Selected personality data from the SAPA-Project: 01Jan2020 to 31Dec2020

Like prior data posted in this repository, these data were collected as part of an initiative to evaluate the structure of personality, specific in the broad domain of temperament. In the context of modern personality theory, temperament is typically construed in terms of the Big Five (Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, Neuroticism, Openness, and Extraversion) though these data cover a wide range of additional constructs, including many that are much more narrow and specific. Data were collected from more than 200,000 visitors to the SAPA-Project website between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020. Participants were administered a mixture of survey content that was partially consistent across all respondents and partially distinct. The consistent portion included the SAPA Personality Inventory, various measures from the International Cognitive Ability Resource, and a range of demographic and psychographic questions. Each participant was also administered a random sampling of items from a much larger pool of psychosocial surveys. The data are available in rdata format and are accompanied by documentation stored as a text file. Re-use potential include many types of structural and correlational analyses for personality and personality-outcomes research.
