Before you begin
- 120 statements, about 15 minutesNo clock, so take your time. Do it in one go: if you leave partway, it starts again.
- There are no right answersGo with your first instinct. Don't linger.
- Answer as you really areNobody sees this but you. Honest answers give you the most useful profile.
- We time each statementWe note how long each one takes and use the timings to improve the questionnaire. Going quickly is fine here. Your first instinct is what we want.
Two questions first
We ask so we can compare you with people your age and sex who took the same questionnaire. Traits change with age and differ a little on average between men and women. You can skip either one, and we’ll compare you more broadly on that part only.
Your ageYou must be 18 or over to take this.
Your sexThe questionnaire data only records male or female. If neither fits, choose “Rather not say” and we’ll compare you with people of any sex.
Your report will compare you with everyone who took the same questionnaire online.
Compared to everyone
You’ll still be compared, just more broadly
Without your age and sex, we compare you with everyone who took the same questionnaire online. That still works, but it’s rougher. Traits change with age and differ a little on average between men and women, so a broad comparison can nudge a score either way.
The same example answers, compared both ways
Each bar shows the share of people who scored lower. Matched means compared with men aged 25–34.
Neuroticism59% · matched
48% · everyone
Conscientious.80% · matched
82% · everyone
Neuroticism moves 11 points down, conscientiousness moves 2 points up. The people who took this questionnaire online are mostly young, and about 60% are women, so which way a score moves depends on the trait. Your report always says which group it compared you with.
