The five-factor model (FFM) is currently the predominant model in trait psychology. To meet the need for an extremely brief measure of the FFM, Gosling, Rentfrow, and Swann (2003) developed the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI), which can be admin- istered in about a minute. Here we describe the development and construct validation of a German version of the TIPI (the TIPI-G). Using a multijudge (self and peer), multiinstrument (TIPI-G and the German version of the NEO-PI-R) design, we evaluated the TIPI-G in terms of internal consistency, factor structure, convergent and discriminant validity, and coverage of the NEO-PI-R facets. Together the analyses suggest that the 10 unipolar items of the TIPI-G can provide an efficient approximation for longer measures of the FFM personality constructs. As such, the TIPI-G is recommended for research where time is limited, where the primary theoretical focus is on other constructs, or where it is desirable to reduce the testing burden on participants.

Is short in length short in content? An examination of the domain representation of the Ten Item Personality Inventory scales in Dutch language (2008, methodology): “To this day, the TIPI has been used in a series of studies and various translations are available, although to our knowledge only a German version ( Muck, Hell, & Gosling, 2007 ) and a German adaption of the TIPI (Herzberg & Brahler, 2006) have been validated.”
How personality and policy predict pandemic behavior: Understanding sheltering-in-place in 55 countries at the onset of COVID-19. (2020, methodology): “…of the study, and performs reasonably well in terms of test–retest reliability, self-other convergence, factor structure, predictive validity, and correlations with other Big Five instruments (Donnellan, Oswald, Baird, & Lucas, 2006; Ehrhart et al., 2009; Gosling et al., 2003; Muck et al., 2007).”
Psychometric Properties of a Revised Version of the Ten Item Personality Inventory (2015, background): “Other adaptations of the TIPI found adequate convergence between self- and peer-ratings (Muck et al., 2007, Romero et al., 2012).”
The hidden face of job insecurity (2017, methodology): “We included the scales derived from the short-form version of these scales, designed and validated for use where interview time was scarce in large-scale surveys (Gosling et al., 2003; Muck et al., 2007).”
