are only stored in your own browser.

What is the Big Five?

The Big Five, or five-factor model, describes personality with five broad traits: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability and openness.

Is this the same test employers use?

No. The statements come from the IPIP, a free item pool for research. Employers use their own tests, such as Assessio's MAP or the Alva Labs personality test. This test helps you get used to what the statements look like.

Is my result compared with other people?

No. The bars show where you land between the lowest and highest possible score on each scale. We have no norm group, so the result says nothing about how you compare with others.

Can you answer a personality test wrong?

There are no right answers. What often goes wrong is answering the way you think the employer wants, instead of the way you usually are.
