Abstract The aim of this study was to revise the Criticism Avoidance dimension of the Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory and to investigate its psychometric properties. The participants included 213 subjects aged 18 to 69 years (Mean = 25.56; Standard Deviation = 8.70), mostly females (N = 159; 74.3%). All participants answered the Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory and the Brazilian versions of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory and the Personality Inventory for DSM-5. A total of 470 new items were developed and selected using content analysis, and 39 items composed the final version. Based on the parallel analysis and factor analysis, three interpretable factors were found. The internal consistency coefficients showed adequate levels of reliability ranging between 0.80 and 0.91 for the factors. Additionally, expected correlations were found between the Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory and the other tests. The present study demonstrated the adequacy of the dimension revised to assess pathological characteristics of the avoidant personality functioning.

Narcissistic Personality

Abstract Introduction: Personality disorders are among the most common disorders seen in clinical psychology. However, in Brazil there are few instruments for assessing the pathological characteristics of personality. Objective: To revise the grandiosity dimension of the Brazilian Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory (Inventário Dimensional Clínico da Personalidade [IDCP]) and investigate its psychometric properties. Methods: A total of 225 people participated in this study. Their ages ranged from 18 to 66 years (mean [M] = 26.2, standard deviation [SD] = 8.1) and the majority were female (n = 162, 70.1%). The IDCP and the Brazilian versions of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R) and the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) were administered to all participants. Results: A total of 285 new items were developed and content analysis was used to select 33 of these to comprise the final version destined for administration. The results of parallel analysis and factor analysis identified four interpretable factors. Internal consistency coefficients were deemed acceptable and varied from 0.73 to 0.84 for the factors. Additionally, the expected correlations between the IDCP Inventory and the other tests were observed. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the revised dimension's suitability for assessment of the pathological traits of narcissistic personality disorder.

Two studies of the Revised NEO‐Personality Inventory (NEO‐PI‐R) conducted on two different applicant samples (one consisting of 539 female subjects and the other consisting of 396 male subjects) are reported. Factor analysis of the female sample yielded a five‐factor solution, highly congruent with the factors presented by Costa, McCrae and Dye (1991). Results of the male data were less clear‐cut, yielding four to five factors which were moderately congruent with the American data. The combined male and female sample showed again high congruence coefficients. Various minor deviations in the location of the facet variables are discussed.

Abstract Background: The Personality Inventory for DSM-5 Brief Form (PID-5-BF) is a 25-item measuring tool evaluating maladaptive personality traits for the diagnosis of personality disorders(PDs). As a promising scale, its impressive psychometric properties have been verified in some countries, however, there have no studies about the utility of PID-5-BF in Chinese settings. The current study aimed to explore the maladaptive personality factor model which was culturally adapted in China and examine psychometric properties of the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 Brief Form among Chinese undergraduate students and clinical patients.Methods: 7155 undergraduate students and 451 clinical patients completed the Chinese version of PID-5-BF. 228 students were chosen randomly for test-retest reliability at a 4-week interval. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted to discover the most suitable construct in Chinese, measurement invariance(MI), internal consistency, and external validity were also calculated.Results: An exploratory six-factor model was supported more suitable in both samples(Undergraduate sample: CFI = 0.905, TLI = 0.888, RMSEA = 0.044, SRMR = 0.039; Clinical sample: CFI = 0.904, TLI = 0.886, RMSEA = 0.047, SRMR = 0.060), adding a new factor“Interpersonal Relationships”. Measurement invariance across non-clinical and clinical sample was established (configural, weak, strong MI, and partial strict MI). Aside from acceptable internal consistency (Undergraduate sample: alpha=0.84, MIC=0.21; Clinical sample: alpha=0.86, MIC=0.19) and test-retest reliability(0.73), the association with 220-item PID-5 was significant(r = 0.93, p < 0.01), and six PDs measured by Personality diagnostic questionnaire-4+ (PDQ-4+) were correlated with expected domains of PID-5-BF.Conclusions: The PID-5-BF is a convenient and useful screening tool for personality disorders with a novel six-factor model in Chinese settings, with the main difference for the Negative Affect domain.

484 Ss were administered 10 pairs of polygons, 10 pairs of designs, and 10 pairs of drawings from the Maitland-Graves Design Judgment Test, with instructions to indicate which of each pair they preferred. Pairs were constructed in each case by selection from larger numbers of items, in such a way that one was considered aesthetically superior to the other by a majority of judges; in this way a “correct” choice was established. Also administered were personality inventory items purporting to measure extraversion and neuroticism; the age, educational status and salary of each participant were noted. Factor analysis was performed on the intercorrelations between these various items, and relatively independent factors representing E, N, and the different aesthetic tests were found; there was no evidence that the polygon, design, and drawing tests were correlated with each other or associated with personality.

