WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Big Five Inventory, BFI-2 Test

Big Five Inventory-2 (BFI-2) Test

structure of personality

This measure is a brief self-report inventory of personality traits, commonly referred to as the Big Five Inventory-2 (BFI-2). It is designed to assess broad individual differences across the five-factor model in a standardized format.

The questionnaire includes 60 items and typically takes about 11 minutes to complete. Responses yield scores intended to summarize standing on major trait domains and can support research, screening, and descriptive clinical or organizational assessment when interpreted in context.

Big Five Inventory-2 (BFI-2) results are generally used to inform trait-based formulations rather than to diagnose mental disorders, and should be considered alongside other clinical information and measurement limitations.
