Big Five Inventory
The Big Five Inventory (BFI) is a 44-item self-report measure operationalizing the Five-Factor Model of personality, capturing Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. Developed by Oliver John and colleagues in 1991, the BFI is a more concise alternative to longer personality instruments while maintaining strong psychometric properties. The measure has become one of the most widely used personality assessments in organizational, clinical, social, and personality psychology research.
