5 Big Five : Development No prior theory of personality The Adjective Check List (Gough & Heilbrun, 1983) List words (300) that describe temperament Ask volunteers to rate people they know on these words Construct correlations Analyze for patterns of correlation (factor analysis) Established five factors the Big Five Has since been replicated many times

6 Development of the NEO PI-R Confirm the structure of the Big Five Extend this structure by drilling down Construct a questionnaire to assess against this easily

7 NEO PI-R The Revised Version of the NEO Personality Inventory Paul T Costa & Robert R McCrae Five domains (the Big Five); six facets per domain 240 items: eight per facet No measure dependent on just one item Four items positively keyed; four negatively No hidden scales eg to check for haphazard responses

14 Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Katherine Briggs & Isabel Briggs Myers Based on theories of Carl Gustav Jung Key Concept: Preference

15 MBTI Four Preference Dichotomies Extraversion vs Introversion Where do you prefer to focus your attention? Sensing vs INtuition How do you prefer to take in information? Thinking vs Feeling How do you make decisions? Judging vs Perceiving How do you deal with the outer world?

16 The E-I Dichotomy Extraversion Like variety & action Enjoy interacting with people Develop their ideas through discussion Learn by talking & doing Interested in how other people do things Introversion Like quiet for concentration Enjoy focussing on a task Develop their ideas internally Learn by reading and reflecting Enjoy working alone without interruptions

17 The S-N Dichotomy Sensing Focus on immediate issues Provide a realistic & practical perspective Like to perfect standard ways of doing things Build to conclusions by collecting facts Draw on their own & others experience Intuition Follow their inspirations Provide connections & meanings Like solving new, complex problems Start with the big picture, fill in the facts Prefer change, new ways of doing things

18 The T-F Dichotomy Thinking Focus on the tasks Use logical analysis to understand & decide Want mutual respect and fairness Are firm-minded, can give criticism when appropriate Apply principles consistently Feeling Focus on people s interactions Use values to understand & decide Want harmony & support Are empathetic, prefer to accommodate to reach consensus Apply values consistently

19 The J-P Dichotomy Judging Want to plan their work and follow their plan Like to get things settled and finished Feel supported by structure and schedules Reach conclusions by deciding quickly Focus on timely completion of work Perceiving Want to have flexibility in their work Like to be spontaneous Feel restricted by structure and schedules Leave things open as long as possible Focus on enjoying the process

22 Interpreting the Questionnaires You are saying something about yourself Using the framework built into the questionnaire Which is also designed to catch you off guard The results compare you with others and, for the NEO PI-R The scores are converted to T-Scores ie with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10
