Ten Item Personality Inventory (TIPI) and Results Interpretation

This is meant to be a quick assessment for the Big Five personality traits currently favoured by academic psychology (Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, Neuroticism, Openness, and Extraversion – CANOE or OCEAN). Supposedly, it has excellent reliability and validity to measure someone’s Big Five results compared to the 240 question Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R), developed by Paul Costa and Robert R. McCrae. Of course, the TIPI is more prone to error than the NEO PI-R, but it is ideal for those who don’t have the time or the resource to do the NEO PI-R, and might be a good introduction for the CANOE theory and how you fare with it.

Results were only going to be explained after the course were over, so I’ll wait till then to share since the survey has a lot of questions. It takes 15-20 minutes to go through, they say, but when you think about how you can rattle off probably 3 or more quick questions a minute, that’s a LOT of questions to document, try to explain and such.

Besides, if you are reading this and might be doing the course, I don’t want to bias how you might take this optional survey that has a few unexpected things in it which you would be prepared for if I told you about it in detail. This little spoiler shouldn’t skew things much, though. 🙂

Now came the first real meaty part of the course, the rewirements that are homework activities from the course to do each day. They are called “rewirements” because they’re practices aimed at rewiring your habits. Research suggests that if you do these rewirements as prescribed, you should get a boost in your mood and overall well-being.
