The Five-Factor Personality Inventory III

(Hendriks, Hofstee, De Raad, & Brokken, 2019)

The FFPI-III is an open-access questionnaire, consisting of 100 questions about how someone is as a person. For example:

Answering the questions takes approximately 15 minutes. The responses are processed into a personality profile on the trait factors Extraversion, Mildness, Orderliness, Emotional Stability and Autonomy, and a summarizing characterization. You can find the meaning of these trait factors here.

In the report (which you can download), the profile is set alongside the average self-report of the (Dutch) adult.

There are three possibilities:

• This online version serves primarily to record the averaged view by others of you as a person, on the basis of the proposition ‘if you want to know what you are like, ask a number of others’.
  First, ask three others who know you well if they are willing to fill out an online questionnaire about you as a person. Only the mean of their responses will be reported to you, not their individual responses.
  After you have entered the three e-mail addresses of the others, the program will ask you for your self-assessment, for the purpose of comparison.
  Go here to the questionnaire after you have asked the three others, and have their e-mail addresses at hand.
• Do a self-assessment only. Go here to the questionnaire.
• Sketch an ideal profile of a functionary, a partner, and the like. Go here to the questionnaire.
