Abstract<\/p>\n

When time is limited, researchers may be faced with the choice of using an extremely brief measure of the Big-Five personality dimensions or using no measure at all. To meet the need for a very brief measure, 5 and 10-item inventories were developed and evaluated. Although somewhat inferior to standard multi-item instruments, the instruments reached adequate levels in terms of (a) convergence with widely used Big-Five measures in self, observer, and peer reports, (b) test-retest reliability, (c) patterns of predicted external correlates, and (d) convergence between self and observer ratings. On the basis of these tests, a 10-item measure of the Big Five dimensions is offered for situations when very short measures are needed, personality is not the primary topic of interest, or researchers can tolerate the somewhat diminished psychometric properties associated with very brief measures.<\/p>\n

Scoring the TIPI<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Recode the reverse-scored items (i.e., recode a 7 with a 1, a 6 with a 2, a 5 with a 3, etc.). The reverse scored items are 2, 4, 6, 8, & 10.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Take the\u00a0AVERAGE\u00a0of the two items (the standard item and the recoded reverse-scored item) that make up each scale.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Example using the Extraversion scale: A participant has scores of 5 on item 1 (Extraverted, enthusiastic) and and 2 on item 6 (Reserved, quiet). First, recode the reverse-scored item (i.e., item 6), replacing the 2 with a 6. Second, take the average of the score for item 1 and the (recoded) score for item 6. So the TIPI Extraversion scale score would be: (5 + 6)\/2 = 5.5<\/strong><\/p>\n

LOOKING FOR A QUICK WAY TO COMPUTE AND DISPLAY TIPI SCORES?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daniel DeNeui<\/a>\u00a0has created an excel spreadsheet, which computes your scores and plots them alongside the norms we have published. Click\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0to get a copy of the spreadsheet. If you have any questions about the spreadsheet please contact\u00a0Dr. DeNeui<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Justin Cheng<\/a>\u00a0has created an spss syntax file to compute the scores. Click\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0to get a copy. If you have any questions about it, please contact\u00a0Justin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Comparisons with other very brief Big Five scales<\/strong><\/p>\n

In response to the need for very brief measures of the Big Five, a couple of other measures have been developed in addition to the TIPI. These include the Single-Item Measure of Personality (SIMP;\u00a0Wood & Hampson, 2005<\/a>) and another 10-item measure (Rammstedt & John, 2007<\/a>). In my own (unpublished) analyses all three instruments perform about equally well in terms of convergence with the NEO-PI-R assessed several weeks later. Moreover, all three instruments take about the same length of time to complete (because the 5 items of the SIMP are longer and more complex than than the items in the 10-item tests). The one published analysis (Furnham, 2008<\/a>) that compared several very brief measures suggested that the TIPI “achieves slightly better validity than the other measures.”<\/p>\n

Translations<\/strong><\/p>\n

These translations have been provided by their developers for research use. I have included them here as a resource for researchers but their inclusion does not imply that I endorse them. They differ in the procedures used to develop them and the degree to which they have been validated. I did not develop them and have not used them in my own research so I cannot evaluate them.\u00a0 For further details on the instruments, please contact their authors. As far as I know, you are free to use these translations but as a courtesy I encourage you to contact the contact persons listed below before doing so.<\/p>\n
