The study was intended to standardize the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) into Korean version with higher coefficients of reliability and validity. The test items were translated and modified into Korean in order to be readable at the 7th grade of reading level through three times of the preliminary researches. The final statistics were obtained from nation-wide samples of 1529 students for high school and 1726 students for two and four year college and non-nation-wide samples of 561 students for middle school and 692 adults in Korea. As the results, there were statistically significant differences in the distributions between sex and among school levels. All the Cronbach α coefficients of five factors were within .82 ~.96 in the groups of three school levels and .74~.91 in the groups of adult. The factor structure of the Big-Five was obtained in factor analysis with varimax rotation and the same structure as that of American adult sample revealed high factor congruence coefficients (.90~.98) based on orthogonal procrustes rotation. High correlation coefficients of NEO-PI-R with the criteria of Career Exploration Inventory(CEI), MBTI and MAPI were revealed.
