About this quiz: this is a demo built to show off a little quiz engine I wrote (wwQuiz.js) - not a validated personality assessment. The individual statements are genuine items from the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP), a public-domain personality item bank that Lewis Goldberg and collaborators released specifically so people could build free, open alternatives to copyrighted commercial personality tests. Those items are normally rated individually on a 1-5 agreement scale; here they've been converted into forced-choice pairs (pick whichever of two statements feels more like you) to fit this quiz engine's format, which is a real methodological change from how they were actually validated - so treat your results as a fun approximation, not a scientific measurement.

Interpreting Your Scores

Each trait is scored out of the number of times it appeared as a choice (12, for each trait in this quiz). There's no "good" or "bad" score on any of these five traits - each end of each scale comes with its own tradeoffs, and most people land somewhere in the middle on at least a couple of them.
