About Kindred

How it works

• The test is made up of 35 statements about everyday situations at work, with friends, in love, with family, and in daily life. For each one, you pick how well it fits you from four options, from "Very true" to "Not true at all."
• The statements are based on the Big Five model of personality, which is widely used in psychology, and they turn freely available personality items (IPIP) into everyday situations. You answer the same way as with the original items: by how much you agree.
• Your answers give you scores on five traits, and your type is set by the two that stand out most. There are 40 types in all.

The five traits

Emotional response · How much things shake you when they happen

Rarely shaken ↔ Easily shaken

Planning style · Whether you settle things ahead or as you go

Decide as I go ↔ Plan ahead

Energy source · Whether time alone or time with people fills you up

Recharge alone ↔ Recharge with others

Conflict style · Whether you speak up or give way when you disagree

Say what I think ↔ Give way first

Novelty preference · Whether the unfamiliar or the familiar feels easier

Prefer the familiar ↔ Drawn to the new
