Frequently asked questions

About TraitLab

What is TraitLab?

TraitLab is an online personality assessment platform that provides detailed, research-backed insights into your personality traits, strengths, and interests.

TraitLab helps individuals understand themselves better and make informed decisions about personal development, relationships, and career paths.

How does TraitLab work?

TraitLab uses scientifically validated questions from decades of psychological research to create a comprehensive profile of your personality, strengths, and interests.

After completing the assessment, you'll receive detailed reports about several aspects of your personality and how they influence different areas of your life.

Using TraitLab

Is TraitLab free to use?

You can sign up for a free account to complete the personality assessment and access some of your results. Unlocking the full results requires purchasing the paid version, TraitLab Plus.

What is included in TraitLab Plus?

TraitLab Plus includes seven detailed reports: Personality Traits, Strengths, Career Interests and Matches, Interpersonal Style, Personality Wordcloud, 16 Personality Typology, and Enneagram Typology.

You can learn more about the results in the TraitLab Plus.

How long is the assessment?

Most people will start seeing their first results after about 10 minutes (about 100 questions).

If you want to see every possible result from TraitLab, the full assessment can take anywhere from 30-90 minutes. However, you can always save your progress and take the assessment across several sittings.

Why is the assessment so long?

Most popular online personality tests suffer from poor reliability and validity, meaning your results will be inaccurate and inconsistent over time.

TraitLab prioritizes high accuracy, reliability, and validity over speed. TraitLab achieves this through asking several rounds of questions about increasingly nuanced aspects of your personality. Each round increases reliability and removes error and noise from your personality profile.

Can I re-take the assessment?

Yes! With TraitLab Plus, users can reset their profiles and retake the full assessment every 30 days.

Can I share my results?

Yes! All TraitLab accounts (free and paid) include a public profile for sharing your personality insights with others.

Purchasing and Pricing

How much does TraitLab Plus cost?

TraitLab Plus costs $19. Local taxes may apply.

Is TraitLab Plus a one-time payment or a subscription?

TraitLab Plus is a one-time payment that grants lifetime access to the full TraitLab assessment and results. There is no subscription service, and there are no recurring fees or payments.

Yes! If you purchase TraitLab Plus and aren't happy, you can receive a full refund by contacting support@traitlab.com within 7 days of your purchase. Refunds are limited to first-time purchases only.

Visit the Invites section, where you can send invite codes to others, see when they've been redeemed, and collaborate on assessment results.

Accuracy and Science

How accurate are the results?

TraitLab’s assessments are based on peer-reviewed research and validated psychological methods. While no test is perfect, TraitLab provides a highly accurate and nuanced understanding of your personality compared to most online tests.

How is TraitLab different from other personality tests?

Unlike many popular personality tests, TraitLab was designed by a research Ph.D., based on the tools and techniques used in modern personality science.

TraitLab goes beyond surface-level descriptions and offers a more advanced, detailed, and quantitative analysis of your personality, strengths, and interests.

Privacy and Data

Is my data private?

Yes! TraitLab prioritizes your privacy. Your responses are stored securely, and TraitLab does not share data with any other services. You are the only person who decides whether to share your results with others.
