About this instrument

This is the IPIP-NEO-120 — a 120-item, 30-facet inventory of the Five-Factor Model developed by John A. Johnson (2014) from items in the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP), created by Lewis R. Goldberg. It measures six facets of each Big Five domain: Neuroticism (N), Extraversion (E), Openness to Experience (O), Agreeableness (A), and Conscientiousness (C). The IPIP is public domain — free for any use, commercial or non-commercial, without permission or fee.