Background: Our objective was to compare personality traitsbetween urologists and other surgeons, as well as between surgeonsand non-surgeons.Methods: Eighty-six surgeons (57 faculty, 29 residents) completedthe Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R), a validatedmeasure of normal personality traits. Subjects agree or disagreewith 240 statements to generate a score in each of the 5 major charactertraits: extraversion (E), openness (O), conscientiousness (C),agreeableness (A) and neuroticism (N). Each factor is subdividedinto 6 component facets. Scores for urology faculty and residentswere compared to the other surgical groups and 21 pediatricians.Results: The 3 groups differed significantly on extraversion(p < 0.001). Post-hoc analyses indicated that urologists obtainedsignificantly higher extraversion scores than other surgeons(p < 0.05) and non-surgeons (p < 0.001) Other surgeons also scoredsignificantly higher than non-surgeons on the extraversion factor(p < 0.05). No significant differences emerged on openness, conscientiousness,agreeableness or neuroticism. Of the 6 extraversionfacets, urologists obtained significantly higher scores on gregariousnessand excitement-seeking (p < 0.05) than non-urologist surgeons,and significantly higher scores on gregariousness (p < 0.05),activity (p < 0.01), excitement seeking (p < 0.001), and positiveemotions (p < 0.05) than non-surgeons. Non-urologist surgeonsobtained significantly higher scores than non-surgeons on Activityand Excitement-seeking (p < 0.01).There were no significant differencesin the facets of warmth or assertiveness.Interpretation: Urologists appear to be more extraverted comparedto other surgeons. Both groups of surgeons were more extravertedthan non-surgeons. If these findings can be confirmed on a widerbasis, the data may be helpful in resident selection, mentoring,evaluation and career counselling.Contexte : Notre objectif était de comparer des urologues à d’autreschirurgiens, ainsi que des chirurgiens avec des médecins nonchirurgiens, sur le plan de certains traits de personnalité.Méthodologie : Quatre-vingt-six chirurgiens (57 membres du personneluniversitaire, 29 résidents) ont rempli le questionnaire NEOPI-R (Revised NEO Personality Inventory), un instrument validé demesure de traits normaux de la personnalité. Les sujets doiventindiquer leur accord ou désaccord avec 240 énoncés et obtiennentainsi un score pour chacun des 5 principaux traits de personnalité: extraversion (E), ouverture (O), caractère consciencieux(C), personnalité agréable (A) et névrosisme (N). Chaque facteurest sous-divisé en 6 facettes. Les scores pour les urologues et lesrésidents ont été comparés à ceux d’autres groupes de chirurgienset à ceux de 21 pédiatres.Résultats : Les 3 groupes différaient de façon significative sur leplan de l’extraversion (p < 0,001). Les analyses ultérieures ontindiqué que les urologues avaient obtenu des scores significativementplus élevés sur le plan de l’extraversion que les autreschirurgiens (p < 0,05) et les médecins non-chirurgiens (p < 0,001).Les autres chirurgiens ont aussi obtenu des scores significativementplus élevés que les non-chirurgiens pour l’extraversion (p < 0,05).Aucune différence significative n’est ressortie quant à l’ouverture,au caractère consciencieux, à la personnalité agréable ou au névrosisme.Sur les 6 facettes de l’extraversion, les urologues ont obtenudes scores significativement plus élevés pour l’instinct grégaire etla recherche de stimulation (p < 0,05) par rapport aux chirurgiensnon-urologues, et des scores significativement plus élevés pourl’instinct grégaire (p < 0,05), le niveau d’activité (p < 0,01), larecherche de stimulation (p < 0,001), et les émotions positives(p < 0,05) par rapport aux médecins non-chirurgiens. Les chirurgiensnon-urologues ont obtenu des scores significativement plusélevés que les médecins non-chirurgiens quant au niveau d’activitéet à la recherche de stimulation (p < 0,01). On n’a noté aucunedifférence significative pour les facettes de la personnalité chaleureuseou de l’affirmation de soi.Interprétation : Il semble que les urologues soient plus extravertisque les autres chirurgiens. Les deux groupes de chirurgiens étaientplus extravertis que les non-chirurgiens. Si ces résultats sont confirmésdans un échantillon plus important, les données pourraient aider à la sélection des résidents, au mentorat, à l’évaluation et au counselling professionnel.

