Whit ye are describin

Answer 16 statements aboot hoo ye generally are, no jist the day. Thir are IPIP (International Personality Item Pool) items in the public domain, fae the Anxiety an Vulnerability facets [1]. We keep their English wordin an pit thegither a balanced selection o statements aboot sensitivity an calmness.

There arenae richt answers. Ye can chynge a choice wi Back, skip a statement, or stap ony time. Skippin disnae count as a low score. A complete profile needs an answer tae ilka statement; we dinnae fill in ony answers ye miss.

Hoo tae read the profile

The service reverses the sensitivity items an averages the answers sae that a heicher response pattern describes mair calmness under pressure. The headline is a braid description, no a clinical cut-off. It reflects whit ye reportit, no an independent observation o yer ettle tae cope.

A separate comparison band describes whaur that complete response pattern sits amang ither Helibrain players’ first eligible runs. Gin there arenae eneuch players, we shaw the coont sae far. Thir are folk veesitin the wabsite, no a representative population or a clinical reference group.

Whit the science backs up

IPIP provides personality items an keys in the public domain [1][2]. Research on IPIP personality inventories backs up the wider framework [3], but oor selected short profile hasnae been validated on its ain. We dinnae transfer reliability figures fae a langer inventory tae this selection.

Calmness an stress reactivity are linked tae hoo fowk experience pressure, but they arenae the same as recoverin fae a particular setback. This profile isnae a mental-health screen, a diagnosis, or a prediction o hoo ye will cope wi a future event. Mood, context an hoo ye tak a statement can chynge yer answers.

Support gin ye need it

Gin ye are in immediate danger, get in touch wi yer local emergency service. In the US, caa or text 988, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Elsewhaur, find a helpline in yer kintra. Ye dinnae need a particular profile result tae seek support.

Aften-asked questions

Are the statements free tae uise?

Aye. IPIP says its items an scales are in the public domain for commercial an non-commercial uise [2]. This page disnae uise PSS, DASS, BRS or ither licensed questionnaires.

How this test works

This short questionnaire describes how calm you usually feel under pressure. You rate 16 statements, such as 'Worry about things', from 'Very inaccurate' to 'Very accurate' for how you generally are. Statements about worry are reversed, and all answers are averaged into one number from 1 to 5, where higher means calmer. You can skip any statement, but a profile needs all 16. The statements come from a free item pool used in personality psychology since the 1990s.
