A map, not a verdict.
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.

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.
