Free open-source BigFive personality traits test

Just wanted to highlight this project because I've had to take many personality tests for school and work and things, and this is the most accurate one I've seen, and the only one where I feel I'm actually learning about myself from the results.

So if you need a personality test for any reason this one's pretty good.

The README in the repo indicates it's based on the NEO-PI, which is kindof the gold standard in personality tests at least right now from what I understand.

Book recommendation for folks who might want to know more about the topic of personality psychology. Me, Myself, and Us: The Science of Personality and the Art of Well-Being by Dr. Brian Little.

It's pretty good for self improvement. I scored kinda high on neuroticism but after learning some psychology stuff like mindfulness/meditation/neuroplasticity/stoicism/ACT i managed to reduce it significantly after about 2.5 years. there was even a study recently that showed how using a app to change your personality and it's not easy and require serious training like learning a language or a musical instrument. I hope we will get eventually some open source version of that app.

and of course you need to be open to it, humans have a documented bias toward not believing what might hurt there self esteem.

Why does this look like the astrology for Gen-Z? If this test is based on self-reflection (at least that's how it seems to me), how does that work for sociopaths and clinical narcissists?

Hi person with BPD diagnosis here. I did the test and only if you know that I have this mental illness you might recognise certain scores. If not there is no way you will get that from this test. Of course n=1.

I myself don't know, but this article I found is good and has some good extra readings at the end that may be able to answer your question. https://www.berkeleywellbeing.com/personality-tests.html

I thought that these personality tests had been debunked?

We had the myers briggs test back in the day, and I've heard on couple podcasts that these tests (including MB) are highly questionable.

As it happens, the latest maintenance phase podacst is about the MB test:

Not listened yet, but will.

MB is bullshit, the big five is the one mostly used by researchers. Altho as it is psychology, you shouldnt expect 100% on validity or other indicators

I only have some concerns about their incomplete privacy policy. What's in it for them? Will my data be sold?

I think that this can be deployed locally. But the structure of the project, as well as the documentation is horrible. I am not even sure what's going on with the weird skeleton:
