| IPIP
representations of the Values in Action Inventory of Strengths
(VIA-IS), are based on a preliminary version of the VIA-IS provided by
Christopher Peterson in June 2001 and described in Peterson and
Seligman (2003). The 240 items in the VIA-IS, plus 102 of Peterson’s
items that were not included in the VIA-IS, were revised to give them
the standard format of IPIP items (short phrases with no leading
pronoun). Since the 2001 version, the VIA Institute on Character
has revised the VIA-IS several times; the Institute provides the more
recent versions of the VIA-IS to researchers upon request. The
Institute's current VIA-IS assessment suite is available at: https://www.viacharacter.org/researchers/assessments/ . du Plessis, G. A., & de Bruin, G. P. (2015).
