What it measures

Eight items measure the extent to which a person is motivated by outperforming others and winning in competitive situations. Chan and Briers (2019) borrowed the Interpersonal Competitiveness subscale from Griffin-Pierson's (1990) Competitiveness Questionnaire, which demonstrated unidimensionality, internal consistency, and several forms of validity in its original development with 326 U.S. MTurk participants.
