Extraversion
Social energy and outward expressiveness, ranging from more reserved to more extraverted self-description.
The Ten-Item Personality Inventory offers a very brief view of five broad personality dimensions. Rate each pair as a whole, even if one word fits you more strongly than the other.
Inside the assessment
The TIPI is a 10-item measure of five broad personality dimensions: Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Emotional Stability, and Openness to Experiences.
Items 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 are reverse scored. Each dimension is the average of one direct item and one reverse-scored item, producing five separate scores from 1 to 7.
“I grant permission for anyone to use the TIPI for any purpose.” — Samuel D. Gosling
Social energy and outward expressiveness, ranging from more reserved to more extraverted self-description.
A broad continuum of warmth and cooperation versus a more critical or confrontational self-description.
Dependability and self-discipline, ranging from more flexible or disorganized to more structured self-description.
A broad tendency toward calm and emotional steadiness versus feeling more anxious or easily upset.
Curiosity and attraction to novelty or complexity versus a more conventional and familiar orientation.
Important limits
This very brief self-report provides a snapshot of five broad personality dimensions. It is less precise than longer multi-item measures and does not provide facet scores, a personality type, or a diagnosis. Use it as a starting point for reflection rather than for clinical or other high-stakes decisions.
