A Japanese translation of the Swedish Universities Scales of Personality

• The Swedish Universities Scales of Personality (SSP) is a personality measurement tool with a short test battery of high psychometric quality. We translated the SSP into Japanese and administered it to 103 Japanese nationals. For 11 of the 13 SSP scales in the Japanese version of the SSP (SSP-J11), the Cronbach alpha ranged from 0.50 to 0.82 with good internal scale reliability. A principal factor analysis replicated the previous work by identifying the same three principal dimensions of Neuroticism, Aggression and Extraversion factors. Thus, the resulting three-factor SSP-J11 shows acceptable reliability and should provide informative insights about personality traits in research and clinical practice in a Japanese context.
