I found 10 items related to animals in the IPIP. Some are about suffering animals, though not explicitly “wild” animals.
Right, so I’m thinking I would write novel items specifically for rationalists.
No animal question is included in the 135 selected items for SPI. I am a bit confused about this as there is some claim that the selected items cover all topics.
SPI was basically constructed by taking 696 items from common preexisting personality inventories, and submitting them to factor analysis. This means that it is comprehensive with respect to those inventories, and also that it improves upon them, as there are many places where SPI’s factor analysis gave different results than the structure that had been imposed on the prior personality inventories. However, it is not comprehensive with respect to IPIP, as IPIP has 3320 items and not just 696 items, nor is it comprehensive with respect to personality more generally, as there are places where IPIP is missing items.
