FAQs
Looking for older (legacy) versions of the NEO Inventories?
Contact PAR Customer Support to get information on the NEO PI-R, NEO-4, and legacy versions of the NEO-PI-3 and NEO-FFI-3.
Where can I find the content from the NEO PI-3 and FFI-3: Four Factor Version legacy components?
The table below displays where the information contained in the NEO PI-3/FFI-3: Four Factor Version legacy components can be found in the NEO PI-3/FFI-3: Four Factor Version (Normative Update) components.
What do I do with NEO PI-3 or FFI-3: Four Factor Version legacy inventory?
If you have NEO PI-3 or FFI-3: Four Factor Version legacy inventory (i-Admins and Score Reports) you can continue to use it until your inventory is depleted, without needing to immediately transition to the normative update. When your legacy inventory runs out, purchase the normative update version that meets your needs.
The process of assigning and administering assessments is the same for the legacy version and normative update version. You will follow the same steps on PARiConnect to assign assessments, administer the NEO, and generate reports.
