Abstract
Most salient personality theories maintain that traits are hierarchically organized, with a few broad factors at the apex of the structure and a number of narrow factors (primaries) below (Eysenck & Eysenck, 1985; Goldberg, 1993; McCrae & Costa, 1999). Many such structures have been proposed (Cattell, 1973; Costa & McCrae, 1992a; Eysenck, 1992), differing both in the number of broad factors they postulate (e.g., three, four, five) as well as in the substantive theories that underpin them (e.g., descriptive versus hypothetico-deductive).
