MERINO SOTO, César A.; VILLANUEVA ZEGARRA, Vicente  and  DE ROMA, Virginia. Non verbal evaluation of the personality: exploratory analysis of a new one and potencial focus of evaluacion of the five of personality in professionals of the sport. Liberabit [online]. 2005, vol.11, n.11, pp. 119-124. ISSN 1729-4827.

In the present report, we examine preliminary psychometric properties of the Five Factors - Nonverbal Personality Questionnaire (FF-NPQ), it was developed by Paunonen, Ashton & Jackson (2001). The instrument uses pictorial incentives and a structured format for responses; it was completed by sport professionals and teachers (n = 112). The discoveries of internal validity (unidimensionality, internal consistency, divergent and convergent validity) converge with the international studies; and they point out the appropriate psychometric properties in this exploratory research. We discuss the discoveries regarding their utility and potential use in the personality assessment in the sport practices.
