Free personality profile

Describe yourself with 48 or 96 short statements and see where you sit on six broad traits, each with an honest likely range. No types, no letter codes, no account. Your answers never leave your browser.

Before you start

  • Your answers stay in this browser tab. We cannot see them. Nothing is sent anywhere: no account, no tracking of answers, no server.
  • This is for describing yourself. Answering for someone else does not tell you about them, and the result says nothing about anyone but you.
  • Do not use this for hiring, promotion, or choosing people for anything. It was not built or tested for that, and using personality tests in hiring has legal rules in many places.
  • This is not a diagnosis. It does not test for anxiety, depression, ADHD, or any personality disorder.
  • You can skip any question. Made for adults (18 and over).

How to answer. Describe yourself as you usually are now, not as you wish to be. Think of people you know who are your age and the same gender as you, if that helps. There are no right or wrong answers.

The 96 statements are IPIP-HEXACO items from the International Personality Item Pool, which are in the public domain (ipip.ori.org/newHEXACO_PI_key.htm). We picked them, did not change their wording, and wrote the two check questions, the help lines and the results text ourselves. This tool is not the HEXACO-PI-R and is not endorsed by its authors or by IPIP. How it works, the sources and its limits: the methods page. More free tools: Known Quantity for Good.

These tools are free and stay free. If one helped and you can spare it, the tip jar helps keep them that way. Never required.
