The more circumscribed facet-level analyses revealed which aspects of the traits were the most strongly related to adiposity (see Table 2). Consistent with previous research (Terracciano et al., 2009), the strongest association was for N5: Impulsiveness: Those who were highly impulsive were the most likely to be overweight. Also consistent with previous research, active (E4: Activity), orderly (C2: Order), and self-disciplined (C5: Self-Discipline) participants were leaner, whereas assertive (E3: Assertiveness) participants were heavier. Finally, following the domain-level associations, participants who scored higher on the other four facets of Extraversion (E1: Warmth, E2: Gregariousness, E5: Excitement-Seeking, E6: Positive Emotions) were heavier; participants higher on A2: Straightforwardness were leaner. These associations revealed clinically-meaningful differences in weight. For example, participants who scored in the top 10% of N5: Impulsiveness weighed, on average, over 11 Kg more than those who scored in the lowest 10% of this trait. Likewise, participants who scored high on C2: Order weighed about 4.5 Kg less than those who scored low on Order.2 Additional analyses indicated a curvilinear relation between O2: Aesthetics and BMI such that those lower on
