In the long-term, we hope that the DPQ will be of use and interest not only to dog owners, but also in a variety of applications, from collecting information about dogs who are surrendered to animal shelters to assessing the personalities of dogs who perform best in any given job (e.g., guide dog, medical alert dog), or even screening potential working dogs.

In this study, we are looking at how much different people's ratings of the same dog agree.
Thank you for volunteering to take part in this study. In completing this study, we ask that you and at least one other person rate the same dog using the new, 75-item version of the DPQ. So that your ratings are independent, it is very important that you do not talk about how you rated your dog until both of you have completed the questionnaire! You can access the questionnaire through the link at the bottom of this page.

If you would like to learn more about the DPQ, please visit the DPQ information and DPQ Updates pages.

Please note that all personal information you provide on the DPQ will be kept confidential, including your e-mail address if you choose to provide it. Send us a message if you have any questions or concerns (amanda@animalpersonality.org).

Please note that you must currently have at least one dog to participate.

Thank you for helping to develop the DPQ.
