from wikipedia The internal consistency of the NEO scales was assessed on 1,539 individuals (McCrae & Costa,2010). The internal consistency of the NEO PI-R was high, at: N = .92, E = .89, O = .87, A = .86, C = .90. The internal consistency of the facet scales ranged from .56 to .81. The internal consistency of the NEO PI-3 was consistent with that of the NEO PI-R, with α ranging from .89 to .93 for the five domains. Internal consistency coefficient from the facets, with each facet scale comprising fewer items than each of the Big Five scales, were necessarily smaller, ranging from .54 to .83 (McCrae & Costa,2010).

The Personality Organization Diagnostic Form-II (PODF-II), 2001), the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (Costa and McCrae, Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) and NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) Professional Manual. 1992a), and the Health-Sickness Rating Scale (Luborsky, Arch Gen Psychiatry. 1962;7:407-417) were used to assess these constructs. The NEO Five-Factor Inventory-3: Four-Factor Version (NEO-FFI-3:4FV) The NEO-FFI-3:4FV provides information on four personality domains: Extraversion, Openness to Experience, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness.

Sep 01, 2004 Abstract. The lexically based Five-Factor Personality Inventory (FFPI) was correlated with the factors and facets of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) in Belgian (N = 265), American (N = 116), and Hungarian (N = 320) samples. Results were similar across the three cultures. NEO Personality Personality Inventory 3 (UK Edition) The NEO PI-R, the gold-standard questionnaire measure of the Five Factor Model (FFM), provides a detailed personality description that can be a valuable resource for a variety of professionals.

The NEO has been translated into many languages. The internal consistency coefficients of the domain scores of a translation of the NEO that has been used in the Philippines are satisfactory. The alphas for the domain scores range from .78 to .90 (Church & Katigbak, 2002), with facet alphas having a median of .61 (Katigbak et al. 2002). Observer-ratings NEO PI-R data from 49 different cultures was used as criterion in a recent study which tested whether individuals’ perceptions of the “national character” of a culture accurately reflected the personality of the members of that culture (it did not) (Terracciano et al. 2005).

The test-retest reliability of the NEO PI-R has also been found to be satisfactory. The test-retest reliability of an early version of the NEO after 3 months was: N = .87, E = .91, O = .86 (McCrae & Costa, 1983). The test-retest reliability for over 6 years, as reported in the NEO PI-R manual, was the following: N = .83, E = .82, O = .83, A = .63, C = .79. Costa and McCrae pointed out that these findings not only demonstrate good reliability of the domain scores, but also their stability (among individuals over the age of 30). Scores measured six years apart varied only marginally more than scores measured a few months apart (Costa & McCrae, 1992).

The psychometric properties of NEO PI-R scales have been found to generalize across ages, cultures, and methods of measurement(McCrae et al. 2011).

What is the NEO Five-Factor Inventory-3?

The NEO Five-Factor Inventory-3 (NEO-FFI-3), is the updated version of the NEO-FFI — a 60-item version of the NEO-PI-3. It provides a quick, reliable, and accurate measure of the five domains of personality and is particularly useful when time is limited and when global information on personality is needed.

Why Should I Use the NEO-FFI-3?

USEFUL. The NEO-FFI-3 can help you understand your client’s basic emotional, interpersonal, experiential, attitudinal, and motivational styles. It can also help you quickly develop rapport with your client, provide meaningful feedback and insight that will help your client develop greater self-understanding, enable you to anticipate the course of therapy, and help you select the optimal treatment or program based on your client’s personality.

UPDATED.Fifteen NEO-FFI items have been replaced to improve readability and psychometric properties. This revision combined with new norms makes the test appropriate for respondents 12 years and older.
