The Big Five Inventory-2: Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Latent Profiles in a Mexican Sample

Introduction: The Big-Five Inventory-2 is a recently developed instrument for the measurement of personality factors and facets, with good psychometric properties cross-culturally. We examined validity this test, test-retest reliability, internal consistency in Mexican sample. also aimed to extract latent profiles order identify subgroups individuals based on traits. Method: recruited two-wave non-probabilistic sample by way chain referral through social networks. BFI-2 (60-items version) was administered first wave, BFI-2-XS (15-items second wave. Quality-of-Life Enjoyment Satisfaction Questionnaire-Short Form administered. baseline included 2,025 participants follow-up 610. Results: Factor models evidenced satisfactory goodness-of-fit, reliability nomological demographics (e.g., higher negative emotionality women) quality life. extracted five from BFI-2; those characterised High Agreeableness/Low Open-mindedness, Stability/Low Plasticity, Average Stability/Plasticity, showed better Conclusion: recommend use aiming reduce error. Further studies more demographically balanced samples should be performed test replication profiles.
