Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) is of the utmost importance in light of the rapid development of the global Internet because technological advancements have the potential to make life easier and more productive. In this paper, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) will be the main model of the study while personal innovativeness will serve as a moderating variable. The aim of this study is to examine the validity and reliability test on personal innovativeness as a moderating role between perceived usefulness, perceived security, perceived privacy, and perceived simplicity of use with the intent of adoption as the dependent variable. Content validity and construct validity will be used with the expertise (industrial and academic expertise), and the reliability test will focus on Internal Consistency Reliability, Convergent Validity, and Discriminant Validity. As this study will be applied in Shenzhen, China, some suggestions will be discussed, especially on the characteristics of inventive persons from a cultural and societal point of view. As a result, the measurement items of personal innovativeness will be improved and validated for the study.
