About Read U
Read U publishes free relationship and personality tests that anyone can take in a few minutes, without signing up. Our aim is to make well-established psychology models easy to try and easy to understand.
Methods
- Attachment style test: based on the two-dimension model of adult attachment (anxiety and avoidance) used by the Experiences in Close Relationships questionnaires.
- Love language test: based on the five love languages described by Gary Chapman.
- Big Five personality test: based on the 50-item IPIP Big-Five Factor Markers (Goldberg, 1992), which are in the public domain.
Where an instrument is in the public domain (the IPIP Big-Five markers) we use its items as published. Where it is not, we write our own statements that follow the research model and say so on the page.
What these tests are not
They are not clinical or diagnostic tools, and they are not a substitute for a licensed professional. Results reflect how you describe yourself on the day you take a test.
