The Leader Profile
A personality profile built on the Big Five, from the public-domain IPIP items. Take the quick test of 20 questions or the full test of 120. The result is yours alone, until you choose to share it with your group.
What it brings
- For you
Know your own tendencies
- Five domains, each placed lower, middle or higher on the answer scale.
- Never good or bad: a trait describes you.
- Private by default, and yours to delete at once.
- For the leadership group
Understand each other better
- Each member shares at the level they choose, or not at all.
- People lists what each member has shared, and nothing more.
- A starting point for talking about how you work together.
- For the organisation
Development, never selection
- It is for each leader’s own development.
- It is never used for selection, promotion or performance evaluation.
- No admin or coach has a path to anyone’s profile.
How it works
Two lengths
The quick test asks 20 questions and is labelled a first look. The full test asks 120, with the five domains and their facets. Both use the published IPIP items, word for word.
- Progress is saved, so you can stop and come back.
- Your answers are not stored: only the sums the result needs.

Your result, on Me
Each domain is shown as lower, middle or higher on the answer scale, with your own position marked. No norm group is used yet, and the page says so.
- You choose what each group sees: nothing, domains, or domains and facets.
- A retake replaces the profile and resets sharing to nothing.
What the group sees
People lists each member and what they have shared. A profile that is not shared reads “Not shared”, the same as no profile, so no one can tell whether one exists.
Three levels of sharing
- 1
Nothing
Your profile shows as Not shared. This is where every profile starts.
- 2
Domains
The five domains, as lower, middle or higher. No facets.
- 3
Domains and facets
The five domains and their facets, as lower, middle or higher.
Questions and answers
- Where do the questions come from?
- From the International Personality Item Pool, which is in the public domain. The quick test is the Mini-IPIP and the full test is the IPIP-NEO-120, both word for word.
- Who can see my profile?
- Only you, until you share it with a group. You choose the level for each group, and it applies at once.
- Can I delete it?
- Yes. Deleting removes the profile and every share at once. It cannot be undone.
- Is it compared with other leaders?
- Not yet. Results are placed on the answer scale in three equal bands, and the page says that no norm group is used.
