Resumo

Apesar de reconhecer o modelo de personalidade Big Five para avaliação de personalidade e sua aplicabilidade para pesquisa em geral, particularmente em estudos de gerenciamento de projetos, a relevância dos instrumentos de pesquisa é parcialmente devido aos instrumentos proprietários. Estes são caros ou difíceis de usar porque são instrumentos com muitas afirmações. Este artigo é dividido em duas partes. Primeiro, seguindo a proposta de Zhang, Wang, He, Jie e Deng (2019), neste estudo validamos a escala curta de 15 itens (CBF-PI-15) para o Brasil e confirmamos para profissionais de projetos. Então apresentamos exemplos simples de uso prático para profissionais de gerenciamento de projetos. Defendemos a pesquisa anterior em avaliação de personalidade e as possibilidades de pesquisa com profissionais de projetos. Seguindo as melhores práticas, Análise Fatorial Exploratória e Confirmatória foram conduzidas com níveis adequados de consistência interna e confiabilidade. Nossa validação permite pesquisa científica, considerada projetos, e é uma medida parcimoniosa do modelo Big Five de personalidade, mantendo os cinco fatores da escala proprietária original. Realizamos exemplos de uso que indicam uma mudança no comportamento dos profissionais de projetos através do crescimento e subsequente diminuição na abertura à experiência, aumentando a experiência em gerenciamento de projetos.
