| Purpose | Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) — administration and scoring reference. |
Administration
Select the exact age/respondent form and use its item key, reversals and missing-response instructions.
Scoring method
Facet and domain scores; full, brief and informant forms are separate.
Interpretation & limitations
- Report the specified trait facets or domains; a dimensional trait profile is not an automatic personality disorder diagnosis.
- Interpret the findings alongside the clinical interview, functioning, history and relevant physical assessment.
- Do not apply a full-form facet key to a brief form or combine informant and self-report responses into one total.
- Use the original instrument and manual for item wording, rating anchors, missing-data rules and any normative conversions. This reference does not establish a diagnosis or select treatment.
