Personality Inventory - Science topic

The multiple regression result shows you that there is partial redundancy between the independent variables (they are correlated and overlap in terms of "explaining" the DV). Openness is no longer a significant predictor once the other predictors are in the model because one or more of them accounts for (partially) the same portion of variance as does openness.

Another issue could be overfitting. With additional correlated predictors, standard errors will become larger, reducing statistical power. Therefore, with more predictors in the model, previously significant predictor variables may become insignificant.

The question is what you want to find out. If your goal is to determine the most relevant predictor variables then the multiple regression model would be preferred because it accounts for the redundancy of the predictors. Depending on your sample size, you may not have enough power though given the number of predictors.

Hi Jeanine, Your survey design is pretty complicated. Maybe make each of your questions into 8 questions, so item 1 becomes 1a, 1b, ..., 1h.. In cells put each participant's choice: 1 for 1st, 2 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd, and 4 for the rest. You can do a factor analysis and you're hypothesizing all the a's load together, all the b's together, etc. Hopefully you have 8 reliable scales. If people actually are types, you can make a histogram of each scale and they should be bimodal, so you have one group of low scorers (if 1 is 1st choice) and then a much larger group of high scorers (with almost all 4's). Hope this helps. -Maddie.

My first question concerns why you would want to use MBTI in the first place. What will a few questions about the MBTI "dimensions" add to your research?

My understanding is that the MBTI is more lore than science in that many of the assertions about the MBTI do not hold up to rigorous analyses.

If I am wrong about the research about the MBTI, perhaps someone can provide clarification.

Stephen Joy , back-translating, Good thought, I actually do that maybe whit out thinking of it this way with 2 persons.. But as a none native English, I "crossfire" it so to speak in language translating programs. First Swedish into English and back again from English to Swedish. (some tímes even over again) to check if the context remains or changes. It gives one a great input in nuances within the language. I.e., like differences in using therefore versus therefor or even there-fore.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your help. This is a great work and a very useful reference.

Thanks again.

The EVALART 5 Factors Test is an inventory that evaluates the 5 great personality factors: Extraversion, Kindness, Responsibility, Emotional Stability, and Openness to Experience, and is based on the studies of Tupes and Christal (1961) and Norman (1963), who based on the Lexical model of personality, raised the 5 basic characteristics that define personality. The results offer a numerical report on the level that each candidate presents in the characteristics, as well as an exhaustive description of the behaviors , motivations and trends of the same.

The test is sufficiently substantiated at the research level, so it is widely validated when evaluating personality. It also offers a User Manual, which guides the user when carrying out the selection and recruitment process, as it informs about the typical behavioral and emotional patterns that can be found in the different Organizational and Company roles.

Many: In fact, the history of Statistics has been closely linked to that of Psychology in order to meet the needs of Psychometry ... in such a framework, and without being exhaustive, we could cite -among many others-: Francis Galton - Psychologist "avant la lettre", considered the father of Differential Psychology and the first Intelligence Tests, K. Pearson, William Gosset (Student), R. Fisher and E. Pearson (son of K. Pearson); The latter worked in collaboration with the Polish mathematician Jerzy Neyman, the first Pearson, in addition to producing the formula for calculating the correlation, is the creator of the "chi" or "Chi square" test. Gosset created the T-test in its original form, Fisher further developed such a test by baptizing it as “the Student's T”, because the terms of the employment contract between Gosset and the Guinness brewery in Dublin could only sign with his real name the documents prepared for She thus used the pseudonym "Student" to sign her articles on statistics. In addition to developing the famous Student's T, Fisher created the analysis of variance, which was later christened the F test, in her honor; Charles Spearman, a psychologist who made important contributions to psychology and statistics, developing Factor Analysis and the Correlation that bears his name; Louis Leon Thurstone; Amun; Yela and many others.

