AB - The Ten Item Personality Inventory (TIPI; Gosling, Rentfrow, & Swann, 2003) is awidely used very brief measure of the Big Five personality dimensions.Oshio, Abe, and Cutrone(2012) have developed a Japanese version of the TIPI(TIPI-J), which demonstrated acceptable levels of reliability and validity.Until now, all studies examining the validity of the TIPI-J have been conductedin the Japanese language; this reliance on a single language raises concernsabout the instrument’s content validity because the instrument coulddemonstrate reliability (e.g., retest) and some forms of validity (e.g.,convergent) but still not capture the full range of the dimensions as originallyconceptualized in English. Therefore, to test the content validity of theJapanese TIPI with respect to the original Big Five formulation, we examine theconvergence between scores on the TIPI-J and scores on the English-language BigFive Inventory (i.e., the BFI-E), an instrument specifically designed tooptimize Big Five content coverage. Two-hundred and twenty-eight Japaneseundergraduate students, who were all learning English, completed the twoinstruments. The results of correlation analyses and structural equationmodeling demonstrate the theorized congruence between the TIPI-J and the BFI-E,supporting the content validity of the TIPI-J.
