How these scores relate to OCEAN

Big Five questionnaires use different labels and items. These are the broad correspondences, not a claim that all versions measure exactly the same thing.

Common OCEAN dimensionSimilarMinds scaleSLOAN letters
Openness to experienceInquisitivenessI: Inquisitive / N: Non-curious
ConscientiousnessOrderlinessO: Organized / U: Unstructured
ExtraversionExtroversionS: Social / R: Reserved
AgreeablenessAccommodationA: Accommodating / E: Egocentric

Example: RCOAI

Reserved · Calm · Organized · Accommodating · Inquisitive. The five individual scores contain more detail than the type alone. A score of 60% means a position on this questionnaire’s scale; it does not mean the 60th population percentile.

Is the Big Five test free, including the results?

Yes. You can take the test and see your five scores and SLOAN type without purchasing a report. Optional profile saving keeps results together; you choose separately whether to make them public or share them with a group.

What does a high or low score mean?

Each dimension describes a tendency. Neither end is automatically better. Read the trait descriptions, your circumstances, and the whole pattern rather than treating a type as a complete account of you.

Can I compare my results with other people?

You can choose to share a saved Big Five result with a SimilarMinds group. For a dedicated two-person similarity and compatibility comparison across narrower traits, use Distinct Traits.
