Abstract: The Estonian version of the International Personality Item Pool NEO (IPIP-NEO;(Goldberg.1999) was administered to 297 participants in parallel with the Estonian version of the NEO-PI-R (Kallasmaa, Allik, Realo, & McCrae, 2000).On average, the EPIP-NEO items were 3 words, 7 syllables, and 18 characters shorter than the NEO-PI-R items.By all relevant psychometrical properties the EPIP-NEO was comparable to the NEO-PI-R.The mean convergent correlation between the facet scales was .73.The scales with shorter and grammatically simpler items tended to have higher internal reliability.It is concluded that the EPIP-NEO, as a more readable personality inventory compared to the NEO-PI-R, is suitable for a wider range of samples with different levels of abilities and educational background.
