The Revised NEO Personality Inventory questionnaire, created by Paul T. Costa, Jr. and Robert R. McCrae, is one of the most famous questionnaires of the Five Factor Model (FFM) and is widely used by specialists to assess interpersonal relationships, emotional behavior, and motivational factors.
The test presented on this page is an online version of the IPIP NEO Inventory questionnaire by Dr. John A. Johnson (2014). The questionnaire consists of 120 questions, and its assessed factors correlate significantly with the scales of the original commercial questionnaires.
This free test is designed as an equivalent of the NEO-PI-R and is a valid instrument for assessing Big Five personality traits: openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism (or emotional stability). In addition, each domain includes six more-specific facets.
Today, there are many models of personality assessment, but many psychologists consider the five-factor model one of the most useful frameworks for describing broad individual differences in personality.
Its popularity has also led to criticism. A common critique is that the broad traits can be interpreted in different ways, which can lead to variability in how the same scores are described. Critics also argue that focusing on five large dimensions can miss important nuances in how a person thinks, feels, and behaves.
Even so, the model has played an important role in personality psychology, inspiring a large body of research and ongoing debate.
Read each statement and decide how accurately it describes you. Describe yourself as you are now—not as you hope to be in the future. Answer honestly for the most accurate results.
