The NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) is a shortened version of the NEO PI-R, designed to give quick, reliable and valid measures of the five domains of adult personality. The 60 items are rated on a five point scale. The NEO-FFI has a grade six reading level.
The NEO-FFI can help you understand your client's basic emotional, interpersonal, experiential, attitudinal, and motivational styles. It can also help you quickly develop rapport with your client, provide meaningful feedback and insight that will help your client develop a greater self-understanding, enable you to anticipate the course of therapy, and help you select the optimal treatment based on your client's personality.
The NEO-FFI offers observer-rating versions of the instrument NEO-FFI Form-R (Adult Men), appropriate for rating men and NEO-FFI Form-R (Adult Women), appropriate for rating women. A self-report version for college students, the NEO-FFI Form-S (College Age), also is available.
All NEO-FFI scoring profiles have a combined gender profile grid for plotting T scores, thereby supplementing the existing male and female grids. These enhancements to the NEO-FFI, coupled with the self-report information from the NEO-FFI Form-S, give you the necessary tools you need to create and carry out comprehensive treatment plans.
A brief supplement (Materials Update) is provided that directs the clinician to the appropriate location in the NEO PI-R Professional Manual for psychometric and technical information about the NEO-FFI additions.
The NEO-FFI scales show correlations of .75 to .89 with the NEO-PI validimax factors. Internal consistency values range from .74 to .89.
Materials required for hand scoring include a NEO PI-R test manual, one Form-S reusable test booklet, one answer sheet, one Form-S profile sheet and one feedback sheet per respondent.

The NEO PI-R manual provides information on test development and use, as well as validation data and norms for male and female adults.
Kit includes manual, 25 Form-S test booklets, and 25 feedback sheets.
In addition to the standard uses for a measure of normal personality, the FF-NPQ's unique item illustrations are ideal for use in cross-cultural situations and other applications where language understanding might be an issue.
Based on the Five-Factor model, the NEO PI-R measures the interpersonal, motivational, emotional, and attitudinal styles of adults and adolescents.
