To further evaluate the interpretive meaning of these cross-instrument factors, we correlated them with the Big 5 dimensions from the NEO-PI-R (Table 3). Factor 1 seems to involve emotional resilience and surgency, as its strongest correlates were extraversion and (low) neuroticism, and it correlated positively with openness and conscientiousness. Factor 2 seems to involve antagonism and sensation-seeking, given its strong negative correlation with agreeableness and positive correlations with extraversion and openness. Factor 3 primarily reflects openness. We also correlated the GFP estimate from each instrument with the NEO-PI-R scales (Table 3), and observed notable variability in these patterns of correlations. For instance, whereas GFP estimates from measures that loaded strongly on factor 1 tended to have sizeable correlations with neuroticism (Mdn ȣrȣ = .51), the 6fpq estimate, which did not load strongly on factor 1, was uncorrelated with this trait.
