To test our hypothesis that personality is an important factor that determines what workspace fits a person, we use a standard personality test: the NEO-FFI test by Hogrefe. This test is a short version (60 questions – takes about 15 minutes to administer) of the test developed by Paul T. Costa, Jr. and Robert R. McCrae. The NEO-FFI provides an indication on each of the “Big Five” personality factors: extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience.We use the results of the personality test only for testing this hypothesis, so the people in the pilot teams do not even see the results. We collect the data and compare it, for instance, with the number of contributions to a blog or a wiki during the test period.
