25 Personality items representing 5 factors

Description

25 personality self report items taken from the International Personality Item Pool (ipip.ori.org) were included as part of the Synthetic Aperture Personality Assessment (SAPA) web based personality assessment project. In contrast to the original data bfi from the library psych (version 1.8.12) it contains only the 25 personality self report items and the 2436 complete observations.

as part of the Synthetic Apeture Personality Assessment (SAPA https://www.sapa-project.org/) project. To see an example of the data collection technique, visit https://www.sapa-project.org/ or the International Cognitive Ability Resource at https://icar-project.com/. The items given were sampled from the International Personality Item Pool of Lewis Goldberg using the sampling technique of SAPA. This is a sample data set taken from the much larger SAPA data bank.

Note

The bfi.2 data set and items should not be confused with the BFI (Big Five Inventory) of Oliver John and colleagues (John, O. P., Donahue, E. M., & Kentle, R. L. (1991). The Big Five Inventory–Versions 4a and 54. Berkeley, CA: University of California,Berkeley, Institute of Personality and Social Research.)

The items are from the ipip (Goldberg, 1999). The data are from the SAPA project (Revelle, Wilt and Rosenthal, 2010), collected Spring, 2010 ( https://www.sapa-project.org/).
