Abstract


The test Measuring INTegrity (MINT) is based on theoretical model postulating an overall integrity factor, aggregated from three of the Five Factor Model FFM factors of personality: Emotional stability (ES), Agreeableness (A) and Conscientiousness (C),..The theoretical model also postulates that ES exists at a different level of abstraction compared to the A and C factors. For interpretation, MINT provides the overall integrity factor, as well as indicators of two lower-level factors: Interpersonal and Task Orientation respectively. This study investigates the measurement properties across language-versions of MINT (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, and Finnish). First, a nested confirmatory factor analysis was applied to data (N=47 868) to test the hierarchical model of integrity. Second, multiple group analysis was used to test for invariance of the test across the studied versions. The results of the tests of measurement invariance (metric invariance, scalar invariance, invariance variance and invariant uniqueness) all shows that the measurement properties of MINT do not diverge across the different versions, although the observed test scores levels differ between language versions.
