This study aims to explore the potential of transforming a verbal personality scale, the HP5 (Gustavsson, Jönsson, Linder & Weinryb, 2008), to a non-verbal (visual) personality scale. Instead of relying on the use of words, we give the respondents an opportunity to report personality traits (i.e. neuroticism, openness, conscientiousness, agreeableness and extraversion) using cartoons. According to Desmet (2006), nonverbal scales increase the pleasure of participating and allows researchers to uncover aspects that people are unwilling and/or unable to verbally express. We validate our non-verbal scale versus verbal items in HP5 in order to investigate to what degree the five different cartoons (e.g. extreme personalities) correspond to the verbal meaning we would like them to express. Each cartoon is measured by 15 items; three items for each factor. The scale used for each item was a four-level scale: completely agree (coded as 1), partly agree (coded as 2), partly disagree (coded as 3), completely disagree (coded as 4). The validation criteria were as following: (i) the three items measuring a particular factor must in average have an average of 1.33; (ii) every item must correspond more to the factor it is supposed to measure than to other factors. The study discusses problems, challenges and opportunities with visualising a verbal scale. The study also discusses cultural differences in body language and facial expressions. The cartoons are developed with designers at Ergonomidesign in Sweden and validated using 300 international students. The study is financed by the central bank of Sweden.
