This paper is an exploratory study in two parts into the adaptation of the NEO‐PI‐R for use with individuals with intellectual disabilities (IDs). Study 1 was concerned with the simplification and reliability of questions to retain the meaning of the original. Eight participants completed both the original and the adapted versions, showing a very high consistency between versions. In Study 2, the adapted questionnaire was administered to an outpatient group of 40 people with ID. A rater version of each was also completed. Significant differences occurred between self and rater in the domains of Extraversion, Agreeableness and Conscientiousness. Consistent and inconsistent responding between S and R forms were highlighted, emphasizing the value of the rater form in the NEO‐PI‐R. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
