The Five Factors
The most scientifically validated model: Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Emotional Stability. Free, no sign-up, your radar right away.
The Big Five (or Five-Factor Model) is the personality model most accepted by psychology. Instead of fixed types, it measures five traits on a continuous scale and predicts life outcomes better than popular typologies. Here there are 50 statements on a 1-to-5 scale; the result is a self-knowledge estimate, not a diagnosis.

How to read your radar
Each axis is a trait, measured from 0 to 100. There is no “good” or “bad”: each end has strengths and costs. What matters is the shape — where you stand out, where you're balanced. Below, the read of each one.
How to use this
Your profile isn't a label — it's a starting point. Three practical ways to apply it:
People with a similar profile ILLUSTRATIVE
You across life areas
How this profile tends to show up in your day-to-day — what to lean into and what to balance. A developmental estimate, never a verdict.

How it's calculated — and the science
The Five-Factor Model (Big Five, or FFM) is the result of decades of research in personality psychology, consolidated by authors like Goldberg, Costa & McCrae and, more recently, Soto & John. It describes personality across five broad continuous dimensions, rather than “types”.
Each of the 50 statements adds points (from 1 to 5) to one of the five factors — 10 statements per factor, including reversed items to control for the bias of always answering “yes”. We convert each factor's total into a percentage. The dimension we call Emotional Stability is the positive pole of Neuroticism (a high score = more calm and resilience). The items follow the spirit of IPIP (International Personality Item Pool), a public-domain bank.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Big Five?
The most scientifically validated personality model. It describes five broad traits — Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Emotional Stability — on a continuous scale, not in fixed types.
Is it really free?
Yes — 100% free, no sign-up, no email, no paywall. The result appears instantly and is saved only in your browser.
How long does it take?
About 8 to 12 minutes. There are 50 statements on a 1-to-5 scale.
Why do you use “Emotional Stability” and not “Neuroticism”?
They are the same dimension, at opposite poles. We chose to name the positive pole (calm, resilience) for a clearer, less labeling read. A high Stability score = low Neuroticism.
Is the result useful for job screening?
No. It is an estimate for self-knowledge and development, not a clinical or screening instrument. For that, consult a licensed psychologist.
