These ten statements ask how accurately order, tidiness, regularity, and planning describe you in general. Answer for your usual life rather than one unusually busy, calm, organized, or disrupted week.
Inside the assessment
This assessment uses the 10-item preliminary IPIP representation of Orderliness, a facet within the conscientiousness domain. The official key contains five positively keyed and five negatively keyed statements and reports coefficient alpha .82. That estimate describes consistency in the source development data, not the precision of one person’s result.
Very Inaccurate through Very Accurate receive 1–5 points. The final five negatively keyed items are reverse scored from 5 to 1, and all ten keyed values are summed for a total from 10 to 50.
