16 型人格能擴充成 64 型嗎?

可以。而且只要擴充得正確,還能解決 4 字母類型最大的科學問題。

1. 這 4 個字母實際測量的是什麼

研究者讓同一群人同時做 MBTI 和五大人格測驗,發現 MBTI 的 4 個指標分別對應到五大人格中的 4 項特質:E/I 和外向性、S/N 和開放性都高度對應;T/F 和親和性、J/P 和盡責性則是中度對應。第 5 項五大人格特質「神經質」(情緒穩定性的反面),在 MBTI 中找不到對應的指標。[1] 換句話說,16 型人格是把 4 項真實存在的特質粗略地切開,而且漏掉了一項重要的特質。

2. 缺少的 2 個字母

情緒穩定性(C/R)是所有被測量的特質中影響最大的之一。它是最能預測身心健康與工作滿意度的人格特質,也和焦慮、憂鬱密切相關。[29][10][30]

誠實謙遜(M/A)是在許多語言的詞彙研究中發現的第 6 個因素,並由此發展出 HEXACO 模型。[5] 它在五大人格之外,還能預測合乎倫理的行為、合作與職場偏差行為。[13][14][6]

把 6 項特質各分成高、低兩邊,就得到 2⁶ = 64 型。每一個字母背後,都有數十年的研究支持。

3. 解決「類型變來變去」的問題

對 4 字母測驗一直以來的批評之一,是很多人重測後會得到不同的類型:分數集中在中間附近,只要一點點波動,字母就會翻轉。[2] 64 Types 為每項特質都提供百分等級,距離平均 10 分以內的特質會標示為臨界,並同時列出可能出現的其他類型。

4. 題目與常模

62 道題目全部來自公眾領域的國際人格題庫(IPIP),包括商業用途在內都可以自由使用。其中 50 題是五大人格因素標記[3],12 題是 IPIP-HEXACO 的誠實謙遜題目[4],後者從 4 個子面向(真誠、公平、不貪婪、謙虛)各選 3 題,挑選的是題目與總分相關最高的題目。

特質題數常模樣本 N信度(α)平均(1–5)SD
外向性1019,7180.893.010.92
開放性(智性)1019,7180.793.910.63

情緒穩定性1019,7180.872.900.86
誠實謙遜1222,7820.823.390.70

常模樣本:Open Psychometrics 公開的線上受測者資料集(約 2012 年蒐集;五大人格 N = 19,718,IPIP-HEXACO N = 22,782)。誠實謙遜的常模原為 7 點量表,已線性轉換為 5 點量表。線上自願受測的樣本偏向年輕族群(年齡中位數約 22 歲)和英語使用者。我們計畫日後以本站使用者的資料重新建立常模,並公開結果。

5. 深度報告(29 個面向)

選購的深度測驗使用公眾領域的 IPIP-NEO-120,以每個面向 4 題的方式測量五大人格的 30 個面向(Johnson, 2014, Journal of Research in Personality, 51, 78–89)。「自由主義」面向的題目詢問是否投票給自由派或保守派候選人,內容以美國為中心且具政治性,所以予以排除。百分等級根據 Johnson 公開的資料(410,376 份完整作答),面向在其中的信度為 α = 0.66–0.88。面向的精確度低於 6 項大範圍特質,報告中也會清楚註明。

中文版的 116 題以 IPIP 網站公開的 IPIP-NEO-120 中文(簡體)翻譯(Zhongyang Xu 等人,華東師範大學)為基礎,轉換為繁體字並改用台灣慣用語,同時統一以「我」開頭。與原文語意有出入的題目(例如「Take charge」原譯「承擔責任」、「Obstruct others’ plans」原譯「給別人使壞」、「Love a good fight」原譯「喜歡和別人比試」)已依原文修正;和免費測驗相同的英文題目,大多直接沿用免費測驗的繁體中文版本。

請注意:深度報告的常模來自英文版的受測者,中文版題目並未以台灣或香港的受測者另外建立常模。百分等級請當作參考。計分方式和英文版完全相同。

6. 關於中文版

五大人格 50 題採用 IPIP 網站公開的繁體中文翻譯(Sih-Ci Jhu,國立東華大學)。其中 5 題的原譯和原文語意有出入(「Leave my belongings around」「Start conversations」「Get upset easily」「Take time out for others」「Follow a schedule」),已依原文修正措辭。

誠實謙遜的 12 題查無已公開的中文翻譯,由本站翻譯。

請注意:計分常模來自英語受測者的資料。中文版題目並未以台灣或香港的受測者另外建立常模。翻譯和文化差異可能會改變作答的傾向,所以百分等級請當作參考。分數的計算方式本身和英文版完全相同。

7. 清楚說明限制

  • 自陳量表反映的是你如何看待自己。這不是臨床、診斷或招募用的測驗。
  • 特質是連續的。類型只是摘要,代碼相同的兩個人,百分等級也可能差很多。
  • 特質與結果的關聯是真實的,但並不大(典型為 r ≈ .10–.30)。重複驗證的成功率很高,但效果往往比最初的報告小。[37][34][38]
  • 人格會改變。人通常隨著年齡變得更盡責、更親和、情緒更穩定,刻意的努力和心理治療也能改變特質。[33][35][36]
  • 4 字母類型的名稱是本站根據特質自行撰寫的描述。本站不使用缺乏實證支持的「認知功能」,也不對它做任何主張。
