Quick and Concise Measure of the Five Domains of Personality

The NEO-FFI-3™ (Normative Update) is a shorter, 60-item version of the NEO-PI-3™ (Normative Update) that measures the five main dimensions of personality: Agreeableness (A), Conscientiousness (C), Neuroticism (N), Extraversion (E), and Openness to Experience (O) without assessing the individual facets, allowing for a quick assessment of personality to use with your clients.

Normative Update Features and benefits

  • An updated normative sample was collected in 2024 and is representative of the current U.S. Census.
  • Administration is reduced to three forms: a Self-Report Form, an Informant Report Form–Male, and Informant Report Form–Female
  • Scoring and report generation are exclusively through PARiConnect.
  • The updated manual includes useful supplemental materials, including a blank profile form that allows professionals to plot T scores from multiple raters.
  • The NEO Style Graphs are provided in the Interpretive Report and provide more extensive feedback that considers configurations of factors. The T score for the vertical and horizontal axis, which are based on domain, are located at the top of each graph. The point of their intersection is indicated with an X. This point identifies the style of the respondent, and the description associated with that quadrant of the graph characterises their style.
  • The NEO Feedback Summary provides direct feedback to the client about their responses across the five broad factors of personality. Available only on PARiConnect.

The normative update for the NEO-FFI-3 was collected in 2024. This sample included 1,855 individuals aged 12 and above for the Self-Report Form and 1,200 individuals for the Informant Report Form. 

The NEO-FFI-3 (Normative Update) demonstrates a high level of internal consistency across the total sample.  Cronbach's alpha values for the five domains range from 0.72 to 0.87 for the Self-Report Form and 0.73-0.90 for the Informant Report Form.

Retest reliability for the NEO-FFI-3 (Normative Update) is stable across the total sample, with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for the five domains ranging from 0.79 to 0.91 for the Self-Report Form and 0.82 to 0.94 for the Informant Report Form.

The legacy version is no longer available for purchase because the norms in that version have become outdated. We do not have any print material remaining.

If you have NEO FFI-3 legacy digital inventory (i-Admins, Score Reports, Interpretive Reports) in PARiConnect, you can continue to use it until the inventory is depleted without needing to immediately transition to the normative update. When your legacy inventory runs out, purchase the normative update.

The process of assigning and administering assessments is the same for the legacy version and normative update version. You will follow the same steps using the normative update inventory in PARiConnect to assign assessments, administer the NEO, and generate reports.

If you have print inventory for the legacy version of the NEO FFI-3 you can continue to use them until your inventory runs out, but we cannot provide any additional print materials.

If your PARiConnect account currently has unused legacy version items and you would like to swap those to the Normative Update, please contact us and we can facilitate the swap of any remaining i-Admin or Report inventory for the equivalent inventory of the NEO-FFI-3 (Normative Update).
