Immoderation

Impulse control under desire is separable from planning or discipline generally.

High scorers find cravings hard to override. Low scorers can sit with an urge without acting on it.

Often confused with low Conscientiousness, but it is specifically about appetite rather than organisation.

Four public-domain statements, answered on a five-point scale. Items marked − are reverse keyed: agreeing with them counts against the trait, which is what stops agreeing with everything from producing a high score.

• +Go on binges
• -Rarely overindulge
• -Easily resist temptations
• -Am able to control my cravings

Four items is not many. A facet measured this way carries real uncertainty, which is why every score on this site is reported as a range rather than a single number.
