Introduction

Thank you for taking the time to participate in this survey. This research is part of a scientific study conducted to develop and validate the Authenticity Index, a new personality assessment scale designed to measure various aspects of authenticity.

Purpose of the Survey

The purpose of this research is to enhance the definition of authenticity further and determine how various factors impact the perception of the authentic self. The key factors we find crucial for authenticity are profound self-awareness, the ability to integrate one’s experiences for personal growth, to recognise and accept the authenticity of other people, and to manage internal influences in order to keep coherence within the roles played across different life stages. By participating in this survey, you will not only contribute to the definition of authenticity but also help develop the methods and tools to support people living authentically.

What to Expect

Duration

The survey will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. Take your time to reflect on each statement and give the response that most resonates with you. Please plan to take the survey in one sitting to ensure consistency in your answers.
