Big Five Personality
Five broad dials that shape how you think, feel and act.
The Big Five (also called OCEAN) is one of the most widely studied academic models of personality. Rate 50 short statements and see where you land on five dimensions: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and emotional stability.
Rate each statement from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Go with your first instinct; there are no right answers. Keyboard: press 1 to 5.
What this test looks at
The Big Five is one of the most widely studied academic models of personality. This test uses wording adapted from IPIP, a public-domain item pool of Big Five markers. It measures self-reported tendencies, so it reflects how you see yourself today, not a fixed label. Scores are rough, and no position on any dial is simply good or bad: each has strengths and costs depending on the situation.
- Openness
How drawn you are to new ideas, imagination and unfamiliar experiences. - Conscientiousness
How much you plan, follow through and keep things in order. - Extraversion
How much you seek out company, activity and stimulation. - Agreeableness
How much you prioritize warmth, cooperation and other people's feelings. - Emotional stability
How steady you stay under pressure, versus how strongly stress and mood shifts register.
Sources and method
Scores are computed in your browser from your 1 to 5 ratings: each statement is scored, reverse-worded statements are flipped, and the average per dimension is scaled to 0 to 100. The Big Five test adapts items from the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP, public domain). All other tests use original questions inspired by well-known research traditions; they are not affiliated with any commercial assessment.
