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

An introduction to the five-factor model and its applications.
Robert R. McCrae,Oliver P. John +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the five-factor model of personality should prove useful both for individual assessment and for the elucidation of a number of topics of interest to personality psychologists.

An alternative "description of personality": the big-five factor structure.
TL;DR: The generality of this 5-factor model is here demonstrated across unusually comprehensive sets of trait terms, which suggest their potential utility as Big-Five markers in future studies.

Normal Human Aging: The Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging
TL;DR: This volume, a bargain at $18, will serve as an introduction to the BLSA, which has served as a useful antidote to the many studies that have been based on such skewed samples as persons in nursing homes or old patients from hospitals mostly serving the indigent.

The interactive effect of personality, time of day, and caffeine: A test of the arousal model.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the results from the first day of testing require a revision of Eysenck's theory of introversion/extraversion, because it appeared that low impulsives are more aroused in the morning and less arousing in the evening than are the high impulsives.
