文化的人格特征可以操作为文化成员的平均特质水平。来自51种文化的大学生对他们熟悉的国家的个人进行了评分（N = 12，156）。修订后的NEO人格量表（NEO-PI-R）量表的总评分在年龄和性别组中推广，接近个人水平的5因素模型，并与总的自我报告人格评分和其他文化水平的变量相关。这些结果不能归因于各国经济发展的差异或默许。规模方差和平均水平的地理差异被复制，欧洲人和美国人的外向性得分普遍高于亚洲人和非洲人。研究结果支持粗略的标量等效的NEO-PI-R因素和跨文化的方面，并建议聚合的个性特征提供洞察文化差异。
Personality profiles of cultures can be operationalized as the mean trait levels of culture members. College students from 51 cultures rated an individual from their country whom they knew well (N = 12,156). Aggregate scores on Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) scales generalized across age and sex groups, approximated the individual-level 5-factor model, and correlated with aggregate self-report personality scores and other culture-level variables. Results were not attributable to national differences in economic development or to acquiescence. Geographical differences in scale variances and mean levels were replicated, with Europeans and Americans generally scoring higher in Extraversion than Asians and Africans. Findings support the rough scalar equivalence of NEO-PI-R factors and facets across cultures and suggest that aggregate personality profiles provide insight into cultural differences.
