About B5 Persona – Personality Assessments
From the official readme · v0.5.18Description
Help visitors discover their personality type on your own WordPress site.
B5 Persona adds a short Big Five-based assessment, with 20 questions and an
illustrated result at the end.
Use it to start coaching conversations, add a self-reflection activity to a
course, or offer an interactive resource for your community. Visitors can also
explore eight illustrated type guides to learn more about different tendencies
and strengths.
What you get for free
- A 20-question assessment with clear, step-by-step navigation.
- Illustrated personality type results and eight guides you can publish on your site.
- English and Arabic, including right-to-left layouts.
- Mobile-friendly layouts with light and dark appearance options.
- Optional result sharing and downloadable result images.
- Progress and the latest result remembered in the same browser when browser storage is enabled.
- Counts of assessment views, starts and completions in your WordPress dashboard.
Publish your first assessment
Install B5 Persona, connect your free B5Tools account, then add the B5Tools
Assessment block or [b5tools_assessment] shortcode to a page. You can also choose
a page for the personality type library.
The free B5Tools plan includes 100 assessments each month for one connected
site. B5Tools supplies the questions and scores the answers through its hosted
service, so a B5Tools account and an internet connection are required.
When you need more
B5Tools Pro adds branded PDF reports, email follow-ups, saved member result
history, CRM connections, WooCommerce recommendations and more detailed
analytics. These features require the separate Pro add-on and a hosted Pro plan.
External services
B5 Persona depends on the hosted B5Tools service at https://b5tools.ly. A B5Tools
account and an outbound HTTPS connection are required to connect a site, load
assessment content, score completed assessments, check plan features, and send
service diagnostics.
When an administrator connects the plugin, it sends site and account metadata
needed to create and verify the connection, including the site URL or domain,
plugin version, and connection credentials. When a visitor takes an
assessment, the plugin sends the assessment answers to B5Tools for scoring.
Raw answers are not saved in the B5Tools application database by default.
B5Tools may retain operational metadata such as request time, credential
prefix, environment, normalized site or domain, quota use, event type, and
error or diagnostic details. Metadata telemetry does not include raw answers,
visitor names, email addresses, or full trait vectors.
Optional lead capture, result email, CRM, automation, webhook, analytics, and
saved-result features are controlled by the WordPress site operator. Their
data is stored or sent through WordPress and the services the operator chooses,
as described in the plugin settings and the operator’s own privacy notice.
The hosted service is operated by GLORIAPR LTD.

Frequently asked questions
Will visitors see B5Tools credits or external profile links?
You choose. B5Tools credits and profile links are off by default. Enable them under B5 Persona > Data & Privacy if you want to display them.
What happens to my settings and saved data if I uninstall the plugin?
Uninstalling B5 Persona or B5Tools Pro keeps shared settings and records in WordPress. Uninstalling a package does not erase that data.
