Personality Inventory for DSM-5
The Personality Inventory for DSM-5 — Brief Form (PID-5-BF) — Adult
About this measure
Show ▾This is a list of things different people might say about themselves. There are no right or wrong answers — the goal is to describe yourself as honestly as possible.
The measure assesses 5 personality trait domains, each made up of 5 items: Negative Affect, Detachment, Antagonism, Disinhibition, and Psychoticism. The overall score ranges from 0 to 75; each domain ranges from 0 to 15. Higher scores indicate greater personality dysfunction, either overall or within that specific domain.
Average scores (raw score ÷ number of items) are also shown, reducing each domain and the overall score to a 0–3 scale so they can be thought of relative to the response options themselves.
