Abstract
Objective: To translate NEO-PI-3 into Thai, using back-translation and assess psychometric property by test-retest reliability.
Materials and Methods: Team researchers and 4 English language experts translated, and then back-translated the 37 NEO-PI-3 test items. Psychological Assessment Resources (PAR), Copyright owner of NEO-PI-3, evaluated the adequacy of the translation. We adjusted the items as suggested by PAR. This back-translated process has been repeated until the translated version of the test was theoretically and accurately accepted and approved by PAR. Then, we conducted a bilingual test-retest reliability study to compare the correlations for all the facet scales with 35 bilinguals.
Results: The analyses of those who completed the tests found the correlation coefficients of 26 facet scales were significantly correlated. Four facet scales: O6: Values, A2: Straightforwardness, A4: Compliance and A6: Tender-Mindedness, were not significantly correlated.
Conclusion: Overall, the study found moderate to strong correlation coefficient for test-retest reliability of the facet scales. The results suggested the usability of the translated scales but with some cultural and language limitations.