Do you have the complete "specimen bag" of said Test ?; At least, as it is marketed in Spain by the TEA (Associated Technical Specialists -AST in English-) house, this entails, as with all tests, its pertinent correction template, by virtue of which, it is corrected by adding in each subscale a point in each item marked on the Answer Sheet, according to said Template; although it can also be corrected by computer, with the "ad hoc" keys / program. The Manual, as is always the case and in all Psychometric Tests, does not indicate the scores obtained, etc. For this, there are the indicated templates or the program for the computer.

Follow the guidelines and lines established, in such an important subject, by Adorno et al. in his famous "F Scale" on the "Authoritarian Personality", by Max Horkheimer, sociologist and psychologist, known for his work on so-called critical theory as a member of the Frankfurt School of social research, for the "D Scale" on concept of Dogmatism by Milton Rokeach and Fred N. Kerlinger, by Henri Tajfel and his pioneering work on the cognitive aspects of prejudice and Social Identity Theory ... and many others ... myself, along with my Team -without eagerness of protagonism or any petulance, if not only for illustrative purposes - I have several contributions about prejudices, stereotypes, religious intransigence, etc here in "RG" and we have patents on the "R Scale", on Religiosity, the "S Scale ", on prejudices towards AIDS, the" C Scale ", on Attitudes towards human cloning, etc.

For what ever reason, I got to know your question just today - means far to late.

However, you could have been a bit smarter and sent an email asking me directly. We translated or prepared the TCI-R for publication, published about the comparison between the German version of the TCI and the TCI-R in Psychological Reports. However, the 5-point Likert type answer model did not work well (neither in German nor in Swedish). Too many midpoint answers making the 5-point answer model highly questionable. Cloninger never published a detailed item analysis neither for the TCI nor for the TCI-R, as far as I know. Therefore, Sven Brândström and I decided that we should work with the true-false answer model for the TCI-R as well. Bob Cloninger did not like autonomous decisions. Some German colleagues are still working with this version of the TCI-R since this is the latest one with available German norms. Best Jörg Richter

Hi Robert

My one student is conducting research on role of family factors on juvenile delinquent behavior in Pakistan. I wonder how much your instrument will be helpful in using it in the field.

You can share it on sanaullah.panezai@gmail.com

Orthogonality is a mathematical term that translates to the measurement of a multidimensional construct, like personality, for the purpose of simply showing that each of the Big 5 traits is distinct and does not conceptually collapse into another trait.

If two variables, say, conscientiousness and neuroticism, were so correlated that one can be linearly predicted from the other, we would have no empirical basis on which to claim the two were separate traits.

Contrast orthogonality with collinearity.

"Following Barry et al.’s (2007) scoring procedure, we computed

mean scores for adaptive narcissism (i.e., authority and self-

sufficiency items; α = .70) and maladaptive narcissism

(i.e., entitlement, exploitativeness, and exhibitionism items;

α = .75)."

From this paper:

The NEO-FFI and NEO-PI are proprietary instruments, under copyright and offered for sale by the publisher ( https://www.parinc.com/Products/Pkey/274 ). You can't just post copies online. Here are your options:

1. Purchase copies from the publisher. You can administer the test on a computer (rather than paper-and-pencil) for a few dollars each, but I think you need to buy the Manual first. You might check with a professor to see if your department has the Manual and would be willing to use their authorization to buy copies.

2. Use a different test, one that is in the public domain or has been made available by its authors. The International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) may be helpful. I am not totally happy with their items, but the scores seem to correlate well with those from other five-factor inventories.

Sonja -

What are you using these instruments *for*? That should guide your choice. If you are looking at general psychopathology/mental health, any of the MMPI versions will be better than any of the MCMI versions. The advantage of the MMPI2-RF is the additional validity scales and its shorter length; having said that, you also lose a lot of the "extra" scales that have been developed for the MMPI-2 over the years. Because the MMPI2-RF items are all contained within the original MMPI-2, you can have the best of both worlds by administering the MMPI-2 and scoring both versions from the one administration. We use the MMPI-2 Extended Score Report (which gives RCS's for the clinical scales) and also the MMPI-2-RF Report; this can get pricey if you are doing large scale test administration, but it definitely gives you the best data. What you lose is the brevity of the RF...

