Big 5 Questionnaire

Hi all, I am just wondering if we need to be more specific on the items or characteristics that was given in the Big Five Inventory questionnaire. I checked the IPIP website and the Big Five Factor Markers were provided with either a 10 points scale or a 20 points scale, each of which has different alpha coefficient that is used as an estimate of internal consistency (reliability) of the items given in each factor. So I am thinking maybe it's important to state which scale Dr. Jaimie used to create the 44 items. What do you think?

hey everyone,

I was thinking if we should specify that we completed the BIG5 questionnaire in class earlier in the paragraph? It seems to me that having it towards the end of the paragraph is kinda weird.

Do you think we should switch the location of this sentence: The Big Five Inventory is a self-report inventory designed to measure the Big Five dimensions, and it was given in the course material for participants to complete. and put it right after the second sentence?

In my opinion it would be better and more informative for the reader to know that the results were obtained through completing the questionnaire in class from the very beginning.

I'll change it now, but feel free to edit it if you feel that it is wrong.

Great idea Narmin, that edit definitely makes sense! It makes it clearer that we completed the BFI previous to completing our questionnaire.

I agree with you both, NarminSalmanova and SydneyW.
