Updated: 5 November 2019
This is a clone from datasets offered at http://openpsychometrics.org/_rawdata/. I have uploaded the data on GitHub for a ease of use, solely for research purpose, allowing students to access the data for statistical courses.
For general public edification the data collected through the personality tests on this website is dumped here. All data is anonymous. Users were informed at the beginning of the test that their answers would be used for research and were asked to confirm that their answers were accurate and suitable for research upon completion (those that did not have been removed from these datasets).
In a comparison, the quality of this data is equal to or better than data from Amazon Mechanical Turk. See A quality comparison of data collected on this website to data collected on Amazon Mechanical Turk. These datasets have been used in 25+ high quality published papers (and many more dubious quality ones); see a list here.
The downloadables are .zip files each containing a .csv file with the data (open with Open Office Calc, or Microsoft Office Excel) and a .txt codebook.