Hi Velvetina,

I suggest that you might consider the Dark Tetrad which adds "everyday-sadism to the Triad see Buckles, Jones, & Paulhus, 2013

I have adminstered this test several times over the past few years and it takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour for clients to complete it.

How did you employ HPI in your work. I am trying to examine personality traits in adaptive performance to changes in the construction industry. were you able to validate the HPI Filippo Ferrari

Here's the one I'd recommend! (The BFI-2)

Hi Rhea/Augusto,

Apparently there are more HEXACO versions for children ;-)! Maybe we should get together to share! I developed the HEXACO Simplified Personality Inventory (HEXACO-SPI), which is also suitable for children 11 years and older. It contains 96 items + 2 interstitial facets (Altruism and Proactivity = 104 items in total) and has been published in Dutch (in Gedrag & Organisatie), but an English version is available. The questionnaire has also been the basis of the Brief HEXACO Inventory (BHI), which has been published in JRP. If you’re interested, I can send you the English version.

Cheers,

Reinout

Be careful. The NEO-RFFI-R is copyrighted. You must pay per use. It cannot be downloaded off of a website legally. If you publish anything using research from the NEO that you did not pay for, you may be charged.

Alternatively, the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) is based on the NEO and is open access. All information about it can be found here: http://ipip.ori.org/

You can get all the items for the IPIP for free, and the website includes correlation information with the NEO. I strongly advise against using the NEO illegally or posting the form here. You can choose to purchase it if you prefer to use the NEO.

I do not think there are norms, strictly speaking, for this measure. It's mainly a research tool, not a commercial test, and can be used with various populations. As I understand it, the measure began (Raskin & Hall, 1979) as a 54-item scale, but was shortened to 40 items some years later (Raskin & Terry, 1988). There is also a 16-item form, and of course each would have different properties. 

Anyway, sample #1 from the 1988 article (N = 1,018 college students) had a mean of 15.55 and a standard deviation of 6.66 - it's encouraging that the paper you read had such a similar mean score. You could, I suppose, use those findings as norms, but you should not be surprised to obtain discrepant results. After all, normative attitudes (and even the subtle meanings of words) can change in 30 years! Not to mention in going from Berkeley, California to Newfoundland!

Sorry for this delayed response.

In the alternative DSM-5 model for personality disorders, criterion A (Level of Personality Functioning) is used to detect or diagnose the presence and severity of personality disorder, whereas criterion B (PID-5 traits) is used to describe the style/type of the personality disorder / or personality difficulties. In other words, a cut-off is not really relevant for the PID-5. 

For clinical purporses, I recommend to use a computerized version of the PID-5 and an excel scoring sheet for rapidly creating graphical profiles. 

In our clinical setting, we use this procedure, and we also use T-scores instead of raw-scores based on a normal population sample, which allows us to see where the patient is above the avarage and below the average - and we can also use one standard deviation (15) below or above 50 as indicator of a clinical significant score. 

Hopefully an officially available practitioner's guide will soon be published along with easy-to-use administration and scoring software.

You can also consider hitting up the International Personality Item Pool. It is a pretty amazing collaboration. They have a free alternative to the NEO along with information on how well their scales correlate with the NEO. I used it in my master's thesis because I could not afford the NEO. http://ipip.ori.org/

They do have a number of other measures.

If you are using the hand-scored version of the NEO-PI-R, it is basically self-scoring. You peel back the top sheet to reveal the carbon copy beneath, which displays the points to be added for each response. Adding across the rows gives you the facet raw scores (e.g., N1, N2). Combining all facet scores with the same initial letter (e.g., N1 + N2 + ... + N6) yields the trait raw scores.

The profile sheets (sold with the kit) enable you to plot the raw scores onto T-Scores. (The T scale is shown to the left & right of the profile.)

