Further application of simplified scoring of the Bernreuter Personality Inventory

Abstract

Due to certain questions concerning a previous article (see 19: 450), in which a short method of scoring the BPI was reported, the author checked the population sample of the previous study, the reliability of the short method, and its correlation with the full scores. The correlation between full scores and shortened scores fell below .90 in only one instance; correlations for B1N, B2S, B4D, and F1C were all .94 or above. Reliabilities of the short scores were as high as those of the full scores, and the samples used were shown to be representative. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
