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

The five personality traits
Trait	Mean ? Mean sum of 24 scored responses. The scale ranges from 24 to 120.	Standard deviation ? Standard deviation describes how scores vary around the mean. Calculated with n − 1 in the denominator.	Cronbach α ? Cronbach’s alpha describes internal consistency: k/(k − 1) × (1 − sum of item variances / total-score variance). k is 24 for traits and 4 for facets. Alpha depends on item count and sample; it does not establish translation quality on its own.
Openness To Experience	82.71	11.7	0.79
Conscientiousness	87.11	15.6	0.91
Extraversion	78.6	14.05	0.87
Agreeableness	88.36	12.66	0.85
Neuroticism	70.86	17.74	0.92

Trait scores range from 24 to 120. Alpha describes internal consistency in this sample; it does not establish translation quality on its own.

Reliability for all 30 facets

Cronbach’s alpha by facet
Trait	Facet	α ? Cronbach’s alpha describes internal consistency: k/(k − 1) × (1 − sum of item variances / total-score variance). k is 24 for traits and 4 for facets. Alpha depends on item count and sample; it does not establish translation quality on its own.
Openness To Experience	Imagination	0.73
Openness To Experience	Artistic Interests	0.72
Openness To Experience	Emotionality	0.57
Openness To Experience	Adventurousness	0.62
Openness To Experience	Intellect	0.68
Openness To Experience	Liberalism	0.59
Conscientiousness	Self-Efficacy	0.77
Conscientiousness	Orderliness	0.82
Conscientiousness	Dutifulness	0.67
Conscientiousness	Achievement-Striving	0.74
Conscientiousness	Self-Discipline	0.74
Conscientiousness	Cautiousness	0.87
Extraversion	Friendliness	0.79
Extraversion	Gregariousness	0.78
Extraversion	Assertiveness	0.82
Extraversion	Activity Level	0.63
Extraversion	Excitement-Seeking	0.65
Extraversion	Cheerfulness	0.73
Agreeableness	Trust	0.82
Agreeableness	Morality	0.74
Agreeableness	Altruism	0.67
Agreeableness	Cooperation	0.7
Agreeableness	Modesty	0.72
Agreeableness	Sympathy	0.67

Neuroticism	Anger	0.87
Neuroticism	Depression	0.82
Neuroticism	Self-Consciousness	0.69
Neuroticism	Immoderation	0.68
Neuroticism	Vulnerability	0.77

Each facet has four statements. Alpha also depends on the number of items and the breadth of what they measure.

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.

Correlation matrix · Pearson’s r
Trait	Openness To Experience	Conscientiousness	Extraversion	Agreeableness	Neuroticism
Openness To Experience	1	0.04	0.18	0.28	-0.05
Conscientiousness	0.04	1	0.31	0.37	-0.6
Extraversion	0.18	0.31	1	0.13	-0.52
Agreeableness	0.28	0.37	0.13	1	-0.25
Neuroticism	-0.05	-0.6	-0.52	-0.25	1

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: Very Inaccurate · Moderately Inaccurate · Neither Accurate Nor Inaccurate · Moderately Accurate · Very Accurate

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
	English	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.

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.
