Description of the Questionnaire

The GalaPersonality Test is a self-report tool designed to measure key dimensions of personality based on the well-established Five-Factor Model (Big Five). The questionnaire consists of 50 statements to which participants are asked to respond according to their level of agreement on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = Strongly Disagree to 5 = Strongly Agree). The five main dimensions assessed are Extraversion, Emotional Stability (reverse of Neuroticism), Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, and Agreeableness/Cooperativeness.

Purpose

The purpose of the GalaPersonality Test is to provide a valid and reliable personality assessment tool, to support users in self-awareness and in enhancing both intrapersonal and interpersonal development, and to be used in research contexts or advisory settings such as career counseling, coaching, and team dynamics analysis.

Data Analysis and Use

The collected data can be analyzed through descriptive statistics, including means and standard deviations per dimension, reliability analysis using Cronbach’s alpha for each subscale, correlation analysis between dimensions (e.g., Pearson r), and clustering techniques to identify different personality profiles. The results are presented in profile format with both numerical and visual summaries. Data collection and processing are conducted with full respect for anonymity and personal data protection.

Scoring

Each statement is scored from 1 to 5, with some items being reverse-scored due to negative phrasing. Total scores for each dimension are calculated by summing the responses relevant to that factor. Extraversion, Emotional Stability, Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, and Agreeableness are each assessed using 10 items. High scores indicate stronger expressions of the corresponding trait, such as high sociability for Extraversion, calmness and low anxiety for Emotional Stability, creativity for Openness to Experience, responsibility for Conscientiousness, and trust and collaboration for Agreeableness.