Abstract Background In DSM-5, a number of “emerging measures” are included for further research and clinical evaluation. These patient assessment measures were developed to be administered at the initial patient interview and to monitor treatment progress. One of these instruments is the Clinician-Rated Dimensions of Psychosis Symptom Severity (CRDPSS). Using this instrument, a clinician can rate the severity of eight symptom dimensions of psychotic disorders. The psychometric properties and the applicability of the instrument in clinical practice have not yet been investigated. The current study aims to investigate the internal consistency, factor structure and external validity with other assessment instruments. Methods The CRDPSS measures eight symptom dimensions, namely Hallucinations, Delusions, Disorganized speech, Abnormal psychomotor behavior, Negative Symptoms, Impaired Cognition, Depression and Mania. Items are scored on a five-point scale ranging from “Not present” to “Present and Severe”. This interview has been applied in the Psychosis Recent Onset GRoningen Survey (PROGR-S), a diagnostic protocol for patients with a suspected recent-onset psychotic disorder (n = 164 in the current analysis). Besides the CRDPSS, scores on the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Health of Nations Outcome Measure (HoNOS), the Mongomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), Cambridge Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) and mini-Structural Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (mini-SCAN) were used for current analyses. The Crohnbach Alpha was calculated to investigate internal consistency, exploratory factor analysis was applied, and the convergent validity was investigated by calculating non-parametric correlations of the CRDPSS with similar items or subscales of the other instruments. Results The Cronbach’s alpha of the CRDPSS was 0.36, indicating low internal consistency. Factor analysis resulted in three Factors: 1. Delusions/Mania, 2. Abnormal psychomotor behavior/Negative Symptoms/Impaired cognition, 3. Hallucinations/Depression. For hallucinations, Delusions, and Depression a Kendall’s tau of 0.35 – 0.45 was observed with the other instrument scores and for Impaired cognition tau = 0.6, indicating a weak to moderate association. Negative symptoms resulted in tau &lt; 0.2 and for the other instruments tau &lt; 0.1, but in these cases the measure of the other instruments was of questionable quality. Discussion The internal consistency of the CRDPSS was poor and factor analysis resulted in factors that differed to some extent from previous findings. Moreover, the convergent validity with other instruments was poor to moderate. In conclusion, based on first analyses the reliability and clinical applicability of the CRDPSS appears limited. Future studies should investigate inter-rater reliability, test-retest reliability, use more optimal measures to investigate convergent validity and use larger samples.

The Section III on Emerging Measures and Models included in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, introduces a hybrid alternative approach, dimensional-categorical, to diagnose personality disorders. The Criterion A establishes the assessment of the impairment in personality functioning in terms of two dimensions: self and interpersonal. The present study was aimed at developing a short scale to measure both dimensions. The sample was composed of 342 adults from Buenos Aires city and its outskirts, with ages ranging from 19 to 82 years old (M = 39.90, SD = 13.75). Data were gathered using the Personality Functioning Scale, developed in this study, as well as the Personality Inventory for DSM‐5 Brief Form, the Mental Health Continuum Short Form, and the Symptom Check List-27. A principal components analysis conducted on 28 items found 2 factors, interpersonal and self. Internal consistency, estimated by ordinal Alphas, achieved values between .92 and .86 whilst Cronbach’s Alphas were .88 and .87. Significant and positive correlations between the Personality Functioning Scale scores on the one hand, and the Personality Inventory for DSM‐5 Brief Form scores and the Symptom Check List-27 score on the other, were found. Negative correlations between PFS scores and the Mental Health Continuum Short Form were calculated. As a result, a short scale with adequate psychometric features, suitable to assess Criterion A in adult Argentinian population has been developed.

Neo Personality Inventory Revised

Abstract. We examined the joint factor structure of the 30 facets of the NEO Personality Inventory – Revised (NEO-PI-R; or the NEO-PI-3) with either (a) the 25 facets of the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) or (b) the 15 facets of the Schedule for Nonadaptive and Adaptive Personality (SNAP) plus several dissociation scales, using self-reports from participant samples of previous research. The NEO-PI-R[3]/PID-5 variable set produced seven factors that represented the HEXACO factor space plus a “psychoticism” dimension. The NEO-PI-R/SNAP/dissociation variable set produced a similar set of seven factors. The results indicate that even some questionnaire variable sets not constructed to measure the HEXACO factors can recover those personality dimensions. Researchers interested in integrating the domains of normal and abnormal personality are advised to adopt a model consisting of six HEXACO-like dimensions plus a dimension of psychotic tendency.

Revised Neo Personality Inventory

Preemployment psychological evaluation utilizing personality inventories is common in law enforcement settings. The Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R), developed from the five-factor theory of normal personality functioning, has proven useful in personnel selection. This study examined the predictive validity of NEO PI-R facet scales for predicting academic, firearms, physical, and disciplinary elements of police academy performance, as well as academy graduation. Results indicated that recruits higher in Values and lower in Excitement-Seeking did better academically, those lower in Anxiety did better at firearms, and those lower in Deliberation and Fantasy and higher in Activity did better in physical training. In a logistic regression analysis, Excitement-Seeking, Ideas, and Values predicted disciplinary memos, whereas Self-Consciousness, Altruism, Feelings, Order, Positive Emotions, and Vulnerability predicted absenteeism. Vulnerability to stress was the sole multivariate predictor of graduation. The use of the NEO PI-R as a selection instrument for police officers appears promising.
