Brief measures of individual differences are growing in popularity. The Ten Item Personality Inventory (TIPI; Gosling et al., 2003) increases administration efficiency and maintains construct validity, but sacrifices some internal consistency when measuring the Big Five personality traits. In a survey of 360 college students, we attempted to replicate and extend the construct validity of the TIPI by relating it to sociosexuality and self-esteem. We replicated some of the most well documented Big Five correlations: Self-esteem was negatively correlated with neuroticism and positively with extraversion; sociosexuality was positively correlated with extraversion and negatively with agreeableness. Results suggest the TIPI measure is reasonably valid. © 2011 Individual Differences Association, Inc.

Abstract
Brief measures of individual differences are growing in popularity. The Ten Item Personality Inventory (TIPI; Gosling et al., 2003) increases administration efficiency and maintains construct validity, but sacrifices some internal consistency when measuring the Big Five personality traits. In a survey of 360 college students, we attempted to replicate and extend the construct validity of the TIPI by relating it to sociosexuality and self-esteem. We replicated some of the most well documented Big Five correlations: Self-esteem was negatively correlated with neuroticism and positively with extraversion; sociosexuality was positively correlated with extraversion and negatively with agreeableness. Results suggest the TIPI measure is reasonably valid. © 2011 Individual Differences Association, Inc.Pubblicazioni consigliate
