Big Five Personality Test


The Big Five can now be measured moderate accuracy, using a self-rating scale, in about one minute. The psychologists Beatrice Rammstein and Oliver John published a Big Five scale in 2007 called the BFI-10 that uses just ten questions. They found that people's scores on this very short scale were very reliable across a two-month preiod (with test-retest correlations about .82) with thier scores on much longer personality scales.
