Résumé

A growing body of research has recently highlighted that informant-report is a unique and too often neglected source of personality information. Several personality questionnaires have a form that can be filled out by informants, including the second version of the Big Five inventory (BFI-2), which uses 60 items to assess five major personality dimensions or domains and 15 facets. However, researchers sometimes need shorter questionnaires. The objective of this study was to verify the psychometric properties of the two short forms of the BFI-2 informant-report.
