Abstract

Introduction: the article presents the results of the evaluation of differential-diagnostic capabilities of two personality questionnaires – BFI (Big Five Inventory) and Mini markers. Materials and methods: the questionnaires were filled by healthy individuals (256 people) and patients suffering from neurotic, associated with stress, somatoform and depression disorders (220 people). Results: ROC-analysis showed that the separation of these groups of respondents is possible by questionnaire BFI on the factors of extraversion and neuroticism, and by questionnaire Mini markers – on a factor of extraversion. Conclusions: these questionnaires have a diagnostic value in determining the risk of developing anxiety, depression and somatoform disorders.
