Computerised report: How does it work?

The computerized administration platform works in a simple and intuitive way.

  1. Register on the platform and log in
  2. Purchase PID-5 tokens (valid for all adult versions of the test)
    With credit card payment the token is available immediately at this link 
  3. Use the token and choose how to proceed with the administration

Specifically, the PID-5 administration and scoring platform allows the user to administer different versions of the PID-5, namely:

  • The 220-item version of the PID-5 (PID-5)
  • The 100-item version of the PID-5 (PID-5-SF)
  • The 25-item version of the PID-5 (PID-5-BF)
  • The informant version of the PID-5 (PID-5-IRF)

The PID-5 administration and scoring platform allows users to rely on three different modes for PID-5 administration:

  • on site administration: the examinee completes the PID-5 online using this website (e.g., during an assessment session);
  • online administration: the examinee receives a link from the test administrator (e.g., clinician) and completes the questionnaire from his own computer (e.g., at home);
  • offline administration:
    • platform user can enter PID-5 data collected from different source (e.g., paper-and-pencil administration)
    • the examinee completes the PID-5 using an excel file received from the test administrator (e.g., clinician) to complete the test offline.

Details regarding the development and usages of the PID-5 (as well as PID-5 norms) are described in the book Understanding the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5).
