Abstract
The Five Factor Obsessive Compulsive Inventory-Short Form (FFOCI) is a brief measure of maladaptive variants of the Five Factor Model (FFM) personality traits that are linked to obsessive compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), which includes problematic aspects such as perfectionism, workaholism, and rigidity. The present study provides further validation to FFOCI-SF by investigating the degree of overlap of self-report ratings of FFOCI-SF, as well as ratings from a close friend. A total of 302 undergraduates completed FFOCI-SF, general personality measures and the information of a close friend to serve as an informant rater. One hundred thirty-five informants responded to the invitation to participate in the study and completed ratings of their close friend on FFOCI-SF and measures of general personality. Results indicated moderate to strong convergence between these perspectives (mdn r = .37), as well as evidence that both perspectives correlated in expected ways with other related constructs.
