Purpose: Obtain a quick assessment of general personality in adolescents and adults

Age Range: 12 to 99 years

Admin: Individual or group 

Time: 10-15 minutes

 

The NEO-FFI-3, a revision of the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI™), is a 60-item version of the NEO-PI-3 that provides a quick, reliable, and accurate measure of the five domains of personality (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness). All items on the NEO-FFI-3 were taken directly from the NEO-PI-3. It is especially useful when time is limited and global information on personality is considered sufficient. The NEO-FFI can help you understand an individual's basic emotional, interpersonal, experiential, attitudinal, and motivational styles.

Fifteen of the 60 NEO-FFI items have been replaced to improve readability and psychometric properties. This revision is appropriate for respondents ages 12 years and older, with new norms provided in the Professional Manual. Self-report (Form S) and observer rating (Form R) forms are available. Administration takes as little as 10-15 minutes; calculation of raw scores takes only 1-2 minutes.

• The NEO-FFI-3 includes a downward extension to age 12, making it appropriate for use with adolescents.
