Résumé 0

"The Zuckerman-Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire (ZKPQ), a tool designed to measure the alternativefive-factor model of personality, was translated and adapted into the Spanish language. To date,there appears to be no normative data for the ZKPQ in general population samples in any culture. Theaim of this study was to obtain Spanish normative data for the scales and subscales in a communitysample of the general population. The questionnaire was administered to 1,678 participants of bothgenders (55.8 % females) with ages ranging from 18 to 93 years. The magnitude of the sample, as wellas an adequate representativity of both genders and the wide age range being considered, provides asatisfactory description of each scale and subscale of this instrument. The normative data obtainedshowed a normal distribution of the scales. The norms (means and standard deviations) are presentedby gender and five age ranges and are adjusted according to the level of education attained. Genderdifferences are in accordance with data obtained with instruments measuring similar personality traits.This is the first time the normative data of the ZKPQ is reported in a general community sample in anyculture"
