What Is Beyond the Big Five? Plenty
In a recent analysis of personality data, Saucier and Goldberg (1998) sought to answer the question, What is beyond the Big Five? Those authors evaluated numerous clusters of English person‐descriptive adjectives that have been suspected of referring to non–Big Five dimensions of personality. Their results led them to conclude that most, if not all, traits of personality can be adequately subsumed within the Big Five factor space. In contrast, ou…
Narrow reasoning about the use of broad personality measures for personnel selection
Ones and Viswesvaran (1996) have argued for the use of broad bandwidth, rather than narrow bandwidth, personality predictors in personnel selection research when overall job performance is the criterion of interest. We take the opposite position in this article—that homogeneous measures of unidimensional personality traits are always to be preferred as predictors of work (and other) criteria. We maintain that the use of multiple unidimensional pr…

Salivary testosterone and self-report aggressive and pro-social personality characteristics in men and women
Measures of salivary testosterone and the personality dimensions of aggression and pro-social behavior were obtained in 306 (155 male and 151 female) university students. Each participant provided two samples of saliva and completed ten self-report personality scales from multiple inventories. A factor analysis of the personality scales produced two factors, an aggression factor and a pro-social behavior factor. Men averaged five times the amount…

Analysis of Multitrait-Multirater Performance Appraisal Data
This study addresses the manner in which trait and rater variance combine in multitrait-multirater (MTMR) performance appraisal data. The Confirmatory Factor Analytic (CFA) model assumes trait and rater variance combine additively, whereas the Composite Direct Product (CDP) model assumes a multiplicative relationship. Implications of these models are explicated for MTMR data, and empirical differences are examined using four data sets. Results in…
The Dimensionality of Type A Behavior within a Stressful Work Simulation
The present study was conducted to examine the dimensionality of overt Type A behaviors elicited in a simulated stressful work environment. University students played a managerial role while being subjected to time and work‐load pressures, and completed the Survey of Work Styles (SWS; Jackson & Gray, 1989). Eighteen behaviors, coded by two raters based on audiovisual recordings, yielded relatively high interrater reliabilities. Principal componen…
Personality structure across cultures
Personality structure was assessed in 4 countries (Canada, Finland, Poland, and Germany) using both an established verbal personality inventory and a new nonverbal personality questionnaire. A 5-factor structure was found to be highly robust in that it was replicated across the 4 cultures and across the 2 personality assessment methods. The data are discussed in terms of (a) the failure to support a semantic similarity interpretation of personali…
Personality Measures as Predictors of Job Performance
The purpose of this study was to investigate conflicting findings in previous research on personality and job performance. Meta‐analysis was used to (a) assess the overall validity of personality measures as predictors of job performance, (b) investigate the moderating effects of several study characteristics on personality scale validity, and (c) appraise the predictability of job performance as a function of eight distinct categories of persona…
The relation between dominance, anger, and hormones in normally aging men
This paper examines the relation of two personality characteristics (dominance and anger) to hormones in normally aging men. The relation of the Jackson Personality Research Form E Dominance subscale and the Spielberger Anger Expression scale to serum levels of 17 endocrine variables, including testosterone (T) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), cortisol, and prolactin, was examined in 1709 men aged 39 to 70 years randomly sampled from the Boston Met…
Component Analysis versus Common Factor Analysis
Should one do a component analysis or a factor analysis? The choice is not obvious, because the two broad classes of procedures serve a similar purpose, and share many important mathematical characteristics. Despite many textbooks describing common factor analysis as the preferred procedure, principal component analysis has been the most widely applied. Here we summarize relevant information for the prospective factor/component analyst. First, we…

The Structured Nonverbal Assessment of Personality
This article describes the development of a structured nonverbal measure of personality based on Murray's (1938) system of needs. The items of the Nonverbal Personality Questionnaire consist of line drawings of a central figure performing trait‐relevant behaviors in specific situations; respondents are asked to indicate the likelihood of engaging in similar behaviors. The nonverbal form was administered to three Canadian samples of respondents an…
Identification of a Coronary-Prone Profile for Business Managers
This study compares three approaches to Type A assessment for identifying a coronary-prone profile for business managers. The Survey of Work Styles (SWS), a profile measure of the Type A behavior pattern, was compared with the Structured Interview (SI), a categorical measure, and with the Jenkins Activity Survey (JAS) and Framingham Type A Scale, both continuous measures. The blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiac effort of 163 middle-aged male …
Organization and personality correlates of participative behaviours using an in‐basket exercise
The present study was designed to initiate evaluation of an in‐basket measure of managerial participative decision making, examine the organization of participative behaviours, and examine the relations between participative tendency and six personality traits selected from the Personality Research Form (PRF; Jackson, 1986) and the Jackson Personality Inventory (JPI; Jackson, 1976). In‐basket responses from 78 Canadian managers were coded for six…

