Sample and reliability

Results–

Valid–

Used in analysis–

The 120-item test, current translation and item bank, since 23 October 2026. “Valid” means responses passed the automatic quality filters.

Reliability and correlations appear once the analysis sample contains at least 30 valid, complete responses in this language.

Correlations between traits

Pearson’s r describes how traits vary together in the sample: from −1 (opposite directions) to +1 (same direction). A value near 0 means little linear association.

Correlations are not available yet.

Correlation does not imply causation. A dash means the value cannot be calculated, for example when everyone has the same score.

The 120 statements

Response options, from left to right: Muito inexato · Moderadamente inexato · Nem exato nem inexato · Moderadamente exato · Muito exato

Means use scores from 1 to 5, with reverse-keyed items reversed. r is the correlation with the sum of the other three items in the same facet. Low or negative values invite investigation; they do not prove a translation error.

Statements and statistics
	Português	English original	Facet	Scoring	? Mean scored response, from 1 to 5. Reverse-keyed items are reversed before calculation.	? Corrected item–facet correlation: Pearson’s r between this item and the sum of the other three items in its facet. Low or negative r may warrant review. Below the value is a 95% confidence interval; if it overlaps 0.2 or the value before a change, the difference is uncertain. A dash means the correlation is unavailable or undefined.	Feedback

△ Yellow: 0 ≤ r < 0.2! Red: r < 0

Below r is a 95% confidence interval. The fewer responses, the wider it is: at 50 responses it is about ±0.27.

△ in the first column marks statements with r below 0.2 or a difference from English of at least 0.4 (Difference or Beyond facet). The filter “Show highlighted statements only” lists them.

The message and your email, if given, are stored until the matter is handled. Your answers are not sent with it.

How the statistics are calculated

Each day, up to 20,000 of the latest valid 120-item results across all languages are used. The sample is grouped by the actual question language. Only complete responses to the current translation and item bank are included. Totals above count all results on this version since collection began, including those outside the analysis sample.

Quality filters exclude development and test responses, very fast responses and responses with very little variation. Repeat attempts may be included. Visitors choose to take the test; this is not a representative population sample or language-specific norms.

Only aggregate statistics are published here. Individual responses and background details are not shown. Small samples give uncertain estimates; the thresholds of 30 and 50 are display thresholds, not validation of a translation.
