Finally, there is a 60-item inventory, the NEO FFI. There are paper and computer versions of both forms. The manual reports that administration of the full version should take between 30 and 40 minutes. Costa and McCrae reported that an individual should not be evaluated if more than 40 items are missing.
Some psychometric researchers focus on the construction and validation of assessment instruments, including surveys, scales, and open-or close-ended questionnaires. Others focus on research relating to measurement theory (e.g., item response theory , intraclass correlation ) or specialize as learning and development professionals.
