This inventory had been used in this study for measuring personality structure which was developed by Costa &
McCrae (1992). It is a 60 item questionnaire with 12 items each for the five factors (neuroticism, extraversion,
openness to change, agreeableness and conscientiousness). Participants rate the items on a five point scale, ranging
“strongly disagree” to “strongly agree”. Reported reliability coefficient of responses on the 5 scales ranged from
alpha .86 to .95.
Besides these some biographical information like age, gender, teaching experience, teachers’ training, income
etc. were also taken from the teachers.
