In a final set of analyses, we used a confirmatory factor analytic (CFA) framework to investigate the evidence for the convergence of GFPs across inventories. Following prior published work on the GFP (e.g., Rushton & Irwing, 2008, 2009a, 2009b) we used the TCI, NEO-PI-R, CPI, HPI, and MPQ in these analyses. In order to derive manifest variables across measures that were comparable to each other, we first conducted EFAs on the MPQ and CPI, which each have a large number of lower order scales that have been shown to load on a smaller number of higher-order factors. This was accomplished using principal axis factoring with Oblimin rotation in PASW 18. In an effort to remain consistent with prior GFP work, we followed Rushton and Irwing (2009a, 2009b) by requesting five factors for the MPQ and six for the CPI, whereas we used the scale structure defined by the authors of the measure for the NEO-PI-R, TCI, and HPI. There were a total of 29 scales used as manifest variables in the CFA models (7 for TCI; 5 for NEO-PI-R; 6
