The Adaptation of the Big-Five IPIP-50 Questionnaire in Romania revisited

Abstract

Besides the proprietary questionnaires that asses the five traits of the Big Five Model, which are worldwide available, there is also an international scientific collaborative public domain project that developed the IPIP-50 questionnaire that measures the five traits of the model. IPIP-50 has been translated and validated in Romania. The study had some methodological limitations but the instrument appeared psychometrically sound. Thus, we conducted two studies for the improvement of the Romanian IPIP-50, in which the translation has tested, psychometric properties of Romanian IPIP-50 were further tested and we replicated to a large degree some of the findings of the previous study of Romanian IPIP-50 adaptation.
