Brief Bipolar Markers for the Five Factor Model of Personality

The initial development of a brief 30-item bipolar rating scale designed to measure the Five Factor Model of personality is presented. This scale assesses Factor V as a variant of Openness rather than Intellect. Factor analyses across five samples (Total N = 898) indicated that the trait-term pairs used to construct the scales exhibited relatively high univocal factor loadings (M = .62, SD=.13) and acceptable values of internal consistency (M α=.79, SD= 07)
