The Big Five describes tendencies, without good or bad personalities. It does not provide a diagnosis or measure intelligence.

How would you like to explore your personality?

Choose your path

Two separate questionnaires: the in-depth version is not a continuation of the shorter one.

Describe how you generally are, not only today or how you wish to be. Five statements per group, with no time limit.

About the wording

English statements and scoring keys follow the published IPIP forms. French uses documented translations with disclosed adaptations; no independent validation of those French forms is claimed.

RESEARCH WITH CONTEXT

What the science says

Big Five · IPIP-50 / IPIP-NEO-120

An approach to personality based on continuous dimensions, rather than fixed types.

The research

The IPIP lexical markers describe five broad factors. Johnson (2014) separately developed the IPIP-NEO-120 from 300 items, with four statements for each of thirty facets.

What the test explores

The 50-item form has five dimensions with ten statements each. The 120-item form has five domains with twenty-four statements each and thirty four-item facets. Emotional stability in the short form runs opposite to emotional reactivity in the long form.

The version offered

Two separate, free experiences using published English statements. French uses the Gibson/Boucher translation with spelling regularization for 50 items, and Johnson’s selected items from the Thiry/Piolti European French adaptation for 120. No independent validation of these French forms or this interface is claimed.

What to keep in mind. No diagnosis, overall score, or percentile without an appropriate reference population. Sadness and worry facets do not screen for a condition. The two forms’ results are not interchangeable; descriptions refer to the response-scale midpoint rather than population norms.

The questionnaire, its translation, and AI are separate questions.

The research cited concerns the instrument and the populations studied. It does not automatically validate every translation, this digital interface, or a future AI-enhanced analysis.

Sources and terms of use

IPIP items are in the public domain, including for commercial use. The 50-item form uses Goldberg’s lexical markers and published IPIP instructions and key. French uses the archived Gibson/Boucher translation with documented regularization. The 120-item form uses Johnson’s (2014) selection, four items per facet, with the Thiry/Piolti French adaptation based on Gravel. Reading aids and interpretations are editorial. Independent psychometric validation of this interface or the proposed French forms is not claimed. Exact correspondence with the patient portal has not been confirmed.
