Governance, Boundaries & Ethical Use

Construct Boundaries & Interpretive Limitations

This is a 95-item self-report inventory covering 12 facets, 3 to 17 items each. It is an IPIP public-domain item set constructed to represent Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire constructs — it is not the copyrighted MPQ itself and is not affiliated with or endorsed by its publisher. The Unlikely Virtues facet reflects a socially-desirable-responding style, not a personality trait in the ordinary sense, and some facets (e.g. Imagination, Friendliness) have only 3 items and should be read as indicative, not precise.
