Measurement Accuracy and Stability of Personality Traits by Conscious, Unconscious and Integral Estimations

Study of measurement accuracy and stability of personality traits using Big Five (B5) and MI-Sins questionnaires was done by Blitz Judgment program. Personality traits and personality profiles were measured by 3 estimations including conscious responses (self-report), unconscious responses (by vibraimage technology) and integral responses (half-sum of the normalized values of conscious and unconscious responses). A comparison of short-term (day) and long-term (year) stability of personality traits and emotions showed an excess of daily variability over long-term variability. Accuracy analysis showed higher measurement accuracy and stability of personality traits based on the integral responses to stimuli over conscious and unconscious responses. The mean measurement uncertainty of personality traits by integral responses measuring was 13.9%, including instability of personality traits and measurement errors. The mean uncertainty of states (emotions) measurement was 4.2%, including states instability and measurement errors. Concluded that for higher accuracy of personality traits measurements is necessary to measure both conscious and unconscious responses and transform them to integral responses. The significant influence of chronobiological rhythms and external factors on the stability of personality traits has been revealed
