Pedagosko i psiholosko testiranje i procjenjivanje spadaju među najvažnije doprinose znanosti o ponasanju nasem drustvu i pružaju temeljna i znacajna poboljsanja u odnosu na ranije postupke. Iako se ne može ustvrditi da su svi testovi dovoljno usavrseni niti da su sva testiranja razborita i korisna, postoji velika kolicina informacija koje ukazuju na ucinkovitost kvalitetnih instrumenata u onim situacijama u kojima je njihovo koristenje potkrijepljeno validacijskim podacima. Pravilna upotreba testova može dovesti do boljih odluka o pojedincima i programima nego sto bi to bio slucaj bez njihovog koristenja, a također i ukazati na put za siri i pravedniji pristup obrazovanju i zaposljavanju. Međutim, losa upotreba testova može dovesti do zamjetne stete nanesene ispitanicima i drugim sudionicima u procesu donosenja odluka na temelju testovnih podataka. Cilj Standarda je promoviranje kvalitetne i eticne upotrebe testova te uspostavljanje osnovice za ocjenu kvalitete postupaka testiranja. Svrha objavljivanja Standarda je uspostavljanje kriterija za evaluaciju testova, provedbe testiranja i posljedica upotrebe testova. Iako bi evaluacija prikladnosti testa ili njegove primjene trebala ovisiti prvenstveno o strucnim misljenjima, Standardi pružaju okvir koji osigurava obuhvacanje svih relevantnih pitanja. Bilo bi poželjno da svi autori, sponzori, nakladnici i korisnici profesionalnih testova usvoje Standarde te da poticu druge da ih također prihvate.

Measuring personality in one minute or less: A 10-item short version of the Big Five Inventory in English and German

Paradigm shift to the integrative Big Five trait taxonomy: History, measurement, and conceptual issues.

Zusammenfassung. Die zunehmende Etablierung des Funf-Faktoren-Modells der Personlichkeit hat zur Folge, dass die so genannten “Big Five“ vermehrt auch in Anwendungskontexten erhoben werden sollen. Da jedoch gerade in diesen Bereichen die Untersuchungszeit oft stark begrenzt ist, sind die herkommlichen Verfahren zur Erfassung der funf Faktoren oft zu umfangreich. In der vorliegenden Studie wurde deshalb ein Fragebogen, das BFI-K, entwickelt, das mit 21 Items bzw. einer durchschnittlichen Bearbeitungsdauer unter 2 Minuten als extrem okonomisch angesehen werden kann. Die Ergebnisse belegen zufriedenstellende psychometrische Kennwerte fur das BFI-K. Neben ausreichenden Reliabilitaten konnten sowohl die faktorielle Validitat des Verfahrens als auch hohe Ubereinstimmungen mit Bekanntenurteilen und mit anderen etablierten Verfahren zu Erfassung des Funf-Faktoren-Modells bestatigt werden.

Kurzversion des Big Five Inventory (BFI-K):

. The 10-Item Big Five Inventory (BFI-10; Rammstedt & John, 2007), a short scale version of the well-established BFI, was developed to provide a personality inventory for research settings with extreme time constraints. It allows assessing the Big Five by only two items per dimension. Previous research has clearly shown that the BFI-10 possesses psychometric properties that are comparable in size and structure to those of the full-scale BFI. Based on data from a large sample representative of the German adult population, the present study aimed to provide norms for the total sample and for subsamples depending on different sociodemographic variables and to investigate effects of gender, age, and education on the BFI-10. Results indicate that the sociodemographic effects found in the German representative sample clearly replicate those of previous research conducted in that field.

The 10-Item Big Five Inventory Norm Values and Investigation of Sociodemographic Effects Based on a German Population Representative Sample

Psychological constructs are becoming increasingly important in social surveys. Scales for the assessment of these constructs are usually developed primarily for individual assessment and decision-making. Hence, in order to guarantee high levels of reliability, measurement precision, and validity, these scales are in most cases much too long to be applied in surveys. Such settings call for extremely short measures validated for the population as a whole. However, despite the unquestionable demand, appropriate measures are still lacking. There are several reasons for this. In particular, short scales have often been criticized for their potential psychometric shortcomings with regard to reliability and validity. In this article, the authors discuss the advantages of short scales as alternative measures in large-scale surveys. Possible reasons for the assumed limited psychometric qualities of short scales will be highlighted. The authors show that commonly used reliability estimators are not always appropri...