If you are using the short form (NEO-FFI) it's basically the same, except that there are no facet scores.

If you are using a "bootleg" copy, then you may be out of luck. You could consult the Manual to see which items are scored on which factor  and create your own scoring instructions. But please be aware that you will be in violation of copyright laws, and your university's IRB will not be happy about that.

Here's a study using the CPI: Chronic trauma effects on personality traits in police officers.

doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/jts.22089

By Leigh Wills, Jennifer; Schuldberg, David

Journal of Traumatic Stress, Mar 8 , 2016, No Pagination Specified.

The impact of cumulative occupational exposure to traumatic events (TEs), posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms, and work environment stress on personality traits over time was examined in 38 police officers from an urban agency. California Psychological Inventory (CPI) personality trait scores from prehire evaluations were compared with follow‐up CPI scores to test whether exposure to traumatic events was correlated with changes in traits from baseline to 5–10 years later. Measures of occupational TEs, PTS symptoms, and police work environment stress were administered. Mean trait scores declined on all CPI traits analyzed in the study. Trait change was evaluated using the Reliable Change Index; change in participants’ scores unlikely to occur by chance ranged from 11% to 63% in the traits examined. All participants reported substantial TE exposure. PTS symptoms were correlated with steeper decline in 4 of 5 traits, with effect sizes ranging from r = −.47 to r = −.67. Scores on measures of job‐related TEs were negatively correlated with only one CPI trait (empathy) at T2 (r = −.31), and were unrelated to slope of trait change. Work environment stress was significantly related to gender, with female officers reporting higher levels of operational (r = .45) and organizational (r = .54) stress.

I am a big advocate of the Heartland Forgiveness Scale (Thompson, Snyder et. al.) and its 3 subscales. I not only use it routinely in my clinical work to track change in forgiveness but it is also in my 2010 book the Forgiveness Solution and available on-line (automatically scored there). I also like the State Self-Forgiveness Scale by Wohl, DeShea and Wahkinney (2008) which I also use clinically. if you google the scenario based Willingness to Forgive Scale by DeShea you will see she no longer recommends using her own scale.

Is this what you are looking for?

Manual Summary Information Samples

NEO-PI-R • NEO Personality Inventory - Revised

P.T. (Jr.) Costa, R.R. McCrae

Hogrefe Ltd. The Test People, Oxford

Overview

The Test

The NEO PI-R is a measure of the five major domains of personality as well as the six facets that define each domain. Taken together, the five domain scales and thirty facet scales of the NEO PI-R facilitate a comprehensive and detailed assessment of normal adult personality. The NEO PI-R is recognized internationally as a gold standard for personality assessment. Today, reputable developers of personality tests for the occupational market will as a matter of course publish data on the relationship of their tests with the five factor model using one form or another of the NEO as the benchmark. The total amount of recent data from high level academic journals concerning the NEO PI-R underpins its quality.

Description of the domain and facet scales

Neuroticism: identifies individuals who are prone to psychological distress

Anxiety: level of free floating anxiety

Angry Hostility: tendency to experience anger and related states such as frustration and bitterness

Depression: tendency to experience feelings of guilt, sadness, despondency and loneliness

Self-Consciousness: shyness or social anxiety

Impulsiveness: tendency to act on cravings and urges rather than reining them in and delaying gratification

Vulnerability: general susceptibility to stress

Extraversion: quantity and intensity of energy directed outwards into the social world

Warmth: interest in and friendliness towards others

Gregariousness: preference for the company of others

Assertiveness: social ascendancy and forcefulness of expression

Activity: pace of living

Excitement Seeking: need for environmental stimulation

Positive Emotions: tendency to experience positive emotions

Openness to Experience: the active seeking and appreciation of experiences for their own sake

Fantasy: receptivity to the inner world of imagination

Aesthetics: appreciation of art and beauty

Feelings: openness to inner feelings and emotions

Psychometric properties

The psychometric properties reported below relate to the UK adaptation of the NEO PI-R.

