Abstract. Many studies have evaluated the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) validity and reliability. Unfortunately, research on PID-5 in Southeast Asian countries is still limited. This study aimed to identify the structural validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of PID-5. We involved 963 participants, and 68 of these participants filled the PID-5 twice. Facets and domains showed a satisfactory test–retest reliability (median r for facets = .84; median r for domains = .88), and acceptable McDonald’s omega indices (median ω for facets = .85; median ω for domains = .79). The hierarchical factor structure suggested that five-factor solution was interpretable, and this model showed a high congruency to its original version (ϕ = .97). Unfortunately, we could not achieve a model fit of this five-factor model. We hypothesized that the cultural influence and sample characteristics might explain this poor model fit. Finally, cautious administration and interpretation of PID-5 in Indonesia are highly recommended.

Prison provides correctional function for prisoners. There are some factors needed to be considered to enable the correctional process work optimally, one of them is the personality of prisoners. We need to consider this because there are different kinds of prisoners with different criminal backgrounds. This study aimed to identify the personality profiles of prisoners, including violent offenders, non-violent offenders and drug offenders, using the Indonesian version of Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5). We compared the personality profiles of the prisoners’ groups with the non-prisoner’s group in order to have more accurate personality profiles. The samples consisted of groups of violent offenders (n = 96, mean age = 27.99 years old), non-violent offenders (n = 79, mean age = 35.55 years old), drug offenders (n = 180, mean age = 32.90 years old), and non-prisoners (n = 245, mean age = 23.31 years old). Analyses using a series of One-Way ANOVA at the level of domains and facets of personality showed differences in the personality profiles of the three groups of prisoners and non-prisoner. In comparison to the non-prisoner group, the drug offender group was found having the largest number of differences in the personality profiles, whilst the non-violent offender group had the least number of personality profile differences.

Neuropsychological tests are proliferating in Indonesia. So far, unfortunately, it is not accompanied by the development of a performance validity test (PVT). According to international neuropsychological standards, using PVTs is essential to determine the validity of the neuropsychological test results. To date, there is no single standardized PVT available in Indonesia. In this article, we describe (1) the concept of performance validity testing, (2) the detection strategy, and (3) the procedure of PVT. Furthermore, several factors which affect PVT failure and its implication on the interpretation of a neuropsychological assessment are discussed. Considering the importance of PVTs incorporation and that it has become a standard by some neuropsychological associations, it is crucial to develop PVTs in Indonesia. Finally, the utilization of PVT should be performed cautiously, as many factors might influence the PVT result.