Prediction Models of Personality Item Responding
Recently, models of the process of responding to test items have been extended from the domain of ability tests to that of personality tests. A comparison of four such models was undertaken using three samples of respondents to Form E of the Personality Research Form, based on the responses of 301 high school students, 92 undergraduates, and 159 undergraduates. The models were the threshold model of Jackson (1968), a similar model based upon scal…
The Structure Validity of The Index of Organizational Reactions
The structural validity of the Index of Organizational Reactions (IOR), a popular multi-faceted job satisfaction scale, was investigated through the use of confirmatory first and second-order factor analysis. Three plausible first-order factor models for the IOR were tested on a stratified random sample of 445 employees of a large financial institution. Through the application of a variety of covariance structure fit indices, it was found that an…
Nomothetic and idiothetic measurement in personality
Lamiell (1981, 1982a) has recently advanced an idiographic approach to the measurement of personality that he has labeled “idiothetic” In contrast to classical nomothetic strategies, the idiothetic method of scaling personality traits discounts normative transformations of attribute scores and, according to Lamiell, provides the basis for a useful index of cross–situational behavior consistency An analysis of Lamiell's procedures indicates severa…
Idiothetic inquiry and the toil of Sisyphus
In response to the article by Lamiell and Trierweiler (this issue), we examine the stated epistemological origins of idiothetic proposals for theory and research in personality We argue that the justification for those proposals as advanced by Lamiell and his colleagues is wholely insufficient in view of prior research on the consistency of behavior This assertion together with our identification of problems in scaling personality and personality…
The Multidimensionality of Person Reliability
Person reliability concerns the response consistency of a single respondent to a number of psychological tests or test items. This study investigated various coefficients of person reliability, including both measures of within- and between-occasion consistency. Using a one-month test-retest interval, 123 undergraduates completed a 12-scale, 240-item, true-false inventory measuring various dimensions of psychopathology. Six consistency measures w…

Acquiescence and the factorial interpretation of the MMPI
The operation of reliable response sets or stylistic consistencies has been frequently noted on personality and attitude scales with a true-false or agree-disagree format (cf. Cronbach, 1946, 1950; Fricke, 1956; Messick & Jackson, 1958). It has recently been conjectured (Jackson & Messick, 1958) that the major common factors in personality inventories of this type are interpretable primarily in terms of such stylistic consistencies rather than in…

A Forced-Choice Adjective Preference Scale for Personality Assessment
With the aim of investigating a forced-choice format for studying selected personality check-list variables as a means of overcoming response set variance encountered in other adjective check lists, 17 bipolar scales were defined, and items comprising a sample of the items thought to represent the item universe of each scale were accumulated. From these samples of items, 20 were selected to represent each of the 17 scales, 10 from each extreme. O…
Personality Scale for Shallow Affect
A dimension of individual differences in shallow affect is proposed on theoretical grounds. One hundred items were prepared and comprised a provisional Shallow Affect Scale. When administered with standard instructions to respond true or false, the resulting Kuder-Richardson formula reliability was .81. When items were paired with personality items irrelevant to shallow affect on the basis of similar endorsement frequencies and again administered…

Group And Individual Regularities In Trait Inference
This study concerned regularities in trait inference, the manner in which limited information about another person is used to form a consistent total impression. An individual differences model for multidimensional scaling was appraised as a method for faithfully strong both broad culturally- determined standards, and differently-structured points of view. Judgments of likelihood of joint occurrence of trait pairs and measures of cognition were o…

The Perceived Structure Of Social Attitudes And Personality
This study examined the relationships between attitudes inferred from behavior and attitudes implied by item content. 60 subjects judged the similarity between all possible pairs of 18 attitude items and 6 person descriptions designed to reflect three hypothesized dimensions of authoritarian ideology. These interstimulus similarity judgments were subjected t o a multidimensional scaling analysis. Results supported the hypotheses that (a) subsets …
