This optional IPIP ten-item self-report asks about your usual tendencies in general life, not just GMing. Think about how accurately each statement describes you. You may skip this activity. It is not a diagnosis, a GM competence test, or a recommendation to adopt one play style.
Choose 1 Very inaccurate, 2 Moderately inaccurate, 3 Neither inaccurate nor accurate, 4 Moderately accurate, or 5 Very accurate. No answers are required, but a total is shown only when all ten items are answered.
The four negatively worded items are scored as 6 minus your response; the other six use your response as entered. Add the ten values for a raw total from 10 to 50. A larger total indicates greater self-described conscientiousness on this scale. There are no percentile ranks, pass/fail thresholds, or GM proficiency categories here.
Consider when preparation or flexibility helps your table. Choose a concrete action to examine rather than interpreting a trait as your destiny. Use observations of that action to guide development.
