Chiorri, C., Ubbiali, A., & Donati, D. (2008). Can personality traits be reliably assessed with short measures? An Italian study on the shortened
version of the Big Five Inventory-44. Talk given at the 39th International Meeting of the Society for Research in Psychotherapy, Barcelona, Spain,
18-21 June.
Importance of personality
assessment
Personality often moderates treatment response
Personality traits are an important add-on in clinical
assessment
The use of personality measures in clinical practice is
often limited by the long administration time (e.g.,
NEO-PI-R)
Generally found across cultures (Hofstee et al., 1997)
Has strong predictive validity (Ozer & Benet-Martinez,
2006; Paunonen, 2003)
Good interrater agreement (McCrae & Costa, 1987)
Hereditability (Bouchard et al., 1996)
Children as early as in middle childhood can be
characterized by them (Asendorpf & van Aken, 2003)
The Big Five Model
Big Five Measures
1-item dimensions (Gosling et al. 2003)
2-item dimensions (TIPI, Gosling et al. 2003; BFI-10,
Rammstedt & John, 2007)
7/9-item dimensions (BFI-44, John et al., 1991;
BFMM, Saucier, 1994)
2-facet/12-item dimensions (BFQ, Caprara et al.,
1993)
20-item dimensions (FFPI, Hendriks et al., 1999)
6-facet/8-item dimensions (NEO-PI-R, Costa &
McCrae, 1992)

Big Five Inventory (BFI-44)John et al., 1991
Freely available and widely used in Internet assessment
(e.g., Srivastava et al., 2003)
Aims at measuring the Big Five dimensions using as
few items as possible while achieving adequate levels of
reliability
Good internal consistency (M α = .83)Good convergent validity with corresponding scales of
Goldberg’s (1992) adjectives and Costa and McCrae’s
(1992) NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO–FFI)
Already adapted into Spanish (Benet-Martinez & John,
1998), German (Lang et al., 2001) and Dutch (Denissen
et al., 2008)

Descriptives
All item means fell in the 2 to 4 range, except:
Item 3: Does a thorough job (C)
Item 7: Is helpful and unselfish with others (A)
Item 10: Is curious about many different things (O)*
Item 12: Starts quarrels with others (A)
Item 13: Is a reliable worker (C)*
Few other items a little bit kurtotic (max -1.24)
SD range was 0.84 – 1.37 → restriction of range was not a problem
* Same as in Dutch validation (Denissen et al., 2008)

FIML Estimation
Invariance of the factor structure based on responses to all 44 items in the BFI in
one random subsample (S1) with that based on the 10 items in the BFI-10 for the
other random subsample (S2)
Responses to the remaining 34 unselected items were considered as missing in S2
Invariance constraints were tested for the10 FLs and 10 uniquenesses for items
common to both the BFI-44 and the BFI-10 and for the entire factor variance–
covariance matrix
The 34 factor loadings and 34 uniquenesses for unselected items that only appear
in BFI-44 were freely estimated

Conclusions
Italian BFI-44 showed adequate levels of internal consistency,
factorial and external validity, consistent with the psychometric
properties of the English original
High levels of cross-cultural applicability
When the 10 items of the BFI-10 are considered, psychometric
properties appear to be acceptable, even if there were
substantial losses in comparison to the full-scale BFI-44
