Research has found that personality stabilizes during early adulthood (Terracino, McCrae, & Costa Jr., 2010), meaning that scores on the test will change very little if taken after your early 20's.
Plum’s test also has good test-retest reliability. We found similar Plum Trait and Talent scores for individuals who took the test two times across an interval of 2-4 weeks.
The Discovery Survey is designed to capture your natural, ingrained tendencies. Those tendencies tend to be stable over time. For example, each person tends to have a general tendency to be talkative or quiet (or somewhere in the middle), and this tendency tends to stay consistent across one’s life.
