Structural Validity of Urdu IPIP NEO (original) (raw)

The IPIP-NEO-300 is a 300-item, freely available personality inventory based on the OCEAN Model of 30 distinctive personality traits. The inventory measures human personality preferences and groups them into five distinct factors, namely Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. The inventory has been translated into many languages before, but there was no translation and norms available for the Urdu language. This article reports the translation, creation of a web version, data collection (N=869), and reliability of an Urdu version of IPIP-NEO-300. We also conducted a CFA Analysis and Measurement Invariance test. Full measurement invariance was met for the full model, and partial measurement invariance was met for Neuroticism (metric and scalar) and extraversion (metric). In general, all models fit well and suggest that the Urdu IPIP-NEO-300 aligns well with the English IPIP-NEO-300. In some cases, the Urdu inventory performed better (e.g., higher internal consistency) than the English inventory.
