TL;DR: Strelau as mentioned in this paper discussed the life and work of Jan Strelau from the perspectives of the Regulative Theory of Temperament and Five-Factor Theory, and the instruments associated with the two theories converge empirically: the temperament traits of Briskness and Endurance are related to Conscientiousness, Perseveration and Emotional reactivity to Neuroticism, Activity to Extraversion, and Sensory sensitivity to Openness.

TL;DR: The lay philosophical view of the person sketched here is intended to be broader and deeper as discussed by the authors , and is particularly relevant to trait psychology, appears to have been implicit in much trait research, and is generally consistent with empirical findings on personality traits.
Abstract: I summarize an early effort to provide a conceptual basis for psychology. Natural science studies material objects, and its methods and assumptions may not be appropriate for the study of persons. Persons exist within the natural attitude and are characterized by such properties as temporality, responsibility, normality, and identity. Contemporary theories of mind focus on people's understanding of how minds make decisions and shape behavior, but say little about the nature of the entity that possesses a mind; ethnopsychologies are concerned with cultural variations in beliefs about accidental rather than essential aspects of human psychology. The lay philosophical view of the person sketched here is intended to be broader and deeper. It is particularly relevant to trait psychology, appears to have been implicit in much trait research, and is generally consistent with empirical findings on personality traits.
