Just wanted to highlight this project because I’ve had to take many personality tests for school and work and things, and this is the most accurate one I’ve seen, and the only one where I feel I’m actually learning about myself from the results.

So if you need a personality test for any reason this one’s pretty good.

    It’s pretty good for self improvement. I scored kinda high on neuroticism but after learning some psychology stuff like mindfulness/meditation/neuroplasticity/stoicism/ACT i managed to reduce it significantly after about 2.5 years. there was even a study recently that showed how using a app to change your personality and it’s not easy and require serious training like learning a language or a musical instrument. I hope we will get eventually some open source version of that app.

    and of course you need to be open to it, humans have a documented bias toward not believing what might hurt there self esteem.

    I only have some concerns about their incomplete privacy policy. What’s in it for them? Will my data be sold?

      The big five is pretty much the only version of this that’s actually sort of kind of almost a real thing. Nobody likes being told they have high neuroticism though, so it’s not ever a fun fad meme thing.
