Drawing on a large, nationally representative sample of young adults (the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health; N = 15,701; M age = 29.10), we evaluated the psychometric properties of the Mini-IPIP, a 20-item inventory designed to concisely assess the 5 factors of personality. The results suggest that the Mini-IPIP has a 5-factor structure; most of the scales have acceptable reliability; all the scales have partial or full metric invariance; and the scales exhibit some degree of criterion validity. However, the absence of scalar invariance for many of the scales suggests caution when comparing personality scores among groups defined by sex or race and ethnicity. We offer practical considerations for researchers interested in using this inventory with this sample, and also suggestions for modification of the Mini-IPIP.
我们利用一个大型的、具有全国代表性的年轻人样本（国家青少年健康纵向研究；N=15701；M 年龄=29.10），评估了 Mini-IPIP 的心理测量特性，这是一个 20 项的清单，旨在简洁地评估人格的 5 个因素。结果表明，Mini-IPIP 具有 5 因素结构；大多数量表具有可接受的可靠性；所有量表都具有部分或完全的度量不变性；并且这些量表具有一定程度的效标效度。然而，由于许多量表缺乏标量不变性，因此在比较基于性别、种族和民族定义的群体的人格分数时应谨慎。我们为有兴趣使用该清单对该样本进行研究的研究人员提供了一些实际考虑因素，并对 Mini-IPIP 的修改提出了一些建议。
