Self-assessment
Personality traits profile (PID-5-BF, DSM-5)
The brief form of the Personality Inventory for DSM-5, published by the American Psychiatric Association. Instead of putting you in a single category, it shows how strongly five trait domains are present: negative affect, detachment, antagonism, disinhibition and psychoticism (unusual experiences). Each domain is scored from 0 to 3.
Who this questionnaire is for
Useful if you notice long-standing patterns in how you feel, relate to others or act, and you want a broad picture rather than a test for one specific disorder.
25 questions, about 5 minutes. Your answers stay in your browser: nothing is saved or sent, and no name or email is needed.
The PID-5-BF has no official diagnostic cut-off. The overall levels shown here are a guide; domain averages of 2 or more are usually considered clinically worth discussing.
The result is for self-awareness only. It is a screening reflection, not a clinical diagnosis. Krueger, Derringer, Markon, Watson & Skodol (2013). The Personality Inventory for DSM-5 – Brief Form (PID-5-BF). American Psychiatric Association.
