Abstract

This paper examines within a Muslim society the inte¬rnal consistency reliability of an established IPIP measure of the Five Factor Model of personality drawing on the International Personality Item Pool. The specific hypothesis under investigation concerned the performance of the negatively-voiced items included within the measure, testing whether these items (that may imply disrespect for self) detract from the unidimensionality of the five factors. Data provided by 370 young adults between the ages of 18 and 26 years who were born in Punjab and who had lived there since their birth supported this hypothesis. The recommendation is that further work is now required to revisit the IPIP to source items to construct and test a new IPIP measure of the Five Factor Model of personality specifically designed for use in Muslim societies.
