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

Factor structure of English-language personality type-nouns.
TL;DR: This study tested structural hypotheses using 372 highly familiar English-language type-nouns and descriptions by 607 participants of either themselves, a liked, or a disliked target person, and found one- and 2-factor structures were most robust, and replicated similar structures found in previous adjectival studies.

Personality Theories for the 21st Century
TL;DR: The five-factor model of personality traits reinvigorated personality research, and the resulting findings spurred a new generation of personality theories as mentioned in this paper, which assign a central place to traits and acknowledge the crucial role of evolved biology in shaping human psychology; they also address the modifying influences of the social and cultural environment.

Parental education, grade attainment and earnings expectations among university students
TL;DR: The authors analyzed the relationship between socio-economic status and child outcomes in university, based on a rich and unique dataset of university students and found that large socioeconomic differences in academic performance exist at the point of entry into university, these differences are substantially narrowed during the period of study.

Locus of Control and Savings
TL;DR: This article analyzed the relationship between individuals' locus of control and their savings behavior and found that households with an internal reference person save more both in terms of levels and as a percentage of their permanent incomes.

Personality and IT security: An application of the five-factor model
TL;DR: Vulnerability can be minimized through modification of desktop security programs and increased vigilance on the part of the system administrator or CSO, and targeting high-risk users on an individual basis.

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.
