§ Herramientas · Cinco Grandes, 20 ítems
Cinco dimensiones. Sin tipo de cuatro letras.
La mayoría de los tests te dan una etiqueta porque una etiqueta se comparte. Este te da cinco números, la redacción exacta de cada pregunta y qué tan fiable es cada escala. Unos tres minutos.
Puntúa con qué precisión te describe cada frase — como sueles ser, no como te gustaría ser.

Tus cinco números
0 de 20 respondidas
A dimension only gets a score once all four of its items are answered — a partial average would look like a score without being one.
- Extraversion—reliability α 0.77
- Agreeableness—reliability α 0.70
- Conscientiousness—reliability α 0.69
- Emotional volatility—reliability α 0.68
- Openness to ideas—reliability α 0.65
α is internal consistency, reported by the scale’s authors. A dimension at 0.65 and one at 0.77 should not be read with equal confidence — the lower one is noisier, which is why we show it instead of hiding it.
These are not percentiles. We have no norming sample, so we cannot honestly tell you that you are “more extraverted than 73% of people”. All the number says is where you landed on a 1–5 scale.
Why there is no four-letter type here
Because the evidence does not support one. These five traits are continuous — cutting them into categories turns 2.9 and 3.1 into “two kinds of people”, and hands you a label that feels like an explanation. The numbers are less shareable and more true.
Where these questions come from
All twenty statements are the Mini-IPIP items, reproduced word for word from the International Personality Item Pool — a public-domain research resource whose items are explicitly free to use, including commercially. We did not write them, and we did not reword them: rewording an item makes it a different item, and the reliability figures above would no longer apply to it.

Questions people ask
- Is this the same as the sixteen-type test everyone posts?
- No, and deliberately not. Those assign you to one of sixteen categories. This measures five continuous traits and reports where you landed on each, with the reliability of each scale attached. Different model, different output, and no borrowed branding.
- Why are the questions in English even on other language versions?
- Because a translated item is not the item that was validated. Translation shifts meaning, and the reliability figures shown here were measured on the English wording. Non-English pages show a reference translation underneath, but scoring uses the original.
- Only twenty questions — can that be accurate?
- It is a short form, and it says so. The published reliabilities range from 0.65 to 0.77, which is respectable for twenty items and well short of a clinical instrument. Treat it as a sketch you could redo in three minutes, not a diagnosis.
- Do you keep my answers?
- No. There is no account, no upload, no autosave. Everything is computed in the page and disappears when you close the tab.
- Why show reliability at all? Nobody else does.
- Because it changes how you should read the result. The openness scale here is the noisiest of the five; if your number there surprises you, that is the first thing worth knowing. Hiding it would make the page look more authoritative and be less useful.
