. A novel personality inventory is presented in this article, named the Berlin Multi-Facet Personality Inventory. This new instrument is an adaptation of items from the International Personality Item Pool ( Goldberg, 2006 ) aimed at a more comprehensive set of Big Five facets. This tool has been developed to comprise a large number of nonredundant facets below each of the Big Five domains. Two language versions of the same inventory have been developed (English and German) and tested for measurement invariance in order to facilitate international usability. In addition to the construction of the inventory, this work presents first evidence for the psychometric quality of its scores in two different populations across two different studies. The inventory is freely available online.
