Preservice Biology Teachers’ Professional Knowledge: Structure and Learning Opportunities (2015, background): “…in these courses filled in a short questionnaire on background variables [high school GPA, big five personality traits, i.e., agreeableness, conscientiousness, extraversion, openness, and neuroticism (Herzberg & Brähler, 2006), certainty with becoming a teacher, and financial situation].”
Psychometric Properties of a Revised Version of the Ten Item Personality Inventory (2015, background): “In a previous adaptation study of the TIPI, Muck et al. (2007) pointed out how the shortcomings of a first German version of the TIPI (Herzberg & Brähler, 2006) could be the result of the particular translation of the TIPI rather than of the TIPI itself.”
Differences and Similarities between Impulse Buying and Variety Seeking: A Personality‐based Perspective (2016, background): “TIPI has been validated (e.g., Herzberg & Brähler, 2006) against more comprehensive scales (e.g., BFI, John & Srivastava, 1999; NEO-FFI, Costa & McCrae, 1992) and provides good convergent validity, test-retest reliability, and patterns of predicted external correlates (predictive validity).”
The ‘Short Five’ (S5): Measuring Personality Traits Using Comprehensive Single Items (2012, background): “Short scales have been claimed to be more susceptible to response style effects than long ones (e.g. Herzberg & Brähler, 2006; McCrae & Costa, 2007).”
Construct Validation of a short Five-Factor Model Instrument: A Self-Peer Study on the German Adaptation of the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI-G). (2007, unknown): “The results of the current research seem to contradict results recently published in this journal by Herzberg and Brähler (2006).”
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): “Besides the negative feeling, which may affect reliability (Herzberg & Brähler, 2006), this instrument cannot be used as a complementary measure in large-scale surveys where the number of items is severely restricted.”
