TL;DR: In this article, regression analysis techniques were applied using three self-report personality inventories (FCSRI-A, FCSRI-B, DAI) and a peer rating scale designed to measure five personality factors; surgency, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and culture were examined.
Abstract: : Three self-report personality inventories (FCSRI-A, FCSRI-B, DAI) and a peer rating scale designed to measure five personality factors; surgency, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and culture were examined. Regression analysis techniques were applied using these measures to predict retention and officer effectiveness as measured by Officer Effectiveness Reports (OERs). Analysis of the data indicated that measurements based on the peer ratings had higher predictive value for both criteria than the factor scores derived from the paper-and-pencil personality tests which rarely reached significance levels. Furthermore, peer ratings had a higher level of prediction for officer performance than retention. A regression equation including the self-report inventories, peer rating factors, and peer rating traits yielded an R of .19 for retention and an R of .36 for officer performance measures. When grade, Duty Air Force Specialty Code (DAFSC) and education were included as predictor variables, the correlations were .39 for retention and .43 for the OER rating. (Modified author abstract)

TL;DR: The authors explored the factor structure of the Personality Research Form (PRF) and examined the inventory's relations with response styles, finding that the content scales correlated moderately with each other and with measures of acquiescence, social desirability, and defensiveness response biases.
Abstract: The aims of this study were (a) to explore the factor structure of the Personality Research Form (PRF) and (b) to examine the inventory's relations with response styles. In general, the PRF content scales correlated moderately with each other and with measures of acquiescence, social desirability, and defensiveness response biases. Six oblique factors, identified as conscientiousness, hostility, ascendance, dependence, imagination, and carefreeness, were found in a principal axis analysis of the content scales. The stylistic measures' estimated loadings on these factors were scattered and moderate. Several factors were similar to the categorization of scales in the PRF manual as well as the factors previously obtained by Edwards, Abbott, and Klockars.
