FFPI-C: Five-Factor Personality Inventory — children
|
The FFPI-C: Five-Factor Personality Inventory — children is a
standardized,
norm-referenced
self-report inventory designed to measure personality traits
and
dispositions in children and adolescents, as well as adults. It was normed
on a representative sample of 1,284 individuals, ranging in age
from 9 years 0 months and 18 years 11 months, residing in 16 different
states.
It is based on a modern five-factor personality theory, which concludes
that five broad factors account for the majority of variance in the
personality descriptors.
1. Agreeableness — Subfacets include Trust, Straightforwardness,
Altruism, Compliance, Modesty, and Tendermindedness
2. Extraversion — Subfacets include Warmth, Gregariousness,
Assertiveness, Activity, Excitement Seeking, and Positive Emotions
3. Openness to Experience — Subfacets include Fantasy, Aesthetics,
Feelings, Actions, Ideas, and Values
4. Conscientiousness — Subfacets include Competence, Order, Dutifulness,
Achievement Striving, Self-Discipline, Deliberation
5. Emotional Regulation — Subfacets include Anxiety, Angry Hostility,
Depression, Self-consciousness, Impulsiveness, and Vulnerability
The FFPI-C, established across many cultures and languages, has two
primary uses:
1. It is an efficient method of identifying, evaluating, and describing
social adjustment and academic performance difficulties in children and
adolescents.
2. It is a valid and reliable research tool for all types of personality
traits or dispositions,
yielding confident statistical results.
Mental health professionals or researchers studying child and adolescent
personality can
use it. The inventory can be self-, individually-, or group-administered
by any professional with psychological and personality assessment
experience. Total completion time, including instructions, is between 15
to 40 minutes. It yields raw scores, T-scores, and percentiles.
The test contains 75 items, each of which has two opposing anchor
statements. Respondents are to choose the statement that best represents
their opinion
and then make a qualitative decision on the degree of
support for their choice
by filing in one of five circles.
