The IPIP-NEO Personality Inventory is an instrument with public domain items that assesses personality as defined by the Big Five Factors Theory. The objective of the study is to analyze the psychometric properties of the instrument in its Spanish version with 120 items distributed in five scales with six subscales each. The study is of an instrumental type that included Paraguayan college students. Data collection was carried out between April and December 2018, in the faculties of Medical Sciences, Philosophy, Social Sciences, Nursing and Obstetrics of the National University of Asunción and the medicine and dentistry careers of the Universidad del Pacífico. The study included 345 students between 17 and 36 years of age (mean of 21.2±2.8 years), mostly women (71.3%) and from the medical career (46.4%). Cronbach's alpha coefficient was for the neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness scales; 0.831; 0.785; 0.672; 0.795; 0.826, respectively. Both the internal consistency and the factorial structure were acceptable.
