To measure general personality the FFM-based inventories are frequently in use by researchers. Most of which are long and contain 50/60-120 items. As our research design contains other constructs than personality, we are looking for a suitable inventory. Thank you

If you want a measure with decent reliability and validity, the 60-item NEO-FFI (Costa & McCrae) or the 44-item Big Five Inventory (John & Srivastava) may be your best bets. I realize you want something even shorter, but remember, these have only 8-12 items per scale, which is already pretty short for a measure of a broad personality trait.
The shortest scale in use that has any value is probably the Ten Item Personality Inventory (TIPI; Gosling et al., 2003). With just 2 items per scale, don't expect too much! But it can be used in structural equation models and has some evidence of validity, at least on a large scale.
