The IDRlabs 3 Minute Liberalism Test (IDR-3MLT) was developed by IDRlabs. The IDR-3MLT is based on the work of Dr. Robert McCrae and Dr. Paul Costa Jr., who created the Big Five Personality Inventory. Liberalism is one of the sub traits of the Big Five trait of openness to experience. The IDR-3MLT is not associated with any specific researchers in the field of personality psychology or any affiliated research institutions.

The IDRlabs 3 Minute Liberalism Test was informed by the Big 5 Personality Inventory criteria for openness, as published in Costa, Paul & McCrae, R.R. (1999). A five-factor theory of personality. The Five-Factor Model of Personality: Theoretical Perspectives. 2. 51-87. Nordin, M.S. (2012). Confirmatory factor analysis on the big 5 personality test inventory.

Crit. 31, 32 (2018).

The work of Dr. McCrae and Dr. Costa has also informed some of the diagnostic criteria in the form of the widely used psychological instrument, the Big 5 Personality Inventory, for clinical use, especially by qualified mental health professionals. The present test is intended for educational purposes only. IDRlabs and the present IDRlabs 3 Minute Liberalism Test are independent of the above researchers, organizations, or their affiliated institutions.
