What it measures

The Mini-IPIP6 (Sibley and colleagues, 2011) adds a sixth trait, Honesty-Humility, to the Mini-IPIP version of the Big Five: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness to experience. Each of the 24 statements is rated from 1 (very inaccurate) to 7 (very accurate), some in reverse. Every trait is the average of four statements, from 1 to 7. The scale is listed in the International Personality Item Pool, a public-domain collection.

This is not a verdict

These are your own ratings of yourself, and there are no good or bad traits. Four statements per trait give only a rough picture, and the test has no cut-offs or types. Neuroticism is the name of a trait, not a disorder.

How is this different from the five-trait Big Five test?

This version adds a sixth trait, Honesty-Humility, and asks 24 questions instead of 10, so each trait rests on four statements instead of two. The five shared traits are scored the same way, but the questions differ, so the numbers will not match exactly. The short test also reports emotional stability, which is the same trait as neuroticism scored the other way round. For the short five-trait version, take: Big Five personality test

Is this the HEXACO test?

No. HEXACO is a six-trait model of personality by Ashton and Lee, and Honesty-Humility is its sixth trait. This test is a short questionnaire from the International Personality Item Pool built on the same idea, the Big Five plus Honesty-Humility, so its scores are not interchangeable with the HEXACO-PI-R.
