PSYCHOLOGY RESEARCH INVENTORY

Modified IPIP Need for Cognition Proxy (10-item)

This 10-item inventory is a locally modified IPIP-style proxy for need for cognition. It is not the original 34-item Need for Cognition Scale or the 18-item short form. Items use a general/typical thinking-style timeframe and a five-point agreement scale.
