What is the FF-NPQ?
The Five-Factor Nonverbal Personality Questionnaire (FF-NPQ) is a 60-item nonverbal measure suitable for the assessment of normal adult personality in counseling, research, and business settings. Nonverbal personality assessments are ideal for cross-cultural comparisons and for people who have reading difficulties or language barriers. The item illustrations in the FF-NPQ depict personality-relevant behaviors that are based on Murray’s system of needs, the scales of the Personality Research Form (PRF), and the Five-Factor Model of personality.
Who Should Use the FF-NPQ?
- Counselors looking for a brief assessment of broad personality in cross-cultural contexts
- Qualified users seeking to assess personality in individuals with literacy or language barriers
- Users seeking convenient online administration and counselor-led interpretation
Why Should I Use the FF-NPQ?
CONVENIENT. This nonverbal personality questionnaire can be administered on SIGMA’s online platform – SigmaTesting.com. Reports are generated immediately. Results are presented using graphs, numbers, and scale descriptions.
EASE OF INTERPRETATION. The FF-NPQ can be easily administered in different languages and countries without the need for translation. And unlike inkblot tests, these structured nonverbal assessments are simple to score and interpret.
RELIABLE AND VALID. Several studies have evaluated these nonverbal assessments in North American, European, Middle Eastern, and Asian countries and have demonstrated strong support for the reliability, validity, and general applicability of the assessment. Support for the psychometric properties of the NPQ and the FF-NPQ include satisfactory mean internal consistency reliability (alpha) values for a Canadian sample (.75), a Korean sample (.71), a European sample (.65), an Israeli sample (.65), and a Chinese sample (.61). The mean convergent validity between the NEO-FFITM and the FF-NPQ was .52. Across the seven countries sampled in the NPQ data, the mean convergent validity between the FF-NPQ and PRF measures of Big 5 personality factors was .48. Additional studies can be found in detail in the manual.
