Emotions Personality Quiz

[Seymour]

I’m taking a psychometrics graduate psychology course and as part of the course we have to create a test, have people take it, and analyze the data to see if the test looks reasonable (valid and reliable).

I was interested in how people relate to their feelings, so I created some questions and mixed in a few other very short tests. The result is a 107 question quiz that should take less than twenty minutes. At the end you are presented with results. It’s all self-report questions and relatively straight forward (I hope).

Feel free to share with others, because I need all the data I can get!

The link to the test is here:

Emotions Quiz

Let me know if you have any questions or problems.

Results

Big Five

Five basic personality traits comprise the Big Five. Each of these traits exist on a continuum and are normally distributed in the population (meaning most people's traits or somewhere in the middle). The questions from an empirically validated 10 question Big Five test were incorporated above.
Openness to Experience: 75%
Conscientiousness: 25%
Extroversion: 25%
Agreeableness: 50%
Neuroticism: 25%

Thick vs Thin Boundaries

Ernest Hartman came up with a theory about people with thicker and thinner boundaries. People with thin boundaries are less organized, more spontaneous, spend more time daydreaming, and are more open with others. People with thick boundaries are more methodical, organized, practical, and have more solid interpersonal boundaries.
Thick boundaries percentage: 32%

Interesting test. At first I thought it was too repetitive, but the results are interesting and maybe the repetitiveness is needed

Many thanks, Frosty (and everyone else who has taken the test)! Glad you found it somewhat interesting. It's tough because you don't want to bore your test taker to tears with super redundant questions, but you also need more than a single question trying to get at a trait/construct/whatever, because otherwise you have no way to judge if some questions getting at X are better than others. I also tried to report the results I could at the end, since folks spending the time and energy deserve to get some feedback (even on something relatively new).

I was also happy to post it here, because I was wondering if there was a correlation between different enneagram types and their relationships to fear/sadness/anger. That's a part I won't focus on for my paper for class, given how out of bounds the Enneagram is academically. Still, I was happy to be able to collect a little data and perhaps learn something new. I'll try to report back once I've gotten enough data to analyze, and let people know what I found. If I get extra ambitious, I'll try to add reporting data vs the norm of my dataset.

Regardless, I'm very grateful for people taking my test. This class has been a ton of work, but may turn out to be useful to learn how to design and evaluate psychometric tests in the future.

Based on user feedback, I did add a reminder the answer options which extreme was "strongly agree" and which was "strongly disagree". Also added a graphic arrow at the top to try to orient folks who aren't all about the Likert scale.

Thanks again to everyone who has taken the test!

[Seymour]

I updated the Emotions Quiz with feedback about how one scores relative to other people who have taken the test. Also fixed a bug that caused Enneagram type not to be recorded (that one made me sad).

Feel free to try the new version: Emotions Personality Quiz.

 

[Seymour]

MBTI demographics of respondents who specified MBTI Type:



Correlations included here are significant at the p < 0.001 level (meaning a one in a thousand chance the correlation is a random artifact.) Most are in the weak to moderate range (0.3 to 0.6).

Age, Big Five and Boundary Correlations (gender appears to be less significant):

• People become more comfortable and aware of their emotions with age.
• In general, people who are Big Five Extroverted, Agreeable, Open and low in Neuroticism report being more comfortable and aware of their emotions.
• People who are Big Five Agreeable report being more comfortable with fear and sadness, and less comfortable with anger.
• People who are older, and have thicker boundaries and are low in Big Five Neuroticism report that they have more control over their emotions.
• People who are older and are more Big Five Extroverted report more emotional awareness.
• People who are older, Big Five Extroverted, Agreeable, Open, and not Neurotic report more positivity toward their emotions.
• People who are older, less Big Five Neurotic, more Big Five Conscientious, somewhat more Agreeable and Extroverted, report more control over their emotions.

The primary MBTI correlations in the dataset:

• Feelers felt more aware, comfortable, and positive about emotions generally
• Feelers felt more aware of sadness, and fear (but not anger)
• Feelers felt more positive and comfortable with fear and sadness (but not anger)
• Judgers felt more in control of emotions generally, and particularly anger.

Other interesting data:

• People generally had a very separate relationship to anger. It doesn't correlate with anything else.
• MBTI and Big Five correlations were mostly as expected.
• Gender correlated with Big Five agreeableness. (typical for Big Five)
• The only thing having thicker boundaries significantly correlated with was emotional control.
• Many of my new questions correlate a fair amount with the questions from a test based on Goleman's theory.
