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.

Structures of personality and their relevance to psychopathology.

TL;DR: This work offers an integrative hierarchical model--composed of four higher order traits--that is congruent with each of the major structural subtraditions within personality.

Self-monitoring: Appraisal and reappraisal.

TL;DR: A quantitative method is proposed to examine the self-monitoring literature and thereby address major issues of the controversy and reveals that a wide range of external criteria tap a dimension directly measured by the Self-Monitoring Scale.

Do brand personality scales really measure brand personality

TL;DR: Brand personality is a key facet of a brand identity as mentioned in this paper, and the current scales of brand personality do not in fact measure brand personality, but merge a number of dimensions of brand identity, which need to be kept separate both on theoretical grounds and for practical use.

Extension of the Interpersonal Adjective Scales to include the Big Five dimensions of personality.

TL;DR: The IASR-B5 as mentioned in this paper is an extension of the Revised Interpersonal Adjective Scales (IAS-R) to include the additional Big Five dimensions of conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience.

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.
