The Big Five Personality Test

The debate on whether or not to give high school psychology students personality or intelligence tests been going on for as long as I can remember. Rather than venture into the debate, the Midnight Postings will include links to various personality tests and allow each individual teacher to decide whether or not to use them.

Please be aware, personality tests posted on this site have not been thoroughly examined. It is extremely important that teachers preview personality and intelligence tests before using them in class.

The Big Five Personality Test was developed by Oliver John from the University of California Berkely. This online test can be found at http://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/
