Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI) in a French-speaking sample (1,554 participants, 59.3% of women). Our results showed that the French version of the TIPI has acceptable psychometric properties with satisfactory levels of temporal stability (after three and six weeks), satisfactory convergent and divergent construct validity in relationship with the Big Five Inventory (BFI), emotional intelligence, and self-esteem. As in the other translations of the TIPI, the limitation of our adaptation is the low level of internal consistency, especially concerning agreeableness, as in the Spanish version. The French TIPI is a promising scale that should be used preferably for exploratory purposes.Keywords
