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 for CPI; 6 for HPI, and 5 for MPQ; N = 556; covariance matrix available at www..edu). Given the wide differences in variance across scales from different measures, the variables were rescaled to standard scores in order to avoid problems with CFA estimation associated with differing variances across indicators. All CFA models were estimated in Mplus 6 (Muthén & Muthén, 2010) from the observed data file using maximum likelihood.
