      (WISPI-IV): tests of validity and reliability.

AB  - Personality disorders (PD) are a prevalent class of mental disorders that 
      interfere with functioning and cause subjective distress while increasing the 
      intensity and duration of Axis I clinical syndromes, and therefore assessing PD 
      is important even when PDs are not the focus of treatment. The purpose of these 
      studies was to develop and test a new Spanish version of a self-report measure of 
      PD, the Wisconsin Personality Inventory-IV (WISPI-IV) that would be 
      psychometrically equivalent to the English version while also maintaining the 
      same interpersonal content, which is based on Benjamin's analysis of the PD 
      criteria using her Structural Analysis of Social Behavior (SASB) model (1974). 
      Study 1 participants completed the WISPI-IV twice over a two-week interval. For 
      Study 2, participants from two sites in Spain and one site in Argentina completed 
      Spanish versions of the WISPI-IV and other personality measures. SASB-analysis of 
      the translated items showed high correspondence between the interpersonal content 
      of the English version and the Spanish version demonstrating theoretical 
      validation in relation to other PD measures. The Spanish WISPI-IV showed 
      satisfactory reliability based on test-retest correlations and alphas for 
      internal consistency. Study 2 showed the Spanish WISPI-IV had good convergent 
      validity with the Spanish versions of the IIP and SCID-II and performed similarly 
      to the English versions of these measures. Our goal in translating the WISPI-IV 
      was to extend this measure to Spanish-speakers in language that would be 
      understood by different Hispanic sub-groups, however research team members and 
      subjects had a variety of suggestions for changes in item wording. This reflects 
      the difficulty with creating a "neutral" Spanish version of any assessment given 
      regional differences.
