Abstract

NPQ, the Nonverbal Personality Questionnaire, is probably the most famous of all nonverbal structured personality measures. Its adaptation for the usage of Romanian psychologists comes rather late, after it is widely used in a large number of cultures. The present article discusses the nature and the characteristics of this personality measure and focuses especially on the psychometric data resulted of the Romanian normative sample, of 1800 subjects. The normative data, the reliability and validity of the NPQ mandate its usage in the Romanian cultural context. Even though initially created for the measurement of 17 of the concepts theorized by Henry Murray in his Theory of Needs, the factorial structure of the questionnaire, widely similar with the one of the Nort-American normative sample, imposes also an alternative scoring in the five meta-factors of personality largely known as the Big Five. The data presented here confirm that the NPQ is a personality measure that is perfectly adapted for multi-cultural usage. The instrument has a very good reliability, a remarcable validity and has excellent results in the evaluation of the normal adult personality. The advantages discussed in the present paper establish the NPQ as a primary personality measure for the present Romanian cultural context.
