This is a 198-item self-report inventory covering 38 separate facets; individual facet scores are based on as few as 1 and as many as 12 items each, so shorter facets (several with only 1-3 items) are far less precise than longer ones and should be read with that in mind. Results reflect how you currently see yourself, not an objective or clinical evaluation of personality.