Reliability

Item analysis, (Cronbach’s Alpha) and factor analysis were carried out on a sample of 609 respondents in the UK Anglicization study. The UK results show close alignment with those from the US. The domain scales show internal reliabilities which range from .87 to .92. Facet scales show internal reliabilities ranging from .58 to .82.

Test retest reliabilities are all above .75

Validity

Validity data is extensive; for a full account the reader is referred to the Professional Manual (US edition), and reference lists are available from the publishers.

Hello Karizza,

I use a variety of personality instruments in my consulting practice and use them as a framework for understanding how and why miscommunications occur.

You asked: How would my study contribute for the students and parents? And, would there be others that will benefit?

I am not sure what approach you are taking, but I imagine it is qualitative rather than quantitative.

If your study includes case studies of personality instruments being used by parents and college-students to improve their grade-point averages (or graduation rates), then your study could provide both parents and students with insights into how to enjoy "the college years".

For example, if parents who thrive on autonomy knew they may be perceived as neglectful or uncaring by children who thrive on involvement, support and warmth, they may seek ways to provide the type of support their child needs. If the roles are reversed, a college student who thrives on autonomy may become more understanding (and less resentful) of his/her parents' need for involvement.

Let me know if this answer is helpful. If it is, how else may I help you with your research?

Norms for the Junior EPI are for ages 7-17, so you should probably use that.

The Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (JEPQ) extends personality assessment to children 7-17 years of age, measuring the same three major dimensions of personality as the adult version. The JEPQ includes a Lie scale to detect a pattern of socially desirable responding.

Range: Ages 7 - 17

Length: 81 items

Norms: English ages 7-17

Administration Time: 10 - 15 minutes

Scoring Options: Hand-scoring with overlay keys

Thank you for completing it :) I am planning to publish my results here and possibly the published paper as well (however that takes time). If any of you need survey participants in the future, please contact me to return the favour :)

Here is a meta analysis of the BDI-II  Huang, C., & Chen, J. (2015). Meta-Analysis of the Factor Structures of the Beck Depression Inventory–II. Assessment, 22(4), 459. doi:10.1177/1073191114548873

Thank you! I will look at this,

TCI is gold standard for assessing temperament and charater triats as persistance but in order to evaluating openness as a personality construct, l suggest NEO-PR short form. It doesn't need full scale of NEO for your project.

The attached article describes this problem well, as sexual abuse by doctors is an international problem, though my focus is primarily the national occurrence of this behavior.

Hi, I would suggest that you use the lower level of analysis of the 30 Big 5 facets, because your question is very specific and the Big 5 domains too broad...have a look at the IPIP page for definitions and descriptions of the 30 facets and then you will have some ideas about which could be probable predictors...

I quite agree with Stephen Benning that raw scores, in and of themselves, are meaningless in this situation. If the instrument you are using lacks adequate published norms (as may well be the case here), then you have two main options.

First, you can limit yourself to correlational analyses. In most cases, this will work fine. All you lose by not using standard scores is that the scores you are using may violate one or another of the assumptions we like to make before using parametric statistics. For example, the equal interval assumption may not hold. But as long as the violations aren't too egregious, it probably won't make a substantial difference to your results - statistics like the correlation coefficient are robust in the face of modest deviations. (If you're really worried about your data set, you could convert the scores to rank-order format and use Spearman's rho instead of Pearson's r (the formulas yield the same results, so you could just plug the rank-ordered data into a regular correlation program.)

Second, you can divide your own sample into high-scoring and low-scoring subgroups. One way of doing this is a median split: top 50% vs. bottom 50%. This retains all your cases, but some members of each group will be a lot like some members of the other. Alternatively, you could leave those in the middle out of these analyses and create "upper" and "lower" groups that are separated by some range of middle scores. In the educational testing literature, the usual rule is to compare the top 27% to the bottom 27%, but anything approximating this will probably work fine.

If you are planning to keep using the instrument in the same population for a while, you might consider developing your own local norms, as Goldberg suggests.
