@erikjrichter Can you retry? It should work this time.

I find the spectrum endpoints under "Openness to Experience" to be somewhat incongruent. It's quite possible to be both "Traditional" and "Intellectual". It's equally possible to be non-traditional and vacuous. ;) Can you link to info or elaborate on why you chose these two endpoints? Thanks!
@michael_a1 There's a lot that could be said.
It's a scale so yeah if you are in the middle you will feel like you are both. Openness/Intellect is a stance, often used in Academics it's very progressive. Tradition is the opposite stance, it's very conservative.
In the work of Dr. Colin DeYoung and Dr. Jordan B. Peterson "Sources of Openness/Intellect: Cognitive and Neuropsychological Correlates of the Fifth Factor of Personality" they describe Low Openness as Traditionnal(Most traditionnal with high Conscientiousness) and High Openness associated with Intellect. (Not only intellect, you have many other facets)
Intellect is not IQ it's different, it's a stance, but there's a correlation between the 2.
@jc_prattdelzenne Thanks. I still find it conflates two very different attributes. 1) Openness to Experience (reflecting cognitive engagement with perception, fantasy, aesthetics, and emotions) and 2) Intellect (reflecting cognitive engagement with abstract and semantic information, primarily through reasoning). These are NOT the same thing. Thanks for the quick reply and engagement. And thank you for the wonderful test. But I do suggest better terminology for this scale.
Feedback:
CONS
- please think about PC users and map the various buttons to keyboard buttons. It is just painful to keep moving the cursor miles and miles to reach them.
- the test asks a lot of questions, sometimes users can zone out and press the wrong button for all kinds of reasons, can we please get an "undo" button? 🥺
- I can see how a lot of people can get annoyed by the email being requested after quite the time and attention commitment, maybe be a little more transparent about it?
PROS
- simple to use and provides results in a very digestible way while allowing for the ones that are more interested to dive into their results and get way more information.
- the UI is extremely pretty
@stewart_alexander1 This is absolutely not ! It's a scientific test that is reliable and used by psychiatrists and clinical psychologists when they need assess personalities. You can search about the Big Five Personality Traits and the IPIP scientific community to learn more ;-)

How does this compare with the Myer Briggers perosnality test? Since that is one of the most famous and accurate personality test out there?
@the_health_buzz MBTI is more like astrology than a scientific personality test. It’s not recognized by scientific Psychology researchers.
It is very famous because like astrology or anything people can be interpreted in any way we want.
Big five Personality is the most recognized and accurate of all personality tests, it’s no nonsense focused, backed by empirical research and is taught in Psychology courses at Universities.
