Cloninger's psychobiological model of personality integrates contributions from behavioral genetics, neurobiology, and psychology in the description of the human personality. The temperament and character inventory (TCI) is its assessment instrument. The Brazilian Portuguese version of the TCI has shown good psychometric properties. However, Portuguese spoken in Brazil presents marked and substantial differences to that spoken in Portugal, and no study has yet described the psychometrics of the European Portuguese version. The objective of this study was thus to describe the psychometric properties of the European Portuguese adult version of the TCI (the temperament and character inventory-revised (TCI-R)). This study involved 1400 Portuguese adult participants. The factorial structure of the European Portuguese version was tested using four methods: exploratory factor analysis, orthogonal procrustes rotation analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and exploratory structural equation modeling. The integration of data coming from these methods suggested that the Portuguese version of the TCI-R presented good structural validity (as revealed by the emergence of the temperament and character structures predicted by theory) and high levels of congruence between the American and the Portuguese versions. An improvement in the goodness of fit of the models for the Portuguese population was achieved by using exploratory structural equation modeling over confirmatory factor analysis. Although some facets registered questionable consistency, all dimensions had acceptable to good consistency (all ≥ .79). These results confirm the validity of the Portuguese TCI-R and its adequacy for use in European Portuguese samples.
克隆宁格的人格心理生物学模型在对人类人格的描述中整合了行为遗传学、神经生物学和心理学的贡献。气质与性格问卷（TCI）是其评估工具。TCI的巴西葡萄牙语版本已显示出良好的心理测量特性。然而，巴西使用的葡萄牙语与葡萄牙本土使用的葡萄牙语存在显著且实质性的差异，尚无研究描述欧洲葡萄牙语版本的心理测量学特征。因此，本研究的目的是描述欧洲葡萄牙语成人版TCI（修订版气质与性格问卷（TCI-R））的心理测量特性。本研究涉及1400名葡萄牙成年参与者。使用四种方法对欧洲葡萄牙语版本的因子结构进行了测试：探索性因子分析、正交普罗克汝斯旋转分析、验证性因子分析和探索性结构方程建模。这些方法所得数据的整合表明，葡萄牙语版TCI-R具有良好的结构效度（如理论预测的气质和性格结构的出现所示），并且美国版本和葡萄牙版本之间具有高度一致性。与验证性因子分析相比，使用探索性结构方程建模提高了葡萄牙人群模型的拟合优度。尽管一些方面的一致性存在问题，但所有维度的一致性均可接受或良好（均≥0.79）。这些结果证实了葡萄牙语TCI-R的有效性及其在欧洲葡萄牙语样本中的适用性。
