The NEO Inventories provide a comprehensive and detailed assessment of adult and adolescent personality that is well-established and respected.

Features and benefits

  • The NEO-PI-3 is a revision of the revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R), the standard questionnaire of the five-factor model. In addition to measuring the five major domains of personality (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness), the NEO-PI-3 gives insight into the six facets that define each domain.
  • Retaining the reliability and validity of the NEO PI-R, the NEO-PI-3 features new normative data. A total of 38 items from the NEO PI-R have been revised or edited to lower the reading level and make the instrument more appropriate for younger examinees or adults with lower educational levels.
  • The two-part carbonless hand-scorable answer sheet, usable with either Form S (for self-reports) or Form R (for observer reports), eliminates the need for separate scoring keys or templates.

In this edition

  • Separate adolescent (12–20 years) and adult (21 years and older) norms are available.
  • Profile forms have been made larger and more user-friendly. A separate profile form for combined-sex norms is now available.
