Background: Temperament is an innate, though constantly developing disposition that is important to measure in infancy. Several theories have emerged to identify infant temperament types. Aim: Our study aims to examine the psychometric properties of the 15 selected items of the Infant Behavior Questionnaire in a representative Hungarian sample. Methods: Data of half-year-old infants (M = 5.74 months, SD = 0.51, range: 5–7 months) participating in the second wave of the Cohort ‘18 Hungarian Birth Cohort Study (n = 8,104) was analysed. The 15 selected items of the parental questionnaire Infant Behavior Questionnaire, abbreviated from the Infant Behavior Questionnaire-R-Very Short Form was applied in face-to-face interviews by health visitors. Results: The three-factor model (Positive affectivity/Surgency, Negative affectivity, Orientation and regulatory capacity, with 5-5 items), showed an acceptable fit (RMSEA = 0.047 [90% CI: 0.045; 0.049], Gamma Hat = 0.975, SRMR = 0.041, χ2(86) = 1625.54, CFI = 0.910, TLI = 0.890) after allowing the correlation between two items’ error variances. The internal consistency of the Positive Affectivity/Surgency (Cronbach’s α = 0.55) and Orientation and Regulatory Capacity (Cronbach’s α = 0.53) scales are weak, while their distribution shifts toward high values. The internal consistency of the Negative Affectivity scale is adequate (Cronbach’s α = 0.72), with a distribution close to normal. Four temperament types were distinguished based on cluster analysis: Average temperament (n = 2516, 31.6%), Easy temperament (n = 2229, 28.0%), Difficult temperament (n = 1896, 23.8%) and Low activity (n = 1325, 16.6%). Low birth weight and the maternal evaluation of the burden of infant’s sleeping and crying, were associated with temperament characteristics suggesting more difficult or lower activity temperament. Conclusions: The 15 selected items of the Infant Behavior Questionnaire is suitable to quickly assess infant temperament and compare it to nationally representative data, considering its limitations.
