在一个大的社区样本中（N = 490），当作为代表4个不同的举报人报告的共同方差的潜在变量建模时，“五大”并不是正交的。此外，潜空间存在标准的高阶因子结构：神经质（反向）、宜人性和尽责性构成一个因子，标记为稳定性，外向性和开放性/智力构成第二个因子，标记为可塑性。两种工具，大五量表和迷你标记的比较，支持了这样的假设，即单形容词评级工具可能比短语评级工具产生更低的相互一致性，更低的相互一致性与大五之间较弱的相关性和较不连贯的高阶因素结构有关。最后，讨论了高阶因素的解释，包括可能的神经生物学基础。
In a large community sample (N = 490), the Big Five were not orthogonal when modeled as latent variables representing the shared variance of reports from 4 different informants. Additionally, the standard higher-order factor structure was present in latent space: Neuroticism (reversed), Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness formed one factor, labeled Stability, and Extraversion and Openness/Intellect formed a second factor, labeled Plasticity. Comparison of two instruments, the Big Five Inventory and the Mini-Markers, supported the hypotheses that single-adjective rating instruments are likely to yield lower interrater agreement than phrase rating instruments and that lower interrater agreement is associated with weaker correlations among the Big Five and a less coherent higher-order factor structure. In conclusion, an interpretation of the higher-order factors is discussed, including possible neurobiological substrates.
