TLDR
Intercorrelations among ratings on 35 personality traits, selected as representative of the personality domain, were obtained for eight samples, which differed in length of acquaintanceship from 3 days to more than a year.Abstract:
Intercorrelations among ratings on 35 personality traits, selected as representative of the personality domain, were obtained for eight samples. These samples differed in length of acquaintanceship from 3 days to more than a year; in kind of acquaintanceship from assessment programs in a military training course to a fraternity house situation; in type of subject from airmen with only a high-school education to male and female undergraduate students to first-year graduate students; and in type of rater from very naive persons to clinical psychologists and psychiatrists with years of experience in the evaluation of personality. Centroid or multiple-group factors were extracted and rotated orthogonally to simple structure. For one study, an independent solution was obtained in which analytic rotations were accomplished on an IBM 650 computer using Kaiser's normal varimax criterion. Five fairly strong and recurrent factors emerged from each analysis, labeled as (a) Surgency, (b) Agreeableness, (c) Dependability, (d) Emotional Stability, and (e) Culture.read more

A Test of a Personality-Based View of Intrinsic Motivation *
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether two Big-5 personality dimensions, conscientiousness and openness to experience, would affect intrinsic motivation and found that those two personality traits could be significant predictors of intrinsic motivation with the effects of task-related motivators controlled for.

Job quality: Conceptual and ethodological challenges for comparative analysis
TL;DR: However, progress towards articulating job quality in public policy, in terms of not only overarching principles but also concrete actions, has been slow as mentioned in this paper and one important impediment has been the conceptual confusion and the lack of a shared definition to inform both research and policy.

A review of the structure of normal range personality
TL;DR: In this article, a hierarchical model of the structure of human personality was developed, which not only encapsulated the content of extant personality inventories, but extended the extant models to better represent the accumulated knowledge in the field of personality research.

The varimax criterion for analytic rotation in factor analysis
TL;DR: In this article, an analytic criterion for rotation is defined and the scientific advantage of analytic criteria over subjective (graphical) rotational procedures is discussed, and a computational outline for the orthogonal normal varimax is appended.

Confirmation and clarification of primary personality factors.
TL;DR: Factorization yielded eleven factors, of which, on “blind” rotation for simple structure, 9 or 10 proved to be identical with those of the previous study.
