TLDR
Correlations of E PP scales with NEO-PI-R facet scales provided preliminary evidence supporting the convergent and discriminant validity of the EPP scales, but varimax and targeted validimax factor analyses suggested that some EPP scores were misclassified and that EPP Scale could better be understood in terms of the 5-factor model than the intended 3-factor models.
Abstract
The Eysenck Personality Profiler (EPP), a set of 21 scales measuring primary traits hypothesized to be definers of Neuroticism, Extraversion, and Psychoticism factors, was administered to 229 adults together with the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire--Revised (H. J. Eysenck & S. B. G. Eysenck, 1991) and the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R; P. T. Costa & R. R. McCrae, 1992b). Correlations of EPP scales with NEO-PI-R facet scales provided preliminary evidence supporting the convergent and discriminant validity of the EPP scales. However, varimax and targeted validimax factor analyses suggested that some EPP scales were misclassified and that EPP scales could better be understood in terms of the 5-factor model than the intended 3-factor model.

Refining the relationship between personality and subjective well-being.

TL;DR: Analysis of individual measures of personality and categories of SWB shows that different personality and SWB scales can be substantively different and that the relationship between the two is typically much larger than previous meta-analyses have indicated.

Evaluating replicability of factors in the Revised NEO Personality Inventory: Confirmatory factor analysis versus Procrustes rotation.

TL;DR: The authors showed that Revised NEO-PI scales are not simple-structured but do approximate the normative 5-factor structure, however, goodness-of-fit indices were not high.
