TLDR
Two data sources--self-reports and peer ratings--and two instruments--adjective factors and questionnaire scales--were used to assess the five-factor model of personality, showing substantial cross-observer agreement on all five adjective factors.Abstract:
Two data sources--self-reports and peer ratings--and two instruments--adjective factors and questionnaire scales--were used to assess the five-factor model of personality. As in a previous study of self-reports (McCrae & Costa, 1985b), adjective factors of neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness-antagonism, and conscientiousness-undirectedness were identified in an analysis of 738 peer ratings of 275 adult subjects. Intraclass correlations among raters, ranging from .30 to .65, and correlations between mean peer ratings and self-reports, from .25 to .62, showed substantial cross-observer agreement on all five adjective factors. Similar results were seen in analyses of scales from the NEO Personality Inventory. Items from the adjective factors were used as guides in a discussion of the nature of the five factors. These data reinforce recent appeals for the adoption of the five-factor model in personality research and assessment.read more

Towards Understanding Assessments of the Big Five: Multitrait‐Multimethod Analyses of Convergent and Discriminant Validity Across Measurement Occasion and Type of Observer
TL;DR: The present results suggest that the degree of orthogonality of the Big Five traits depends on the source of the data, and a single informant produces Big five traits that are intercorrelated, whereas diverse informants tend to produce a much more orthogonal structure.

How are traits related to problem behavior in preschoolers? Similarities and contrasts between temperament and personality.
TL;DR: Regression analyses reveal that although single temperament and personality scales explain from 23% to 37% of problem behavior variance, the six components explain from 41% to 49% and provide a clearer differentiation among CBCL-problem scales.
