International Personality Item Pool Representation of the NEO PI-R™. Tests designed to educate the public about the five-factor model of personality.

IPIP-NEO

This project is a Python 3 port of Dr. John's IPIP-NEO software. This port is able to run offline (disconnected from the internet).

IPIP-NEO-120 is an IPIP version of the NEO-PI-R test.

"The IPIP-NEO is not identical to the original NEO PI-R, but in my opinion it is close enough to serve as a good substitute. More and more people are beginning to use it in published research, so its acceptance is growing." - Dr. Johnson
