Trait Mapping & Score Calculation
Learn how your results are calculated for each assessment. See which questions map to which traits, how scores are computed, and what your results mean.
Big Five Personality
The Big Five measures five broad personality traits. Each trait is calculated from 10 specific questions. Scores are normalized to a 0–100% scale. No reverse scoring is currently applied.
| Trait | Questions (1-based index) | Color/Icon |
|---|---|---|
| Openness (O) | 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, 26, 31, 36, 41, 46 | |
| Conscientiousness (C) | 3, 8, 13, 18, 23, 28, 33, 38, 43, 48 | |
| Extraversion (E) | 2, 7, 12, 17, 22, 27, 32, 37, 42, 47 | |
| Agreeableness (A) | 4, 9, 14, 19, 24, 29, 34, 39, 44, 49 | |
| Neuroticism (N) | 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 |
How scores are calculated:
- Each trait is assigned 10 questions (see table above).
- User answers each question on a 1–5 scale.
- Trait score = sum of answers for that trait / 50 × 100%.
- Example: If you answer 4 for all Openness questions, Openness = (4×10)/50 × 100% = 80%.

Empathy Assessment
The Empathy test measures your ability to understand and share the feelings of others. Each question is scored A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5. Your final score is the average of all answers, mapped to a 1–5 scale.
| Question | Answer Options | Score Mapping |
|---|---|---|
| 1–14 | A, B, C, D, E | A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5 |
How scores are calculated:
- Each answer is converted to a number (A=1, ..., E=5).
- Empathy score = average of all answers (1–5 scale).
- Example: [A, C, E, ...] → [1, 3, 5, ...] → average = 3.2.
