Overview
MindHits is a psychology testing site that runs 15 assessments drawn from public-domain instruments such as the IPIP Big Five, the Rosenberg self-esteem scale and the O*NET RIASEC profiler, and it publishes every item and scoring key so the arithmetic can be checked. It is built for people who want a real questionnaire rather than a flattering four-letter label.
Key Features
- Published sources for every item set: Each assessment names its instrument, authors and licence, so a reader can trace the questions back to the original page and compare them with the key the code uses.
- Scores shown next to the answer: Results return the raw total, the range it could fall inside and a plain explanation of how the two relate. Reverse-keyed items are flipped because the published key says to, not by guesswork.
- Nothing leaves the browser: Answers are scored and kept locally, with no sign-up, no email field and no server holding a record of what someone said about themselves.
- Breadth across personality, wellbeing and work: Big Five and each trait on its own, the 120-item IPIP-NEO with 30 facets, the Dark Triad, WHO-5, GAD-7, perceived stress, cognitive reflection and the RIASEC career profiler.
- Limits stated up front: Pages say clearly when no population norms exist, and repeat that the wellbeing and self-esteem screens are not diagnoses.
It fits readers who value a verifiable instrument over a polished quiz and are willing to trade saved history for privacy.
