    BIG FIVE Inventory

    Instructions: Below are phrases describing people’s behaviours. Please use the rating scale below to
    describe how accurately each statement describes you. Describe yourself as you generally are now, not
    as you wish to be in the future. Describe yourself as you honestly see yourself, in relation to other
    people you know of the same sex as you are, and roughly your same age. Please read each statement
    carefully, and put a number from 1 to 5 next to it to describe how accurately the statement describes
    you.
    1 - Very inaccurate
    2 - Moderately inaccurate
    3 - Neither inaccurate nor accurate
    4 - Moderately accurate
    5 - Very accurate

    1. _______ Am the life of the party (E)


    2. _______ Sympathize with others’ feelings (A)
    3. _______ Get chores done right away (C)
    4. _______ Have frequent mood swings (N)
    5. _______ Have a vivid imagination (O)
    6. _______Don’t talk a lot (E)
    7. _______ Am not interested in other people’s problems (A)
    8. _______ Often forget to put things back in their proper place (C)
    9. _______ Am relaxed most of the time (N)
    10. ______ Am not interested in abstract ideas (O)
    11. ______ Talk to a lot of different people at parties (E)
    12. ______ Feel others’ emotions (A)
    13. ______ Like order (C)
    14. ______ Get upset easily (N)
    15. ______ Have difficulty understanding abstract ideas (O)
    16. ______ Keep in the background (E)
    17. ______ Am not really interested in others (A)
    18. ______ Make a mess of things (C)
    19. ______ Seldom feel blue (N)
    20. ______ Do not have a good imagination (O)
    Scoring: The first thing you must do is to reverse the items that are worded in the opposite direction. In
    order to do this, subtract the number you put for that item from 6. So if you put a 4, for instance, it will
    become a 2. Cross out the score you put when you took the scale, and put the new number in
    representing your score subtracted from the number 6.
    Items to be reversed in this way: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20
    Next, you need to add up the scores for each of the five OCEAN scales (including the reversed numbers
    where relevant). Each OCEAN score will be the sum of four items. Place the sum next to each scale
    below.
    ______ For Openness: Add items 5, 10, 15, 20

    ______ For Conscientiousness: Add items 3, 8, 13, 18

    ______ For Extraversion: Add items 1, 6, 11, 16

    ______ For Agreeableness: Add items 2, 7, 12, 17

    ______ For Neuroticism: Add items 4, 9,14, 19

    Compare your scores to the norms below to see where you stand on each scale. If you are low on a trait,
    it means you are the opposite of the trait label. For example, low on Extraversion is Introversion, low on
    Openness is Conventional, and low on Agreeableness is Assertive.

    19-20 Extremely
    High, 17-18 Very High,
    14-16 High,
    11-13 Neither high nor low; in the middle,
    8-10 Low,
    6-7 Very low,
    4-5 Extremely low
